West Orange, N.J. (October 25, 2022) – Atkins Companies announces the completion of capital improvements at its 120,000-square-foot Atkins Kent 101 medical office building located at 101 Old Short Hills Road in West Orange, N.J.
Located directly across the street from Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center and adjacent to RWJBarnabas Health’s corporate offices in West Orange, Atkins Kent 101 is one of the area’s premier healthcare facilities serving the needs of private practitioners as well as large regional healthcare systems. Constructed in 1983 by Atkins Companies, the building features three stretcher-accessible elevators, ample patient parking with an abundance of handicapped spaces, automatic doors, canopied entries for patient drop-off, and a modern design featuring a two-story lobby with granite flooring. The building’s timeless design, paired with Atkins Companies’ hands-on management and proactive capital investments, has continually cemented its role as an invaluable piece of the local area’s healthcare landscape over the last four decades.
Aiming to build upon its legacy of strategic investments into Atkins Kent 101, the capital improvement project sought to enhance patients’ and practitioners’ experience at the building. The improvements include the renovation and modernization of the building’s common areas and restrooms on the second, fourth and fifth floors through the addition of new lighting, flooring, fixtures and decor.
“Today’s healthcare practitioners and their patients expect and deserve an experience that moves beyond just providing four walls and a roof,” said Bob Atkins, Principal of Atkins Companies. “Across our portfolio, we’ve emphasized ensuring our spaces and management continually exceed their expectations. These latest capital improvements at Atkins Kent 101 speak to that commitment and we are proud to deliver this space to all of those who enter the building.”
