This project consolodated services to B31 for veteran access and efficiencies. The new addition to B31 was designed around the PACT Space Module with onstage and off stage traffic and a shared providers work area to increase collaboration and patient care services. This phase of the facilities 10-year plan entailed relocating outpatient diagnostic specialty services that are currently scattered across separate buildings into a new Ambulatory Care Unit constructed on the north side of Building 31. The scattered locations did not allow for efficient clinical processes, they complicated the patient experience, and presented safety issues for mobility impaired Veterans walking to the various buildings. Most Specialty Clinics were located in Building 27 which is approximately 1/8 - 1/4 mile away from the main clinical Building 31. In addition to the improved efficiencies, this project improves the patient experience. Direct connections with the neighboring Services improved patient safety. The Radiology Department and Pharmacy, which are key supporting services to these specialty services, are located in Building 31. The addition is also in close proximity to Primary Care and Urgent Care. Central plant and building infrastructure utilities were master planned to be extended. A new 5kV backup medium voltage circuit was brought to the site from ½ mile away to provide spare capacity and redundancy to the critical building loads. Extensive central plant chilled water work and coordination had to occur.
