Your Price : $59.00

While many projects start with a clean sheet of paper, most healthcare project designers have to deal with existing campus concerns. In this one-hour program, C. Richard Hall will walk you through the process that led to the revitalization of the Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Mich. Program participants will walk through the checklist and strategy processes and see how those worked through to the final project. Revitalizing the 1950s Hospital Campus discusses the challenges in dealing with an old facility that needs to have the latest thinking and technology in healthcare applied to a facility that was designed long before today's innovations were even in the imagination phase. This case-study approach will prepare participants to do the following:
  1. Map out a strategy for revitalizing an existing healthcare facility campus.
  2. Develop checklists to avoid problems at every stage of the design/build process.
  3. Understand the potential pitfalls in dealing with old construction materials, designs and the inevitable surprises.
  4. Describe how a 1950s facility can incorporate the latest healthcare technologies.
