When the Southeast Georgia Health System decided they wanted to expand their healthcare services for the steadily growing veterans community, and the two hospitals they operate in Brunswick and St. Marys, GA., they decided they needed to go modular.

Their need was immediate. Many veterans were living within the Southeast Georgia area who needed medical attention and care close to their homes. The Veterans Administration knew they had only a short amount of time to complete the project before the start of a new fiscal year on October 1, so funding was of utmost importance for backing the project and creating a fully operating clinic by the end of September.

MedBuild, the medical division of Modular Space Corporation, stepped in to partner with the Veterans Administration and provide a VA clinic that would exceed the needs of veterans living in these areas.

Working with the Southeast Georgia Health System and their general contractor, the site was prepared for MedBuild to create the time-sensitive modular solution. The final product was a 7,000-square-foot medical office building situated next to the Camden Campus of the Southeast Georgia Health System.

The entire project was complete in 82 days, and includes patient examining rooms, a waiting area, office space, and lab space. The design also included a hardipanel exterior to match the design of the existing Camden Campus facility. The facility also includes vinyl composition tile flooring to reduce cost, and features such as upgraded door hardware and sound insulation-all typical features of standard medical office buildings.

The facility opened on September 23, 2008, and began seeing patients the very next day. The new clinic will serve the needs of the area's veterans for the next few years, while a permanent VA facility is constructed.
