A two-story open lobby with floor-to-ceiling windows allows for natural daylight.
The Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center building in Houston comprises a vertical expansion and renovation to house the relocated Mental Health Clinic Trauma Recovery Program, the Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom Therapy Programs, and the Telemedicine Psychotherapy Program.
The project includes renovation of the first floor, with the new clinic to be located on the second floor. Ancillary and support services are strategically located throughout the clinic. The design will be compatible with the existing architecture on campus and will include materials such as tilt-up or pre-cast concrete panels along with abundant glass to maximize natural daylight to the interior spaces.
