NYC Health + Hospitals is building a new ambulatory care facility in Staten Island, N.Y., with modular construction, according to an article on the Healthcare Construction + Operations website.
The building is a modular/pre-fab construction project, which will significantly reduce construction waste management.
In addition to reducing construction waste, this modularly-constructed building will cut the project time in half, according to MJCL Architect Vincent Catanzaro, principal architect on the project.
The building is aiming to be LEED-Silver certified. Some design features that will contribute to reaching that goal are water-efficient landscaping, water-use reduction, the use of low-emitting materials and recycled materials.
