LONG TERM SPINAL CORD INJURY 549-820B

Background
The Long Term Spinal Cord Injury (LTSCI) Building project is to be constructed at the Dallas Campus of the VA North Texas Health Care System. The project aims to address issues of comfort and accessibility for Veterans with SCI needs by providing a full range of services in one location, ensuring a continuum of care for patients across all VA services, including SCI.

Work Details
The project includes the construction of a new 30 bed LTSCI facility adjacent to and attached with an existing acute Spinal Cord Facility (Building 74) by a new multi-story lobby with at-grade entries on level 1 and level B1. The LTSCI includes a new Outpatient Clinic and a Urodynamic suite at level B1. The LTSCI is divided into 5 pods. Level B1 includes above grade growth space for 30 future residents.
Level 1 includes provision for 30 above grade resident bedrooms.
Level 2 includes provision for administrative support areas, offices, interior therapy spaces, and a roof garden area for use by the residents.
At level 3, there is a mechanical penthouse. The project also involves renovation of a portion of the existing Acute Care SCI Building 74 near where the new LTSCI will connect to the existing building. Additionally, the contractor must provide an approximate 7400-sq. ft trailer including all utilities and detailed accommodations for swing space provisions during construction.
