Work is under way at the Brooke Army Medical Center, where a seven-story addition recently topped out.
Slated for a 2011 opening, the project focus now has shifted to exterior walls, plumbing and electrical components. The addition will expand BAMC by approximately 760,000 sq ft, and include a Level 1 trauma center, operating rooms, clinical and administrative space and an extension of BAMC’s burn center.
