Over the last 15 years, there have been three major building collapses in the Jacksonville area: The Berkman Plaza II in 2007, the Ascension St. Vincent’s Riverside parking garage in 2023, and the collapse of a building in Jacksonville’s Urban Core on Monday evening. News4JAX spoke with Mark Kilgore, a forensic structural engineer, who pointed to a couple of factors that could contribute to structure failures, including the age of the building, a lack of maintenance, and water intrusion.

Repairs are underway at the Dillon Parking Garage at Ascension St. Vincent’s Riverside campus, with a price tag of $3.75 million. The garage, which is visible from Riverside Avenue, is not the same one that collapsed last year.

Lawmakers in Tallahassee are turning their attention to a neurodegenerative disease that is alleged to have affected a former orthopedic surgeon at Ascension St. Vincent’s Riverside for years before he stopped practicing.

More than 100 people remain without their cars following the partial parking garage collapse at Ascension St. Vincent’s Hospital Riverside.

The builder of the parking garage at Ascension St. Vincent’s Riverside hospital that partially collapsed said Wednesday that it stands by its work on the garage and plans to assist in the investigation into what happened.
