WEST ORANGE, NJ — Atkins Companies has kicked off a large “capital improvement project” at a medical office building in West Orange, the firm recently announced.

The project is taking place at the 120,000-square-foot Atkins Kent 101 medical office building located at 101 Old Short Hills Road.

According to a company news release, the new capital improvement project will “modernize the building’s common areas to better meet the needs of today’s health care practitioners and their patients.” The plan will include a complete renovation and modernization of the common areas and restrooms on the second, fourth and fifth floors.

It’s slated to finish in March 2022.

“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 health care 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.
