Last week, the SME Solutions team gathered in Pensacola, FL, for our annual company retreat to align on our future vision, unveil our new brand identity, and sharpen the tools and processes driving our expanded service offerings. Beyond strategy sessions focused on innovation and long-term growth, team-building activities reinforced collaboration and trust among our people. Driven by that energy and momentum, we are building toward something bigger. Stay tuned for the upcoming launch of our new website reflecting this next chapter. 

This Building 1 renovation project approx. ~75,000 sq. ft restores the historic landmark hospital building’s exterior envelope and rehabs the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors for patient care services. It touches approximately 74,000 building gross square feet of full building renovation. Renovation efforts on floors 3 and 4 create 26 private medical surgical beds with centralized nursing stations to support a Central Monitoring unit and other supporting services such as Kinesiotherapy, Pharmacy, etc. The existing 20-bed Acute Care Inpatient Unit will be relocating from connecting Building 3-4th floor. Renovation of floor 5 includes administrative space to support Medicine Service operations and touch-down space for Acute Care providers, a large facility conference room, and an expanded Dental Clinic (12 operatories) and Dental Laboratory relocating from Building 1-1st Floor. We will perform full IOT&A services.

Veteran Health Indiana was approved for a new outpatient clinic in the vicinity of Lawrence/Northeast Indianapolis. This project is approximately 45,237 net usable square feet. The clinic will allow an expansion to the current footprint as well as added new services. We will provide all outfitting services to include Project Management; Interior Design, FF&E, and Space Planning; CONOPS and Transitioning Planning; Acquisition Planning and Package Development; Warehousing; Activation; Relocation; Training; Post Occupancy Support. The clinic is targeting an opening in early 2028.

This is a bit of a change from our other IOT&A efforts as we are joining the White City Facility Activation team to provide pre-planning support services through approximately the time of the Design-Build RFP issuance. There are two buildings to plan for that require seismic deficiency mitigation. We are excited to be assisting the VA at this earlier point of the planning stage.

We look forward to supporting this new, multi-phased four-year effort in Dallas with our logistics partner VCG Solutions . This includes conducting all the necessary initial outfitting planning, transition, and activation efforts for three phases/projects. One is a 166K SF 30-bed Long Term Spinal Cord Injury facility with future expansion capabilities as well as associated clinical, administrative support spaces. It will be operationally and physically integrated with the existing acute SCI center on the Dallas campus. Another effort is a new ~80K SF two-story warehouse with second floor office space. Then there is the renovation of the existing ~5K SF linen holding area. We will support the three efforts within the contract to ensure they are ready as planned on their targeted first operational dates.

We are honored to now be supporting the VA in California as they open a new CBOC in Stockton. Leading the IOT&A efforts, we will support the opening of this new 158K sq. ft. clinic that will provide a wide range of medical services to Central Valley veterans including primary care, prosthetics, and mental health. The new Stockton CBOC is planned to open in the spring of 2024. And as with all our contracts, we look forward to working closely with the local VA leadership to become part of their activation team.
