ADVON is proud to lead the Specialty Treatment Expansion at the James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital in Tampa, Florida. As a flagship facility that opened in 1972, this hospital is a center of excellence—notably the only VA facility in the country to hold 11 rehabilitation programs accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

This mission-critical expansion directly supports the hospital’s specialized care units, including cardiology, spinal cord injury treatment, and comprehensive mental health services.

Advanced Medical Facility Expansion: The project features a 14,436 SF, two-story addition engineered to house high-acuity specialty treatment environments. This new wing is purpose-built to advance the hospital’s wound care and surgical capabilities, incorporating:

• Surgical Suites: Two state-of-the-art specialty surgical procedure rooms and two minor procedure rooms.
• Specialized Clinical Space: Two dedicated wound care rooms designed for complex treatment protocols.
• Patient Care Continuum: Integrated recovery suites, follow-up consultation rooms, and modern medical administrative offices.

Technical Scope & Site Modernization: The expansion required a sophisticated “ground-up” approach within a high-traffic medical campus, involving:

• Environmental Remediation: Precise demolition of existing structures paired with the rigorous abatement of hazardous materials to ensure a safe construction site.
• Life Safety & Infrastructure: Comprehensive installation of new fire protection, high-grade medical plumbing, and advanced HVAC systems designed for sterile environments.
• Electrical & Data Integration: Robust electrical power distribution and cutting-edge telecommunications systems to support modern medical imaging and electronic health records.
• Architectural Integration: Seamlessly blending the new two-story structure with the existing hospital aesthetic while meeting modern building codes and healthcare standards.
