Building 10 is a complex of buildings on the Bethesda campus that includes the new Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center, the world's largest clinical research hospital. The original structure in the Complex was opened in 1955. Active projects in the facility include:
Vaccine Evaluation Clinic and Special Clinical Studies Unit (VEC-SCSU)
(VEC-SCSU) is a project renovating 9,000 SQ.FT on the 5th floor of the existing Clinical Research Center for use as Vaccine Evaluation Clinic and Special Clinical Studies Unit. Upon completion the VEC will be the home of the VRC’s clinical vaccine testing clinic within the CRC as well as become available to other ICs with active or future clinical programs involving testing of novel vaccine candidates. The Patient Care unit is to facilitate the efficient inpatient management of adult normal volunteers or patients participating on research protocols.
The Patient Care unit is designed and constructed with Isolation room features; one of the four patient rooms is a single bed with anteroom, clean equipment room and other ancillary support rooms. The other three Patient rooms have similar Isolation room characteristics as the single patient room, however without an anteroom, and they are double bed Patient Rooms. These enhanced patient isolation room would be used in the event a patient or NIH researcher is exposed to a highly infectious disease agent.
Status: VEC portion is 100% completed and will open in December 2008.
SCSU is at 75% complete and construction will be complete January 2009
Schedule: Start April 2006; complete; January 2009
Institutes: NIAID
IC Space Trade Renovations and Relocations (STRR)
The Building 10 STRR program involves the relocations of approximately 150,000 square feet of laboratory and office space. The purpose of the relocations is to improve IC adjacencies and efficiencies for essential research requirements following occupancy of the new Clinical Research Center (CRC). The STRR project will also vacate the old Building 10 patient care units to allow NIH to stop using unnecessary utilities, particularly water systems.
Status: Each of the tasks is at 35% design. Construction will begin on approval of 100% conceptual design.
Schedule: Start September 2005; complete late 2007
Institutes: Multiple
Transition Program
The Building 10 Transition Program includes a realignment of patient-related facilities and primary circulation corridors within Building 10 and the Ambulatory Care Research Facility (ACRF) to integrate these areas with the new CRC.
Schedule/Status: The scope of the project was restructured to meet changing programming needs during June - October 2005. A new Request for Contract Action (RFCA) was issued in January 2006.
Institutes: Multiple
Repair Program
The Bulding 10 Repair Program is a multi-year series of projects to repair and replace utilities systems that have exceeded their useful service lives.
Schedule/Status: Initial funds for the program were approved in October 2005; subsequent funding is in doubt at this time.
Institutes: Undefined
Interim Renovation Program
This program is divided into two parts. Phase I provides required infrastructure reconfiguration to support the continuing operation of the ACRF.
Schedule/Status: Project is currently in the concept stage with an estimated construction start date of March 2007 and an estimated completion of September 2008.
Phase II provides for the creation of the multi-use utility system vaults and risers needed for replacing various primary Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing (MEP) equipment in a protected location to allow continuous operation during a future major renovation of the building.
Schedule/Status: Estimated .
FY'05 Repair and Improvements Program
This program is a miscellaneous grouping of smaller and primarily mechanical projects for the Building 10 segment of the overall campus repair and improvement (R&I) program.
Schedule/Status: Construction is estimated to begin in March 2006.
Student Faculty Academic Center (SFAC)
This project will consolidate services provided by the Foundation for Advanced Education in the Sciences (FAES) into a single Center (26,000 gross square feet).
Status: Planning and design will be initiated in March 2006.
