The Planate Management Group Planning Team organized several work sessions as part of an ongoing effort to provide Capital Asset Inventory (CAI) space planning for the VA Western Colorado Health Care System and Grand Junction VA Medical Center (GJVAMC). These sessions were held with nearly 100 medical service line representatives in Grand Junction, CO during the week of 8-12 July 2019. Mark Moszak, AICP, Director of Planning for Planate, is seen here facilitating one of several workshops held at Colorado Mesa University. Each medical service was asked to validate their current use of space and produce patient throughput and functional relationship diagrams to better understand their space needs and additional requirements. The full effort will support future facility programming and master planning by providing an established baseline of new computerized floor plans for all buildings on campus along with a set of calculated long-range VHA criteria worksheets for each medical service. In addition to ongoing planning, Planate is also providing on-site project development and construction management support to the GJVAMC Engineering Department.
