With multiple sites totaling over five million square feet of medical and support facilities, renovation is a continuous process at Northwestern Memorial HealthCare.
A registered architect and certified health facilities management professional, Ken has worked provided responsible leadership in the areas of strategic planning, change management, design, project development, operations and maintenance to major institutions and corporate organizations for over three decades. Roles have included senior management within a number of Chicagos
architectural firms with primary responsibility for such programs as Northwestern Memorials Prentice Womens Hospital build-out, Pharmacia/Pfizers Skokie regional headquarters regional consolidation and Advocate Good Shepherd Hospitals Womens and Childrens Birthing Center renovation. He has served as facilities director for Rush-Copley Medical Center during their replacement campus development, and as corporate facilities manager of a GE Capital corporation. Mr. Kaiser is a member of the American Institute of Architects, the Construction Owners Association of America, and a Senior member and past chapter president and of the American Society for Healthcare Engineering.
Mr. Jaruhar is the BIM Manager for Northwestern Memorial HealthCares (NMHC) Department of Facility Planning and Construction. He has a Masters of Science degree from The Pennsylvania State University where he was part of the Computer Integrated Construction research group focusing on 4D models for schedule creation and optimization. Mr. Jaruhar worked for Jacobs Engineering in Arlington VA as a BIM Coordinator where he focused on design-side BIM implementation including design authoring, clash detection, 4D, model-based quantity take-offs, etc. and CM Agent-side BIM consulting including BIM execution plans for organizations as well as project and BIM audits of AEs and Contractors.
Mr. Jaruhars current responsibilities include project management, developing BIM standards and processes for all new and renovation projects across all enterprise facilities as well as pushing the envelope of BIM implementation at NMHC to be an industry leader in the healthcare sector and beyond. In addition, Mr. Jaruhars role also involves developing enterprise strategy for building design, construction, and operations to be data rich and data driven. BIM, GIS, and FM are core areas of this strategy.
Description
With the goal of achieving BIM-enabled facility management (FM), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare (NMHC) established the infrastructure, tools, and procedures for successful handover of a robust building information model (BIM) at project closeout. NMHC’s process calls for the development of standard nomenclature and set parameters before projects begin, which enables information sharing across legacy systems and databases. This session will enable you to:
Develop a standardized building component data structure so that existing data systems can be effectively integrated with new systems to create a cohesive body of information. Identify the advantages of cloud-hosted collaboration portals that allow data sharing among project participants and across project phases. Discuss the benefits of using a BIM-enabled facility management system. Describe contract clauses that clarify the deliverables (e.g., BIM files) to be turned over to the owner at project closeout and the processes for handover.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
Develop data standardization nomenclature and parameters before a project begins. As data is generated throughout the project, standard nomenclature and indexing allows for the development of multiple relational repositories (databases) of dissimilar information to communicate.
Describe the contract clauses which clarify hand-over requirements. As owners develop their personalized hand-over requirements, it is essential to add those deliverables and processes to the contract language.
Effectively connect existing data systems into a cohesive network. As data standardization is achieved, it enables sharing of information across legacy systems or databases which creates an effective knowledge network that is easily accessible to Facility Managers.
Identify the advantages of Cloud-hosted collaboration portals that can allow sharing of data across project participants as well as across project phases.
