VIENTIANE, Laos (Nov. 14, 2019) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Pacific Ocean Division has completed phase one and two construction of the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), officially turning over major portions of the $4.9 million dollar medical and educational facility to Lao Ministry of Health leads in a ribbon cutting ceremony today. Pictured is the five-acre multi-purpose campus, which includes five classrooms, two clinical simulation rooms, a lecture hall, five inpatient and six outpatient clinical assessment and intervention areas, as well as a clinical laboratory. The two-story structure in the center is the clinical translational research center and the single-floor building to the right is the teaching administration and café. Phase three will include construction of dormitories, which will be complete later next year. The project includes collaboration with USACE, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), U.S. Agency for International Development, the Oregon Health and Science University, as well as with the Lao Ministry of Health, who maintains operation and maintenance of the facility. This is the largest Humanitarian Assistance construction joint effort funded by U.S. INDOPACOM. (courtesy photo)
