SERVICE & SHELTER | CMT’s Role in the New Boise Veterans Home Project

In the heart of Boise, Idaho, a long-anticipated project is taking shape — a new veterans home built to serve and honor those who have served our country. Designed for comfort and care, this state-of-the-art facility will offer long-term services for veterans and their families across the Treasure Valley. With a federal waiver now approved, construction is officially underway.

Project Overview

The Boise Veterans Home project involves building a 122-bed skilled nursing facility. Designed with small, household-style wings, the layout promotes comfort, dignity, and a sense of home. Unlike traditional institutional buildings, this facility will reflect community-style living.

The home sits on the grounds of the former Boise VA Medical Center. Its design supports the emotional, physical, and social well-being of Idaho veterans. This project responds to the growing need for veteran care in the state.

CMT’s Materials Testing and Special Inspection Services

CMT Technical Services is proud to support the Boise Veterans Home with expert materials testing and special inspection services. Our contributions include:

Soils Evaluation

We conducted detailed geotechnical assessments and subsurface investigations to ensure the site’s stability for long-term use.

Concrete Testing

On-site and lab testing confirmed the strength, durability, and compliance of concrete used in all structural elements.

Steel Inspection & Weld Testing

Our inspectors verified the integrity of all structural steel and weld joints to meet seismic and service load requirements.

Asphalt & Utility Testing

We provided quality oversight on paving materials and utility corridors to support reliable infrastructure.

These services help maintain high construction standards in compliance with VA guidelines and Idaho building codes.

Working Together for Excellence

This project reflects strong collaboration between CMT, the Idaho Division of Veterans Services, and expert design-build teams. Our role in materials testing at the Boise Veterans Home ensures all construction meets both state and federal standards.

Future Impact for Idaho’s Veterans

Once complete, the new Boise Veterans Home will reduce wait times and enhance quality of life for residents. With modern amenities and thoughtful design, it will serve as a model for veteran care in Idaho.

Conclusion

CMT is honored to contribute to a facility that stands as a symbol of care and gratitude. Through expert inspection and testing services, we help ensure that every part of the project is built to last — with precision, pride, and purpose.
