ModSpace's MedBuild Team Provides 240,000 Louisiana Veterans with New Medical Care Facility

Ribbon-cutting ceremony marks official opening of the new
9,195-square-foot VA St. John Outpatient Clinic
BERWYN, Pa.--(Business Wire)--
MedBuild, the specialized healthcare division of Modular Space
Corporation (ModSpace(R)), recently joined government officials and
local dignitaries in Reserve, Louisiana to celebrate the official
grand opening of the new VA St. John Outpatient Clinic. The
9,195-square-foot clinic employs a staff of 27 and offers primary
care, mental and ancillary medical services to the roughly 200
veterans that visit each week for medical care.

Special guest speakers at the July ribbon-cutting ceremony include
St. John's Parish President, Bill Hubbard; Louisiana State
Representative, Nickie Monica; and Director of the Southeastern
Louisiana Veterans Healthcare System, Julie Catellier. Guests kept
cool in the building with the brand new HVAC system, despite the hot
Louisiana day.

"We are extremely proud of the new VA St. John Outpatient Clinic
we have delivered to the Reserve, Louisiana community," says Jim
Gabriel, Director of Business Development for MedBuild. "This area was
in dire need of a clinic that could meet the needs of the region's
240,000 veterans. By working closely with VA health system, we were
able to deliver a cost-effective modular solution that will stand up
in severe weather and meet the community's needs today and tomorrow."

The old VA clinic was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, leaving the
240,000 area veterans of the VA health system to seek care in
temporary facilities including a local Wal-Mart parking lot, a VFW
hall, and a wing of a veteran's retirement home. These temporary sites
were inadequate replacements for a much needed medical facility.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' Southeast Louisiana
Veterans Healthcare System knew they needed a solution--and they
needed it fast. They turned to MedBuild, who worked closely with them
to design a permanent, multi-functional, modular facility to address
the needs of the area's dense veteran community. Parish officials
jumped on board with the plans and donated five acres to house the new
facility, and MedBuild went to work.

ModSpace drove hundreds of piles 50 feet deep to raise the site
above the flood plain, paved a 78,200-square-foot concrete parking
lot, and installed the 9,195-square-foot clinic. The building is
comprised of 19 permanently assembled modular units, and features nine
exam rooms, three counseling offices, a waiting room, administrative
offices, and training space. The building also includes special design
features for severe weather conditions. With proper planning, MedBuild
and the VA were able to design the building and the site for support
of the community in anticipation of the next severe weather event.
