APPLICABLE CONDITIONS This project will directly address future workload and space gaps at the Tuscaloosa VAMC along with various adjacency deficiencies. It is a key step to the facility's master plan in a multi-phased approach to address all future space, workload, and functional gaps. Along with these identified workload gaps, the facility has an associated space gaps. This project will close the space gap by approximately 21,600 square feet, providing the necessary space for resources to meet 100% of the projected workload/utilization increase of Primary Care, and the other identified services in FY2020. Currently Primary Care services are located in Building 38, however, Audiology and Optometry are located in Building 1 creating poor adjacencies for collaborations between clinics, and causing unnecessary travel by veterans between buildings. This project will ensure that a functional layout is implemented to allow the Primary Care Teams to operate efficiently in compliance with PACT model. By expanding Building 38, TVAMC will co-locate all of these collaborating services within a single building providing much improved patient flow. Subsequently, the vacant space within Building 1 will be utilized in future projects. This will ultimately increase veteran and employee satisfaction and improve efficiencies for all medical center operations.
