Designing a VA medical center is not one code, it is a stack of them. PG-18, H-18-8, ASCE 41, NFPA 101, ICRA, USP 797 and 800, each with its own reviewers. Knowing which governs a decision is most of the job.

Several firms tried to fix the cooling at Derby Line. GSA brought in Alares. The answer was not one part: chillers mismatched to load, pumps undersized, piping fighting itself, controls outdated. We redesigned all four.

The buildings are complicated and the clients are veterans. That is not a marketing angle, it is who signs the contract and who uses the building. Alares is an SDVOSB, founded by a former Green Beret officer.

A brand new plant can still run wrong on day one. Commissioning is how you find out before the hospital does. At the Dallas VA, Alares commissioned a new 1,500 ton chiller and six stainless cooling towers.

People ask about the logo, so here it is. A wing, three layers stacked like plan sheets, in three blues from deep to sky. It reads as lift and forward motion. Speed is the promise. Quality is the standard.

National cemeteries run out of room, so the VA buys the land next door. Somebody has to look at it first. At Rock Island, part of the 9.7 acres had been a shooting range, so Alares sampled the soil for lead.

Drawings on file rarely match the field, so Alares measures first. At Albany, the boiler plant modeled in 3D Revit before redesign. At Manchester, a camera driven 500 feet through tunnel, not people into a four foot crawl space.

Building 2 at the Brockton VA is an inpatient mental health facility that could not close. Alares phased the MEP and fire protection work so only one or two wards were ever down at a time.

For a hospital plant, the seismic bar is not "do not collapse." It is "keep working." At the East Orange VA, Alares evaluated the existing frame, then designed the seismic retrofit.

A window in a VA hospital has more jobs than a window at home. At the Big Spring VA, Alares was prime architect replacing every window in Building 1: built for brutal Texas sun, patient safety, and federal blast resistance.

Net zero means a campus makes as much energy as it uses over a year. Two levers: use less, make your own. Houston VA: 5 MW of solar over parking. Newington: combined heat and power. Reno: a test well to confirm geothermal.

#NetZero

[Alares Architects and Engineers @AlaresEngineers]

Alares delivered full architecture and engineering for the fire alarm upgrade of 27 buildings at the Bedford VA Medical Center, all inside a live medical campus without disrupting care.

[Alares Architects and Engineers @AlaresEngineers]

Most older buildings waste 15 to 20 percent of the energy they buy, and it is rarely the equipment. It is settings nobody revisited in years. Across 11 VA campuses, we cut that waste without replacing a single chiller or boiler.

At the Asheville VA Medical Center, Alares replaced ~10,000 linear feet of chilled water piping serving the main hospital, floor by floor, with zero unplanned outages and no interruption to patient care.

VA Albany Medical Center's boiler plant dates to the 1940s. As prime designer, Alares replaced three 900 HP steam boilers, keeping a critical campus running throughout. Completed 2026. Full story: https://t.co/x0vNQ9YkHS #MEP #FederalDesign

The COVID-19 pandemic, having 10 to 30 times greater mortality rate than influenza, will require an expansion of isolation treatment spaces within existing hospitals and healthcare clinics were given the substantially increasing patient loads.
