GSA awards lease for new VA Community-based Outpatient Clinic in Monroeville
Joint GSA, Veterans Affairs project will bring routine care facility to area veterans
PITTSBURGH, PA — On April 16, 2021, the U.S. General Services Administration awarded a lease for a Department of Veterans Affairs Community-based Outpatient Clinic near the Monroeville Mall on Mall Circle Drive, Monroeville, Pennsylvania. This effort is part of a partnership with VA to deliver six CBOCs across the nation. VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System will staff and operate this clinic.
This new state-of-the-art facility will improve veterans’ access to primary and specialty outpatient services and reduce drive times for many Pittsburgh-area veterans enrolled in VA care. The lease includes 64,000 square feet of space and parking, and it supports VA’s Strategic Capital Investment Planning process.
“I’m very excited with this news – and the location! It will not only reduce the commute time for thousands of veterans in our eastern suburbs but relieve parking congestion for both veterans and staff at our flagship hospital in Oakland,” said Donald Koenig, VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System director. “We look forward to a modern and less crowded clinic where veterans will continue to receive high quality integrated health care.”
“GSA is proud to work with our VA partners on this project, which will benefit veterans and taxpayers,” added Joanna Rosato, Acting Regional Administrator for GSA Mid-Atlantic Region.
Summit Smith Development, a division of C.D. Smith Construction, will be the developer for this lease. Construction is expected to begin in fall 2021, with substantial completion in summer 2023. VA anticipates occupancy and opening to the community in early 2024.
