JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Oct. 16, 2015) -- New construction of two facilities and renovation work at the Center for the Intrepid are keeping construction workers busy on the BAMC campus and have resulted in the temporary loss of more than 200 patient parking spaces.
A new shuttle bus is delivering staff from the parking garage to free up more spaces for patients’ convenience, allowing them to park closer to San Antonio Military Medical Center for their appointments.
In Parking Lot D, construction began in September on a new fire station. The new facility will serve to protect the patients and staff of the BAMC Campus and will be operated by the 502nd Civil Engineering Squadron Emergency Services.
The fire station will be about 13,000 square feet and is expected to be completed next September.
Also under construction just outside SAMMC’s Main Entrance is a Hyperbaric Facility Addition, which is also about 13,000 square feet. Construction is expected to be completed next July.
Hyperbaric Medicine provides treatment for wound care, decompression sickness, arterial gas embolisms, carbon monoxide poisoning and provides the only active duty hyperbaric fellowship program.
At the Center for the Intrepid, construction of transition space was recently completed, so the fabrication unit could move to temporary quarters while the second floor is renovated for the expanded IDEO operation. Renovation work is expected to be completed next April.
