The goal of the Intrepid National Armed Forces Rehabilitation Center is to provide military service members who have experienced debilitating injuries with a rehabilitation facility which will return them to their pre-injury level of activity and, if they desire, allow them to resume active duty. 
This facility harnesses state-of-the-art technology to provide military amputees with improved rehabilitation resources through the use of advanced prosthetics, computerized and video monitoring, biomechanical studies and advanced physical training therapy methods. Clinical space houses areas for fitting, testing and adjusting advanced prosthetics and provide areas for research. Space is provided for multi-disciplined research and treatment teams of physicians; orthopedic surgeons, prosthetists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, gait therapists, dieticians, psychologists, social workers, technicians, researchers and administrative support staff.

Syska Hennessy group provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection consulting engineering services for this 50 million dollar facility. Supported entirely by private funds, attention to budget and schedule restrictions was essential. The design of MEP systems had to support high tech rehabilitation equipment and demonstrate flexibility to adapt to evolving medical practices. Additionally, Syska’s design meets both the ADA Accessibility Guidelines and Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection Standards guidelines.
