Situated on 48 acres, the four-story clinic will include a healing garden and veterans memorial, among other greenspace amenities, that surround the building and create a distinct character to each quadrant. These greenspaces set the building in a more natural, therapeutic environment that engages visitors upon their arrival and throughout their visit. The clinic’s scale is unprecedented in the community. To mediate this scale with the small-town character of the Fredericksburg community, the building massing is conceived as a series of volumes that divides the facility into quadrants. These quadrants serve different roles for the facility (main public entrance and memorial garden, healing garden, staff entry and amenity space, and service).
This new 470,000+ sq. ft. health care center will replace the existing three smaller Fredericksburg area clinics and provide Veterans of the Fredericksburg and northern Virginia area with high-quality health care services. While this is not a hospital by definition (no inpatient services or emergency room), it will house many of the same great outpatient services offered at the main hospital in Richmond, Virginia
