TH33 Driving Process Change in the Institutional Sector
05/15/2008, 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM


Learning Units: 1.50-Intermediate level

Training Units: 0.375-Training Area 1 (Programming)

Institutional projects, particularly major hospital expansions and university biomedical research facilities, pose a unique set of challenges due to the complexity of program and design requirements and budget and schedule restraints. A leading institutional owner, an architect, a builder, and a technologist join in this session to examine how digital prototyping enabled by building information modeling, four-dimensional construction planning, and integrated practice delivery models are changing institutional project outcomes.

Learning Objectives:
  • Explain the issues confronting institutional owners that are driving process change in health care and research project planning, design, and delivery
  • Assess how building information modeling is enabling architects to provide their institutional clients with more predictable project outcomes
  • Evaluate how builders are using virtual building models and lean construction practices to reduce errors and building costs for large, institutional projects
