HDR to Design New ROB Medical Center Replacement in Germany

OMAHA, Neb. – HDR has been selected by the German government Landesbetrieb Liegenschafts- und Baubetreuung Weilerbach to design the new Rhine Ordinance Barracks Medical Center Replacement project adjacent to the Ramstein U.S. Air Force Base in Germany. The team will work with the LBB, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and with the U.S. Defense Health Agency to deliver the new military hospital. The medical center is designed to serve U.S. and NATO Allied Forces operating in Europe, Africa and the Middle East and care for wounded service men and women coming from wars in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and the Southwest Asia region.

After a nearly three-year selection process, a team from HDR|TMK’s Dusseldorf, Germany office and HDR’s Washington D.C. office will complete the design and delivery of the state-of-the-art hospital. Work is scheduled to begin immediately and continue over a planned eight-year design and construction delivery period. The project will be produced completely in Building Information Management and will comply with U.S. and German building codes.

The ROB MCR works in concert with Walter Reed Medical Center in the Washington D.C. area, which HDR is also designing. These two medical centers constitute the most politically sensitive assets in the U.S. Department of Defense’s medical facility portfolio.
