SUMMARY:E60 &#8211\; The Power of Planning: An Infrastructure-First Approach to Healthcare Design
DESCRIPTION:This session examines how early infrastructure planning at the New Pediatric Campus developed by Children's Health and UT Southwestern\, in Dallas\, TX wasn't an afterthought\, it was the starting point. Elevating infrastructure from a technical detail to a core planning driver\, aligning it with both clinical and organizational priorities to lay the foundation for flexibility\, resiliency\, and operational success for the next 50+ years. Presenters will discuss how this approach impacted utility forecasting (power\, medical gases\, IT)\, integration of future-ready systems like AGVs\, and strategies for resiliency and sustainability. Including planning for advanced imaging\, adaptable ORs and patient rooms\, microgrids\, and site expansion. The team will also discuss key considerations around electrification\, flood mitigation\, and implementing a utility substation Through this case study\, attendees will gain actionable insights into infrastructure planning strategies that support long-term adaptability\, performance\, and readiness in today's rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
