Yet traditional methods—fragmented drawings, notes, and manual reporting—often lead to delays and erode owner confidence in the results. This session demonstrates how a structured, technology-enabled data collection and organization strategy can transform assessments into trusted, decision-ready tools that support long-term planning and operational efficiency. Using a multi-campus healthcare assessment encompassing over 11 million square feet as a case study, we explore how aligning field workflows with owner priorities improves efficiency, consistency, and transparency. Attendees will learn practical strategies for integrating advanced spatial and digital tools to evaluate aging infrastructure, compare facilities, and provide defensible evidence for renovation or reuse. By streamlining reviews and standardized reports, this scalable approach helps clients prioritize investments, mitigate risk, and identify which properties are suitable for clinical use, repurposing, or replacement. The client will share additional insights into the strategic value of this process and how it informed long-range planning efforts across a leading recognized academic medical center and research organization.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
