EXCLUSIVE: Behind the Scenes at the New Fort Belvoir Community Hospital Part 3

The project has attracted interest from engineers and architects from across the globe.

The hospital is on schedule to open on August 10. Until now, the only way for the general public to get a look at the progress of the inside of the hospital was the occasional photo from the hospital’s Flickr stream.
