🐾 50 Projects for 50 Years | Project No. 11 | Pet Paradise Resort

It’s always rewarding to see a project succeed—and even more rewarding to come back and help it grow.

Originally completed in 2008, this upscale pet boarding and daycare facility brought a new level of care to the area—combining climate-controlled indoor suites, grooming services, and thoughtfully designed outdoor play spaces, all within a site carefully planned to remain compatible with its rural surroundings.
eda supported the project from the beginning, providing planning, engineering, and surveying services to guide it through the Special Exception process and development approvals, and delivering the civil design needed to bring the site to life.

Then, more than a decade later, we had the opportunity to return.
In 2020, following annexation into the City of Newberry, eda supported the expansion of the facility—adding new building space, increasing capacity, and navigating a new round of approvals under updated regulations. The expanded site plan was carefully designed to integrate with the original development while maintaining the same buffering, setbacks, and overall character of the property.

Today, Pet Paradise continues to serve the community as a trusted pet care destination—designed to grow alongside the community it serves.

🩺 50 Projects for 50 Years | Project No. 10 | UF Health Proton Therapy Institute Gantry Expansion

Advancing healthcare means designing for precision—not just inside the treatment room, but across every inch of the site.

For the UF Health Proton Therapy Institute's expansion in 2019, eda supported the addition of a new proton accelerator and gantry, expanding the facility’s capacity to deliver highly specialized cancer treatments. Our team provided both surveying and civil engineering services, working within a dense, built environment to carefully coordinate new infrastructure with existing systems.

From detailed topographic and utility surveys—including ground penetrating radar—to the design of grading, stormwater, water, and sewer systems, this project required a high level of accuracy and collaboration. The expansion also included rerouting an existing water main and modifying parking and circulation to support the updated facility.

Projects like this reflect the kind of thoughtful, technical work that happens behind the scenes in complex healthcare environments—where every detail matters, and every improvement supports better outcomes for patients and providers alike.

As we celebrate 50 years, we’re proud to have contributed to projects that strengthen critical infrastructure and expand access to advanced care across Florida.

✈️ 50 Projects for 50 Years | Project #9 | GNV Waldo Access Road

Connecting people, places, and possibilities

eda partnered with the Gainesville Regional Airport to design a new 3,200-foot entrance road linking Waldo Road directly to the airport terminal, creating a safer, more efficient arrival experience for travelers and visitors alike.

Delivered in two phases, this project required thoughtful coordination across multiple agencies and disciplines. Our team provided full-service support from the ground up—beginning with detailed topographic surveying that captured wetlands, utilities, and existing site features, and continuing through complete civil design, stormwater engineering, and permitting.

We worked closely with the St. Johns River Water Management District, the City of Gainesville, and GRU to secure approvals and implement critical infrastructure improvements, including modifications to the site’s existing Environmental Resource Permit and integration with the master drainage system.

This project is one of many eda has supported at the airport over the years. From access and infrastructure improvements like this roadway to more recent growth-focused efforts—including passenger terminal expansion and apron and runway projects—our team has remained a consistent partner in helping the airport evolve and expand.
