EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — The El Paso VA Health Care System, in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Clark Construction Group, and SmithGroup+HKS, celebrated a significant milestone on Nov. 13 with a topping-off ceremony for the new El Paso VA Health Care Center.
This event marked the completion of the structural framework as the final beam was placed on the building.
The state-of-the-art, energy-efficient facility, spanning 492,995 square feet, is designed to enhance outpatient services for over 54,000 veterans.
It will offer primary care, mental health, specialty care, ambulatory surgery, and ancillary services.
Scheduled for completion in August 2029, the center is strategically located on a 36-acre site at Fort Bliss, Texas, near the newly relocated William Beaumont Army Medical Center.
The project includes extensive site work, primary utilities, a central energy plant, access roads, surface parking, stormwater management, site lighting, landscaping, and other necessary improvements.
