New trauma tower at BAMC (SAMMC-N)
Aerial view of new SAMMC-N - will create one of the DoD’s largest
inpatient facilities and its largest ambulatory clinic. The existing facility will be expanded by 50% to include a multistory addition that will house a Level 1 trauma center, operating rooms, clinical and administrative space—and an extension of its internationally respected burn center. A 5,000-space parking garage will also be built, and 288,000 ft2 of existing facilities will be renovated.
rebar at Joint Center of Excellence for Battlefield Health and Trauma (my new workplace in 10 months) There will be over 1500 personnel moving here from Navy, Army, AirForce; uniformed and civilian, from Great Lakes to Maryland and working in this building alone, to begin arriving in Feb. of 2010. This is an extensinon of ISR facilities, currently between the southwest portion of the BAMC and the CFI and Fisher House.
Sky view of METC Campus; dorms on right side, METC 3 & 4 in center, METC 1 & 2 and DiFac on left side. METC will consolidate medical training programs for enlisted personnel from all branches of the U.S. military. The campus will be 1.9 million ft2 of facilities, and it will serve an average daily enrollment of 9,000 students.
This will be the size of a small college, the only difference is, these students get paid on the 15th and EOM. 9,000 daily enrollment, 2500 cadre, command and support personnel for the METC portion alone. I think it'll be a nice addition to SA's economy.
