This comprehensive outpatient clinic features the VA’s Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) model of care, which centers on patient-driven, proactive, personalized, and team-based care. A separate 28,500-square-foot domiciliary provides residential rehab and treatment services for homeless veterans.
The project team focused on sustainable design features for the architecture and interior design, including high-performance glazing, energy-efficient lighting, native landscapes to reduce water usage, and an on-site detention basin to collect stormwater runoff and minimize peak runoff in wetlands. The project received a Two Green Globes for New Construction certification from the Green Building Initiative.
Large windows, warm wood panels, accent colors, and natural elements create a fresh and relaxing environment for veterans and their families. The outpatient clinic and domiciliary are connected with a covered walkway. The domiciliary patient wing is arranged around a central nurses’ station, allowing panoramic visibility of the resident bedroom corridors. The clinic also includes an extensive imaging program with MRI, CT, and women’s imaging center, as well as substance abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder treatment programs.
