THE PROJECT

Project Overview

San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC) in San Antonio, Texas, required a large-scale temporary commercial kitchen to support its Department of Nutritional Medicine during a major facility addition and alteration project. Maintaining dependable foodservice capabilities was essential while construction and improvements to the permanent facilities progressed.

KCI Temporary Kitchens provided a custom 9,000-square-foot temporary commercial kitchen facility consisting of 20 interconnected modular units. Working with general contractor JE Dunn Construction, KCI supplied an extensive temporary foodservice environment designed to accommodate institutional meal production and supporting kitchen operations throughout the construction project.

Challenge

A major foodservice renovation within an active military medical center requires careful planning, substantial production capacity, and coordination across multiple construction disciplines. SAMMC needed a temporary kitchen facility capable of supporting complex institutional foodservice operations while its Department of Nutritional Medicine underwent improvements.

✓ Maintain Essential Foodservice Operations: Provide temporary commercial kitchen capabilities to support the medical center’s institutional meal production requirements during construction.

✓ Accommodate Large-Scale Kitchen Functions: Establish sufficient space for production, preparation, warewashing, and supporting foodservice activities within a temporary facility.

✓ Coordinate a Complex Installation: Address the logistical challenges of delivering and assembling 20 interconnected modular units within an active military healthcare environment.

✓ Support the Construction Schedule: Coordinate the temporary facility deployment with JE Dunn Construction and the broader Department of Nutritional Medicine addition and alteration project.

Solution

KCI Temporary Kitchens supplied a custom-designed, 20-unit temporary commercial kitchen facility totaling approximately 9,000 square feet for SAMMC. The interconnected modular configuration provided a substantial temporary foodservice environment suited to the operational requirements of a large military medical center.

✓ 20-Unit Custom Configuration: Twenty interconnected modular units, each measuring approximately 8.5 feet by 53 feet, created a combined facility of approximately 9,000 square feet.

✓ Integrated Foodservice Layout: The custom facility provided dedicated areas for commercial kitchen production, preparation, and supporting foodservice functions.

✓ Coordinated Project Delivery: KCI worked with JE Dunn Construction to coordinate the temporary facility’s delivery, placement, installation, and startup requirements.

✓ Large-Scale Temporary Infrastructure: The modular facility provided a dedicated commercial kitchen solution to support SAMMC’s Department of Nutritional Medicine during its facility addition and alteration project.
