Montgomery County Veterans Affairs Clinic

As the veteran population in the United States continues to age, it’s getting harder for them to access key services. For many, making a big trip to the city isn’t an option. They need something close. That’s why the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) created community-based outpatient clinic like this one. Being close ensures people get what they need.

When it takes two years to plan a renovation like this, how can you make sure you have the latest medical tech on opening day? This clinic couldn’t decide which devices to use until just a few months before the ribbon cutting. That was one of the reasons the VA used DIRTT. Modularity gave them flexibility. When technology evolves, like it always does, making last-minute changes to an office or patient area doesn’t require a tear down. Replace a few wall panels and you can stay current without adding time to the schedule.

There was another reason the VA chose DIRTT. It looks good. The design incorporates photos taken by local veterans, and custom graphic glass panels elegantly showcase the work. These easy-to-clean surfaces not only elevate the aesthetic of the space, they keep the focus of the building on the people who use it most.
