The $47 million Mercy healthcare facility in Springdale, Ark., utilized virtual design and construction (VDC) as part of the buildout, according to an article on the Healthcare Construction + Operations website.
The construction tool makes use of drone technology, virtual reality modeling, 360-degree video and laser scanning.
The 360-degree cameras allowed the project managers to create high-resolution images of each room and area within the Mercy clinic as they worked.
This also allowed for a better sense of where future expansion might be possible, the article said.
