VA Outpatient Clinic - Biotech Park - Plantation Street - Worcester, MA VA Outpatient Clinic - Biotech Park - Plantation Street - Worcester, MA

Worcester, MA JM Coull (JMC), along with TRO JB Architects, has completed work on the Veterans Administration (VA) Outpatient Clinic, located at Biotech Park on Plantation St. Owned by Worcester Campus Services, the property is adjacent to and shares services with the UMass Medical School campus. The two-stage project was a design-build fit-up for the new 13,000 s/f clinic.

The new VA clinic is located on the third floor of Biotech 4 and offers audiology, podiatry, and optometry services to patients. The audiology suite includes three sound booths, which required extensive coordination with all trades.

The design-build project comprises all interior finishes and new MEP systems, including plumbing, fire protection, HVAC, electrical, lighting, emergency call systems, security, and IT. A new 10 foot x 30 foot pedestrian canopy was also constructed at the main entrance.

“We’re proud to have worked with Worcester Campus Services and UMass Medical on this project,” said project manager Jami Anderson. “This is the first VA clinic JMC has done, and constructing a facility where veterans can receive the care and services they deserve is very gratifying. We have several veterans at JMC, so this project has been particularly meaningful for us.”

Massachusetts taxpayers dodged a bullet when the state Senate didn’t take up legislation passed by the House in the waning moments of the legislative session that would have made it easier for municipalities and state agencies to use union-only project labor agreements (PLAs) on construction projects.
