The Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, VISN 7: VA Southeast Network, Atlanta VA Health Care System, has a requirement for the construction of a 12-bed CLC in Carrolton, GA.

N/A

• The project intent is to add 12 beds to the Trinka Davis Veteran’s Village. These 12 private rooms will have private bathrooms and will have room for co-sleeper space. The rooms will consist of 10 “standard” CLC style rooms and 2 Bariatric rooms capable of patients up to 1000 lbs. This new CLC shall be integrated into the existing facility such that staff, patients, and visitors will be able to share spaces; this will be achieved through proximity to the existing facility, physical connection, and maintaining the unique style and aesthetics of the existing facility.
• This addition to the Trinka Davis Veteran’s Village was also identified as an “end of life” or hospice unit. As such, the spaces will be slightly different than a typical CLC. There will be a commercial kitchen that is not intended to be used by patients; Meals will be prepared by staff and eaten in the Dining Room or a private room. The den is intended to be used for consultation and is to be accessed off the connector to the main facility. There is also a separate ambulance entrance to the addition.
• Finally, the building is to be designed to follow the VA guidelines for sustainability/LEED Silver rating level, although the actual certification is not intended to be pursued.
