Project Brief
ESA was selected to design multiple photovoltaic power-generating systems for the Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida.
This project installed two carports, one conventional rooftop, and one parking garage canopy to the existing infrastructure at the medical center. The construction of this project was managed with careful consideration to accommodate the operations of the facility.
Much of the work was completed on weekends and beyond conventional scheduling to meet project deadlines and to allow the medical center to remain fully operational.
This project utilized a unique design that featured a hybrid rooftop system consisting of a ballasted racking system with manufacturer-approved attachments.
