The VA Caribbean Healthcare System, formerly known as the San Juan Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Veterans Hospital) recently held a “Ribbon Cutting Ceremony” for the new South Bed Tower at the San Juan VA Medical Center.
The new facility is a state-of-the-art, seismically correct, six-story bed tower on site to house 305 acute care beds in the existing main building dating from 1969. The tower, a stand-alone structure, is 225,585 square-feet housing a state-of-the-art utility system, including “smart” system sensors and controls, fire protection and life safety devices, 100 percent emergency power, energy efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning and lighting systems.
The project involves application of sustainability through the use of the new Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). The new structure, located at the southern end of the property, addresses issues such as seismic/structural corrections, privacy and female veterans’ needs, as well as the most up-to-date structural, engineering and medical technologies.
