Project Description

Campos provided MEP design services to renovate an existing portion of the VA hospital into an Emergency Operations Center, which will be used by VA staff exclusively in cases of emergency or future pandemics. This area will be reserved for VA corporate and hospital leadership to make critical decisions about reallocating resources, moving imaging equipment, and other operational-related decisions. 

A key element of the MEP design scope was to design multiple redundancies. Power, data, cooling, telephone, and security systems constantly run, no matter the facility’s state or condition.
