Description

This case study examines the Start Smart, Design Smart, Build Smart building approach used by the award-winning Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Flower Mound. Established as a cornerstone facility on a new, heavily wooded development site, this hospital was designed to celebrate the cycle of life and connect health care with the environment both inside and out with the goal of creating a place where people can inspire, heal, and grow-and do so on a lean budget. This session will enable you to-
� Apply concepts presented in the Smart Design process case study to achieve cost-effective decision-making for health facility design projects.
� State how the lean design strategies presented can be used to gain efficiency and save costs in project delivery.
� Discuss strategies, as shown in the case study, that can be used to gain support from senior staff for new construction and renovation projects.
� List three strategies used by the project team in the case study to obtain the support of senior staff in the project delivery process.

To learn innovative planning solutions that save square footage
To learn operational/lean design strategies to gain efficiency and save costs
To understand how smart design is about making good decisions, and that it is not about adding more cost
