To Our James H. Quillen VA Medical Center Veterans, Families, and Visitors,

✨Please be advised that the second-floor skybridge connecting the parking garage to Building 160 will be temporarily closed for a glass panel installation project. The closure will begin on December 1, 2025, at 12:00 a.m. and is expected to continue through Monday, December 29, 2025, at 6:00 a.m.

During this period, the parking garage will remain open; however, pedestrian access across the skybridge will not be permitted. The entrance to Building 160 will be available on the ground floor and may be accessed via the elevator. We ask that all individuals follow posted signs, respect all safety barriers, and comply with instructions from designated safety personnel.🚧👷‍♂️

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete these improvements to enhance the skybridge for safer and more comfortable year-round use.❄️
