Veterans Administration – Twenty-nine Palms, CA
Situation: Additional space required for PTSD and Battle Fatigue studies
Scope: Provide Veterans Administration with modular space of 4,000 usable sq. ft. 5 modules: 20 offices with noise reduction systems, 2 ADA rest rooms, Mechanical and IT rooms. Exterior: relocation of high voltage lines, new transformer and switchgear.
Challenges: Location identified for modular building was previously used for one of the base gas stations. This created environmental and excavation issues while working on underground utilities. In addition, the project was a joint sponsored bond program with VA, DPW and Marine corps medical team.
Solution: SCG provided a design that would incorporate current base environmental requirements while keeping cost down by using as much of existing utilities as possible. In addition, we were able to facilitate a compromise between multiple agencies that would produce the best value for the project as well as the soldiers it would serve.
