RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION TREATMENT PROGRAM (RRTP) BACKGROUND “The United States has the most comprehensive system of assistance for Veterans of any nation in the world, with roots that can be traced back to 1636.”1 The U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) has essentially been around since the Civil War, but was firmly established after World War II when “there was a vast increase in the Veteran population, and congress enacted large numbers of new benefits for war Veterans.” There are currently three administrations within the VA: the National Cemetery Administration, the Veterans Benefits Administration, and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). “Today’s VHA--the largest of the three administrations that comprise VA--continues to meet Veterans’ changing medical, surgical and quality-of-life needs. New programs provide treatment for traumatic brain injuries, posttraumatic stress, suicide prevention, women Veterans and more. VA has opened outpatient clinics, and established telemedicine and other services to accommodate a diverse Veteran population, and continues to cultivate ongoing medical research and innovation to improve the lives of America’s patriots. VHA operates one of the largest health care systems in the world and provides training for a majority of America’s medical, nursing and allied health professionals. Roughly 60 percent of all medical residents obtain a portion of their training at VA hospitals; and VA medical research programs benefit society at-large. The VA health care system has grown from 54 hospitals in 1930, to include 152 hospitals, 800 community-based outpatient clinics, 126 nursing home care units and 35 domiciliaries.”2 “The Perry Point Veterans Affairs Medical Center provides a broad range of inpatient, outpatient and primary care services. As the largest inpatient facility in the VA Maryland Health Care System, the medical center provides inpatient medical, intermediate and longterm care programs, including nursing home care, rehabilitation services, geriatric evaluation and management, respite care, chronic ventilator care and hospice care. The Medical Center is located on a beautiful campus of approximately 400 acres on the banks of the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay where patients can enjoy a variety of recreational activities, including fishing, swimming, bicycling and jogging.” 3 The Perry Point VAMC would like a new 35-bed 24/7 residential rehabilitation treatment program (RRTP) building. The RRTP building will provide inpatient, mental (and physical) health treatment and support space for the patients at the medical center. It will include a community space, medical spaces, outpatient rooms, as well as office and administrative spaces. The building will also include an aquatic pavilion with two swimming pools for aquatic therapy and exercise purposes. Outdoor patios and indoor spaces such as computer and group rooms and multi-purpose rooms will help to provide constructive use of unscheduled time. An outpatient clinic component will also be incorporated into the design. Inside, two patient bedrooms will share a bathroom. Each bathroom must be ADA accessible with a roll-in shower stall. The design must be developed to provide maximum views of the outdoors, courtyards, and bay.

DESIGN SOLUTIONS
According to the 2010 VHA Handbook4 , the following are the mission, goals, and objectives of a RRTP: a. Mission. The RRTP mission is to provide state-of-the-art, high-quality residential rehabilitation and treatment services for Veterans with multiple and severe medical conditions, mental illness, addiction, or psychosocial deficits. The RRTP identifies and addresses goals of rehabilitation, recovery, health maintenance, improved quality of life, and community integration in addition to specific treatment of medical conditions, mental illnesses, addictive disorders, and homelessness. b. Goal. RRTP’s goal is to provide opportunities for Veterans to achieve and maintain their highest level of independent community integration through the provision of residential services designed for improved functional status, sustaining rehabilitation gains, disability management, recovery, and breaking the cycle of recidivism. c. Objectives. Objectives of RRTP are to: 1) Provide residential rehabilitation and treatment services that focus on the Veteran’s strengths, abilities, needs, and preferences rather than on illness and symptoms. 2) Provide residential rehabilitation and treatment services utilizing a therapeutic community based on peer and professional supports in a structured and supervised setting. 3) Provide rehabilitation and treatment services that address medical conditions, mental illness, addiction, and psychosocial deficits. 4) Facilitate the transition to safe, affordable, and appropriate community housing. 5) Assist Veterans in choosing, accessing, and utilizing the community and natural supports needed to be independent, self-supporting, and successful in their individual recovery.” 5
TUNNEL The new RRTP building will be connected to existing Building 364 via a connecting tunnel. The existing Perry Point tunnel system is used for food deliveries from building to building. Protecting these deliveries from the elements (snow, rain, etc.) is crucial to the client. However, the current tunnel system has had several issues regarding leaks (see photo below) due to the high water table of the site. Your research should consider the hydrostatic pressure of the soil and propose ways to improve the current situation

