Summary
AI-generated · Aug 23, 2025Construct a new women’s health clinic by adding a second story to Building 30 at the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, about 16,350 square feet of new construction above an operating first-floor clinical space. Demolition includes removed roofing and reconfiguration work, with a new building shell and interior build-out on the second floor, plus required vertical and horizontal adjacencies and a dedicated private entrance with controlled access. Interiors use drywall with paint, acoustical tile and gypsum ceilings, and tile flooring (no carpet). The project also extends all building services—HVAC, domestic water, sewer, electrical, data, and medical gases—and requires phasing and relocation of some first-floor services while the first floor remains in operation. The work will occupy the second floor and will span roughly 708 calendar days.
