The newly modernized and expanded Medical Clinic at Hurlburt Field was recently certified LEED Silver by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Hurlburt Field, an auxiliary field of Eglin Air Force Base in Mary Esther, Florida, is home to the 1st Special Operations Medical Group and Air Force Special Operations Command. The clinic’s primary mission is to provide deployment medicine and physical and mental readiness support for 15,000 Air Commandos as well as healthcare for families and base personnel.
The multi-faceted, $50 million, design-build project entailed extensive renovations to 80,000 square feet across three buildings as well as a 3,000-sq. ft. expansion to realign healthcare operations at the base. Building 91020, the central facility of the multi-unit medical and dental complex, achieved the LEED Silver designation for performance in energy, water, indoor environmental quality and durability. Collaboration with all technical disciplines from the outset of design through construction was a key factor in achieving the LEED rating.
“We have a great, long-lasting partnership with the U.S. Air Force and JE Dunn that is completely committed to providing superior healthcare facilities to our active-duty military service personnel and Veterans. This partnership has been ongoing for many years and we are honored to see that it continues to provide exceptional healthcare for our active-duty military and our Veterans.”
