The Jacksonville Medical Examiner’s Office Expansion is a groundbreaking example of PoE in government buildings, enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and forensic capabilities. This 51,000-square-foot facility in Jacksonville, Florida, will triple capacity, accommodating up to 300 decedents to meet the rising demand for forensic services across Northeast Florida. The project is expected to be completed in Winter 2025.
A key feature of the new facility is its PoE smart lighting and control system, integrating 1,210 PoE-enabled fixtures managed through MHT Technologies’ Inspextor platform. With 1,117 PoE nodes, 207 emergency nodes, and advanced motion sensors, the system optimizes energy efficiency, security, and reliability—ensuring uninterrupted functionality during power outages. Real-time monitoring, occupancy-based lighting adjustments, and automated controls further improve operational efficiency while reducing maintenance costs.
This expansion exemplifies how the implementation of PoE in government buildings drives energy savings, lower installation costs, and enhanced lighting automation. The smart infrastructure ensures compliance with forensic standards while streamlining investigations and public safety operations. As more municipalities recognize the benefits of PoE in government buildings, projects like this set a precedent for future smart infrastructure investments.
As a future-ready PoE government building, the Jacksonville Medical Examiner’s Office sets a new benchmark for intelligent automation and sustainable design in public sector infrastructure.
