VA Omaha: Construct Physical Therapy and Prosthetics Building

Apogee was tasked with the design-build new construction of a 28,608 SF Physical Therapy and Prosthetics Building. Apogee served as AE designer of record as a subcontractor to the general contractor and provided full AE design to construct single-story concrete and steel structure with the capability of being expanded vertically. The initial building will provide clinical and support spaces for PMRS and Prosthetics service lines.

This project is the design-build new construction of a 28,608 SF Physical Therapy and Prosthetics Building. Apogee served as AE designer of record as a subcontractor to the general contractor and provided full AE design to construct single-story concrete and steel structure with the capability of being expanded vertically. The initial building will provide clinical and support spaces for PMRS and Prosthetics service lines. The future upper floor will hold whole health program.

With the Ambulatory Care Center next door, the design team took into consideration the existing facade and similar materials were incorporated in exterior architectural designs for seamless integration onto the campus. To physically integrate the two buildings, a half flight of stairs was added to tranverse the grade changes between sites.

The project includes a new service drive south of the new building and a new 4-ft dock for delivery truck accommodations. A new sidewalk is included around the perimeter and employees will enjoy an outdoor patio at the southwestern portion of the building. Landscape design reflects seasonal interest, provides areas of respite, and uses hardy or naturalized plants to create a foundation planting to visually anchor the building while considering visibility and site security.

Interior designers created optimal spacing for PT equipment and prosthetic production. Interiors chose lights, paints and furnishings throughout the new facility.

Engineering design encompassed all new building systems—Fire Protection, HVAC, plumbing, electrical power, lighting, and telecommunications infrastructure.
