This session examines a fast-track, multi-team, multi-phased project that integrated a large academic teaching hospital with a suburban community hospital on a single operational campus. The presentation explores how overlapping design and construction phases, multiple consultant teams, and diverse clinical stakeholders were coordinated to maintain continuous operations while advancing major facility upgrades and service expansion. Attendees will gain insight into planning strategies that supported patient safety and staff efficiency, phased construction approaches that minimized disruption, and decision-making frameworks aligning academic, clinical, and community care models. Through real-world examples, the session highlights best practices for managing complexity, mitigating risk, and fostering collaboration, offering practical takeaways for architects, planners, and owners navigating fast-track delivery in active healthcare environments.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
