A phased healthcare facility renovation needs to be precisely timed because the work site is connected to the rest of the building’s systems, according to a Healthcare Design article. The process is more complicated than simply gutting a building, because phasing requires meticulous timing by an entire team of professionals. For the Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London, Conn., the renovation of a 12,000-square-foot unit and an addition of 4,500 square feet onto the roof of an adjacent ambulatory care facility, the project needed buy-in from the staffers who would keep the unit operating.
These include plans to begin demolition of current structure and hospital site preparation in 2026 and open the outpatient center and ambulatory surgery center in 2027.
