Advances in diagnostics, biotechnology, and clinical care demand adaptable environments, but projects still default to deck-to-deck drywall assemblies rooted in outdated assumptions. This approach embeds avoidable disruption, downtime, infection-control risk (ICRA 2.0), and predictable obsolescence into patient care spaces. This session explores how healthcare organizations can mitigate these risks by transforming static facilities built using conventional drywall with adaptable, high-performance manufactured interior systems. Presented from owner, acoustician, GC, and prefab expert perspectives, the panel challenges long-held beliefs with real-world outcomes and acoustic data to demonstrate how these systems meet performance requirements while improving speed to market, reducing disruption, and protecting revenue.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
