Description
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) will be opening its 150-bed Building for the Third Century (B3C) in mid-2011. Throughout the construction process, MGH has faced challenges from design changes caused by new technological advancements. By implementing innovative design and process methods, the B3C team has been able to accommodate these changes with minimal impact on the schedule. This session will enable you to-
• Identify and discuss the technology-related challenges the B3C design team encountered and how these were overcome to bring the project in on-time and within budget.
• Develop tools, based on the case study, that a project team can use to monitor the impact of technological design changes on project delivery.
• Identify the types of new technologies, as illustrated in the case study, that are likely to change rapidly and may require project teams to develop flexible design solutions that are adaptable to change.
• Explain the design considerations, based on the case study, in terms of new technologies and their effect on structural design and patient movement that a project team should be prepared to address.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
- Develop understanding of schedule demands of new technologies and impacts on major project delivery
- Learn about facility impacts of new technologies and creative design solutions that allow use of state of the art technologies that maximize patient safety, outcomes and operational efficiencies
- Learn how collaboration among owner, designer and contractor on change management processes can allow for major changes during construction
- See first-hand how BIM can enhance flexibility and facilitate change management
