Construction updates

VA Puget Sound is undergoing an unprecedented era of construction and remodeling at the American Lake and Seattle divisions. These changes will improve the quality of our services to veterans but we ask for your patience while these changes are underway.

How does this affect me?

Work being done may cause closures, detours or relocation of services. We will list these activities as frequently as possible to minimize the disruption of your visit.

Updates

Seattle Division

1/26/11: The steel girders are being installed that will become the frame for the new MRI and Patient Library Building at the Seattle Division. This project is located near the skybridge between buildings 1 and 100. Photos of the project can be found here.

1/7/11: The Emergency Room project is moving along as the contractor continues to put the final touches on the exterior finishes.  Once the exterior is complete the contractor can focus solely on the interior of the new building.  Tentative completion date is Spring 2011. Pictures of the project can be found on our Facebook site here.

6/18/10: The main building entrance will be closed in order to safely de-construct and re-construct the new connection from the new Emergency Department building and the existing lobby area.  In order to keep access to the building, the contractor is constructing a temporary entrance between the existing lobby and existing Emergency Department (near the ATM and Espresso Stand). See map for more information. If you have any questions/concerns, please call 206-617-4527.

3/24/10: During the next 10-12 months, traffic coming into the Seattle division will be modified to accomodate construction of our new Emergency Department. Click here for more information.

American Lake Division
