This project is to Relocate Physical Medicine Rehabilitation to the 4th floor of Building 1 at Harry S. Truman Memorial Veterans Hospital in Columbia, MO. The 4th floor area vacated by the inpatient medical ward, approximately 17,300 SF, will be renovated for relocation of Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, and Prosthetics services currently located on the 2nd floor. This project will have a direct connection to the adjacent, recently designed Pain Management and Rehabilitation department, also located on 4th floor.

The project makes use of the following reference guides and space planning criteria:

This renovation will include full demolition of all existing finishes, gypsum walls down to the exterior studs; removal of all plumbing fixtures and distribution lines; demolition of HVAC distribution back to building vertical chases; demolition of all lighting and power outlets and distribution systems on the floor; and removal of technology systems back to nearest technology closet. New construction will include new walls, doors, finishes and casework; new HVAC upgrades and distribution; electrical power upgrades and distribution; and technology systems revisions. Finish selections will extend and coordinate with finishes of the adjacent Pain Management and Rehabilitation department to provide a cohesive aesthetic, while adhering to facility and VA standards and guidelines for suitability, maintenance and performance requirements. Coordination and provisions for relocated existing and VA-furnished new equipment will be based on survey of existing equipment and product data received for any new equipment.

The designed floor plan was developed through existing space audits by the design team with guidance from the Space Planning Criteria data provided on the VA Technical Information Library website. Review meetings were held with the Contracting Officer Representative and Integrated Project Team to fine tune the design and finalize the construction documents.

Program elements and design features include:

Services to be shared by the entire floor include an expanded clinic check-in, waiting, public restrooms, staff lounge and toilet, and two group clinic rooms separated by a folding partition.

The overall design intent is to turn the 4th floor into a fully functional and cohesive physical medicine rehabilitation ward for the hospital. Wayfinding, patient safety, staff efficiency, flexibility of space for multi-use, and maximizing the utilization of existing infrastructure were among the most important goals of this renovation project. In addition, appropriate planning and life safety considerations were put in place for a guaranteed future flexibility and adaptability of the floor.

Construction phasing was an integral part of the design and must be carried out carefully during the entire length of construction in an effort to keep the entire hospital fully functional specially the recently designed Pain Management and Rehabilitation department on this floor. This requires close coordination between different stakeholders and working after hours and on weekends as graphically shown on phasing sheet.