The Perry Point RRTP building should be designed for maximum flexibility. This is necessary “in order to most efficiently meet the rehabilitative needs of a diverse Veteran population.”6 In RRTPs, treatment, rehabilitation, and psychosocial programming may range from relatively short-term care of limited focus, (less than 30 days) to long-term, comprehensive rehabilitation (exceeding 1 year). This project presents an opportunity to create architecture and spaces that help the healing process and wellbeing of the residents. “Some residents will have jobs outside the facility and may be coming and going at different hours. Residents will be working at full-time or part time jobs while living here or undergoing intensive therapy or educational programs. Accommodations should be made for constructive use of unscheduled time. This includes indoor and outdoor recreational areas.”7 Your design should include outdoor patios and gathering areas, maximizing views of the Chesapeake Bay.
AQUATIC THERAPY AND EXERCISE PAVILION In addition to the Mental Health programmatic requirements of the new RRTP building, the Perry Point VA has requested an aquatic therapy and exercise pavilion to help supplement their physical therapy building (23H) and patient needs. Some of the physical therapy patients may be living in the new RRTP building, but most will be brought from other buildings on the Perry Point campus. The pavilion should not be treated as a mere attachment to the RRTP building, but a holistic part of the overall design. Two pools will be required; the therapy pool can be as small as 10’ wide x 15’ long x 4’ deep as long as it has a staired or ramped entry and a lift, while the exercise pool can be 75’ long x 45’ wide with depths ranging from 4’ to 6’. A ramped entry is also a very good idea. Your team must research pool sizes and consider issues like: Unisex assisted caregiver dressing rooms and showers, examining and treatment rooms for the therapist(s) to evaluate patients, land-based exercise equipment for cross training and evaluation purposes.8
SITE The Perry Point VA Medical Center is located in Perry Point, Maryland, roughly one hour north of Baltimore and one and a half hours south of Philadelphia. The medical center sits adjacent to the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay. The site is presently an open meadow with groupings of evergreens to the west and existing vegetation at the shoreline. There are excellent views to the water, meadow and passing wildlife. Visitors and residents arriving at the new building by car or transport will enter the site off of Avenue D where a new protected pedestrian drop off area shall be designed at the building entrance. A fire lane should also be designed to encircle the perimeter of the building connecting to the entry and a service drive. New sidewalks shall be designed to connect the existing sidewalk along Avenue D to the entrance of the proposed building. There is an existing 8” water service and chilled water supply and return loops that run on the north side of Avenue D and services the campus. There is also an existing electric loop that follows the south side of Avenue D. Macro site location map (Google)

TYPICAL PATIENT ROOM The lobby space utilizes a curtain wall system which is the only material that is not neutral. It draws people to the building and allows northern ambient light to filter into the lobby.
The central heart of the building and the administration wing utilizes stone to signify the strong core that unites the residential wing to the medical areas.
To separate the residential wing from the rest of the building, a composite wood siding material was utilized. It creates the comfortable warm feeling of “home” while addressing the moisture issues in this climate.

Trane Trace loads were completed and the results were gathered. The critical information is listed above.
MECHANICAL SYSTEM
This is the amount of airflow that is supplied per square foot. For general office space, it usually ranges around 1.0 cfm/sf. For the above spaces, all of them are under 1.0 cfm/sf. This is because of the minimum outdoor air cfm that needs to be supplied. The other air that is being supplied to the spaces is done so by the recycling of the room air. This is the amount of sf in the building that one-ton of ventilation is responsible for. This numbers seem reasonable, especially for the overall building. This this number between 300 and 400 sf/ton is a good amount to have. The heating load is much lower than the cooling load. The internal loads are higher, resulting in a high cooling load as shown, but a smaller heating load.
Mechanical system being integrated with the rest of the building. The small ductwork supplying only outside air for most of the spaces allows for ceiling integration to be smooth between structural and mechanical systems. BRONISZEWSKI • MOSCO • THOMAS • SCHULOK

The image above shows how the air is transported from the mechanical shaft, to the VAV box assigned to a pair of rooms, and sent into the space. The room is neutral pressure and the negative pressure of the bathroom collects the room air. It is then from the space and travels alongside the supply duct and is dumped outside of the building. Residential and Administration ductwork layouts are represented by and transports outside air to the spaces shown. The minimum amount of outside air is delivered to the space to abide by ASHRAE, with the rest of the cooling to be done by a wall-mounted unit that gathers , passes the air over chilled water coils and then expels it back into the space at the occupant’s desired temperature.

The above image shows the integration of natural ventilation in this area. It is combined with the side registers ventilation to offset the amount of air that must be supplied to the space. The arrows are the cooler, faster air moving through the space and the arrows is the hot air that is leaving the space. The region is a net-positive region and the region is a net-negative region. The net-negative region controls the humidity in the space, forcing the higher temperatures out of the space. A Variable Air Volume system is used for the medical area of this building. It is to easily supply numerous zones that would require the same kind of heating or ventilation treatment. In the enclosed rooms, 24”x24” diffusers are used that are in the ceiling. For the larger spaces being supplied by this air handling unit, side registers are used to throw the air a farther distance. This can be seen in the rendering to the left, where the diffusers are in the wall throwing air out toward the lobby.
