[@Amerpatriot]

I am a ironworker on this job we have 3 cranes swinging 6 days a week I love busking big Buildings it’s a lot of steel people don’t realize how much work and dedication gos into this .. nice to see a virtual tour of it . I travel from from Virginia to build this project and it’s nice to know your doing it for the vets

[@jamesboneck2873]

where's the parking?

[@allamseniorcare]

Will there be increased parking spaces? Yes! The number of parking spaces will increase from 1,650 to 2,600.

Looks like a lot of walking for elderly & disabled veterans

[@bookertee3057]

The hospital is only as good as the people working there. Will they be there to actually serve the veterans? Are they there only to draw a paycheck?

[@mikebonnett9916]

Looking at Robley Rex vs this whatever it is I see the bed count is actually going down. Robley Rex opened in 1952 with 494 beds and in later years went down to 133. This new site with the ageing old vet population and the increasing numbers thanks to the Middle East wars and likelihood of a Ukraine war is only going to have 104 beds?

[@towstr]

104 beds? That doesn't seem enough.

[@mikebonnett9916]

It is less than the current hospital, Robley Rex.

[@orogenicman]

840 million dollars for 104 beds? That is more than 8 million dollars per bed. No wonder healthcare in this country is unaffordable.

[@denisehawkins6595]

It's not just for in patient care. They have doctors offices and testing centers in there also.

[@mikebonnett9916]

Looks like it is being planned for something other than a hospital...Too much walking, too much open areas, security machines and vendor stalls that have no place in a VA hospital, not one look at an actual office and its size vs the old hospital sitting on the very desirable real estate on Zorn.... All of this new hospital is in a flood plain....How did that get overlooked? I will bet with a year of opening other activities outside normal VA hospital business will start being hosted after the first flood and the hospital has to move again leaving this really nice commercial building and site for someone else...
