Fort Sam Houston Medical Education & Training Campus

Under the BRAC directive, the DoD is streamlining its portfolio of installations to optimize their value, significantly reduce cost of ownership, and facilitate transformation, common operations, and shared business functions. BRAC combined with significant military construction (MILCON) projects created a more than $3 billion surge in construction of over 180 projects including 78 major facilities at four military installations in the San Antonio area.

The Medical Education and Training Campus (METC) subprogram is being constructed on Fort Sam Houston to consolidate medical training programs for enlisted personnel from all branches of the U.S. military. The campus will encompass 1.9 million square-feet of facilities and will serve an average daily enrollment of 9,000 students. The campus will cost approximately $500 million and includes five medical instructional facilities, two field training facilities, three 1,200-person dormitories, a central energy plant, administrative building, 80,000 square-foot dining hall, and a fitness center.

The USACE hired MOCA Systems as a part of the Parsons Contractor Team to provide program, project, and construction management to coordinate and support to the entire BRAC & MILCON program as well as the SAMMC subprogram.
