CVS/Pharmacy UF

Hawkins was chosen for the construction this new two-story CVS pharmacy with a brick facade and pedestrian plaza at Southwest 13th Street and 16th Avenue in Gainesville, Florida. It opened a year after demolition began on the previous buildings on that corner. The driveway to the strip mall to the east was closed and a shared driveway opened along 16th Avenue. 

Unlike the typical CVS design, the new store includes second-floor office space and a brick facade, similar to the store that Hawkins completed at 1515 NW 13th St. This CVS has a lot of window space, a landscaped pedestrian plaza with a shade structure and benches, wrought-iron fencing and brick retaining walls to meet city design standards for that area.
