In 2020, MHTN architect (Salt Lake City), an architecture and design company, and University of Utah Health (Salt Lake City) Completed the South Jordan VA Clinic for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in South Jordan, Utah. This 30,000-square-foot facility expands the services currently provided in West Valley City, Utah to Southern Jordan, allowing the new clinic to serve another 4,000 veterans.

In order to increase the chances of getting nursing care, the clinic has dozens of examination rooms and spaces designed for family practice, women’s health, telemedicine, audiology, mental health, etc. These services have been optimized around VA’s Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT) model, which is designed to encourage a more collaborative and transparent healthcare experience. Supporting this model, the layout and design address the patient care experience by focusing on efficient access, intuitive wayfinding, privacy features, and ample work space.

The facility offers an open and modern aesthetic, with light spaces, clean lines and durable finishes. Healthcare providers enjoy the benefits of easy circulation of examination rooms, open office spaces for teamwork, and rest areas full of natural light and floor-to-ceiling windows.
