BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Construction and Facilities Management (CFM) is establishing a National Center for Warrior Independence (NCWI) located at the West Los Angeles VAMC campus in Los Angeles, CA. The purpose of the NCWI is to restore the West LA campus to a thriving, veteran-centered community that promotes recovery, independence, and dignity. The Center will provide a national model addressing veteran homelessness by offering increased opportunities for Veteran housing and comprehensive services rooted in clinical excellence, trauma-informed care, and community reintegration.

Seed Project/Task Order-The VA has identified several potential Design Build construction projects of varying scopes, complexities, and magnitudes necessary to complete the NCWI. The initial construction project (seed project) is the renovation to Bldg. 13 and 306 on the West Los Angeles VAMC campus. This project is the renovation of two buildings of approximately 50k sq ft combined, currently identified as contributing to the historic district. The goal is to transform the facility into the Veterans Independence Center which informs and provides ease of access to all VA Veteran benefits and services, inspires Veteran personal wellness and professional development, and provides meeting spaces and food options to the entire Los Angeles Veteran community to gather.

The building will be reimagined as a vibrant, service-oriented space that honors its historical significance. Special attention will be given to preserving and highlighting original architectural features, such as the exterior façade. Unique features of the facility include narrow staircases, glazed block interior walls, equipment elevators, and two large exhaust hoods from a former kitchen. Exterior docks and other industrial elements are to be integrated or repurposed to support the building’s new function while respecting its role within the historic district.
