The University of Washington Medicine’s Harborview Medical Center constructed a highly technical hybrid bi-plane operating room in an existing operating room, according to an article on the Daily Journal of Commerce website.
Every wall, ceiling and floor of a medical facility is packed with programming — ductwork, conduit, lighting, medical gases, monitors, booms, storage, and structure.
Adding more programming to an existing room is a highly complex orchestration that requires the design-build team to find solutions on a tight schedule and with minimal impact to hospital operations.
Design-build delivery provided early collaboration, teamwork, efficiency and speed to limit impact to a busy operating floor.
