This replacement hospital for the defense health community began with best-in-class project delivery.

Description

Located on 52 acres, the General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital consists of a three-story world-class replacement hospital providing inpatient diagnostic and treatment services and an outpatient clinic. A DoD-VA Healthcare Agreement allows Veterans assigned to Missouri’s five VA hospitals to receive care at the community hospital, which will also serve as a tornado area of refuge.

RLF, as designer of record, collaborated with design-build construction partner JE Dunn to provide two large design deliverables for phased construction, including management, medical facilities master planning, programming and medical equipment planning on a fast-track schedule. The project scope included a five-bay ambulance garage, central utility plant, helipad, generator and associated site work. From cybersecurity and helipad consultants to shielding and acoustical subject matter experts, the project involved complex coordination among multiple specialty disciplines.

Sustainability

The project is designed to comply with the High-Performance Sustainable Building (HPSB) and Guiding Principles.

The primary reason this project is in such good shape is simple - the relationships that exist surrounding this project. Between the Corps, our contractor teammates, the customers, the installation leadership, the garrison command, the defense health community, and other stakeholders - they are about as healthy and productive as any I've ever seen in my career and I'd venture to say that at this point this project is the gold standard for partnering across the Department of Defense - the best in class - the way we wish every project would go.
