The new eight-story tower at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Ill., used a hybrid Integrated Lean Project Delivery (ILPD) model where trade partners were engaged from Day 1 in the design process, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management magazine.
The new eight-story tower houses a birthing center with rooms for high-risk mothers and state-of-the-art operating rooms for cesarean sections.
Consultants assisted in the design and pricing of various building systems to provide Advocate with options that optimized system design value and long-term value analysis with accurate trade pricing.
Targeting LEED for Healthcare Silver certification, the patient tower uses 28 percent less water than a typical hospital in Illinois.
