Updating outdated military healthcare facilities

The healthcare facility at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base is undergoing a $60-million makeover


The healthcare facility at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, just outside Goldsboro, N.C., is undergoing a $60-million makeover, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.

The military has a two-tiered system of medical clinics and hospitals. Almost every post has an outpatient medical clinic to handle routine primary care. Some bases also have specialty hospitals.

Military healthcare facilities are expected to have efficient, flexible interiors that incorporate the latest thinking in evidence-based medicine. They are expected to be sustainable as well, with a stated goal of being at least LEED Silver, relying on high-efficiency systems and green features such as vegetated roofs, as is the case at Seymour Johnson, or rainwater capture and reuse, the article said.

The second goal is to better meet the mission of the military. That means including specific military spaces to address the unique needs of the military in keeping its personnel physically fit and mentally ready for battle.
