West Haven VAMC Inpatient Pharmacy

Modern, Resilient Pharmacy for West Haven Veterans

The former pharmacy at the West Haven Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) faced severe space and system deficiencies, falling short of both U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) standards and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) requirements. These limitations hindered campus-wide functionality and compromised service delivery. This new $10.3 million pharmacy resolves those challenges with a modern, single-story facility designed to support inpatient services today and accommodate future vertical expansion.

IntegralRSG and Meyer Borgman Johnson (MBJ) guided the project from design through execution—supporting the Architect and Engineer of Record in developing final Construction Documents and specifications that complied with stringent federal healthcare and security standards. Our team integrated advanced building hardening measures to mitigate credible explosive and other threat scenarios, following the VA Physical Security & Resilience Design Manual.

Leveraging sophisticated 3D modeling of the healthcare campus, we evaluated existing natural shielding conditions and optimized enclosure design. The result is a pharmacy that combines functional efficiency with protective resilience, ensuring Veterans receive care in a facility that is safe and built to endure.
