Anchored by a 2.6‑million‑square‑foot, 864‑bed hospital, the project reimagines how healthcare facilities can advance clinical excellence, operational efficiency, and long‑term environmental resilience. This session explores how the health system and design partners translated organizational mission, community engagement, and sustainability goals into an integrated, future‑ready campus. Attendees will gain insight into planning strategies that prioritize patient‑ and family‑centered care, flexible clinical platforms, and technology‑enabled workflows. The presentation also highlights sustainability drivers including: LEED v4 Silver, SITES v2, EnergyStar 75, and ASHRAE 189.3 and how they shaped design decisions for the hospital, Central Utility Plant, and South Support Building. Through the lens of an owner–designer partnership, speakers will share lessons learned on navigating complexities of scale, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and aligning design with long‑range operational realities. Participants will leave with actionable strategies for applying integrated planning, sustainability frameworks, and mission‑driven decision‑making to large healthcare projects, as well as insights directly transferable to projects of all sizes.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
