OPTIONAL FACILITY TOUR

Tuesday, Feb. 7, 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC)

Join us as we tour the Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) a 1.3 million square foot hospital with a Central Energy Plant. With the BRAC 2005 legislation, inpatients were required to be relocated from Wilford Hall Medical Center, an Air Force hospital in San Antonio, to BAMC, which was renamed the San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC).

The SAMMC project added a 760,000 square foot tower, an additional utility plant, a 1.6 million square foot parking structure (5000 spaces), and renovated approximately 25% of the existing hospital. SAMMC is the DoD's only Level 1 trauma center (the highest acuity) and has the only rooftop helipad in the DoD.

The tour will showcase both the original and new buildings, including: the rooftop helipad, the interstitial building spaces between the occupied floors, both energy plants (generators, chillers, boilers, water treatment), the utility tunnels, the parking structure, and some of the patient units.  

Complimentary shuttle will be available to and from the Medical Center for attendees. Please meet on the 2nd floor at the registration desk by 11:30 am. The shuttle will be leaving promptly at 12 pm. We will be accepting tour registrations on-site Tuesday, 11:30 am at the registration desk.

Tour Requirements: Please bring your photo ID. All attendees must wear closed-toe shoes and pants.
