► A Deep Dive Into Adaptive Reuse:
Adaptive Reuse & Reconstruction Opportunities for Healthcare & Life Science Facilities
Converting office, retail, or industrial buildings to healthcare and life science use is not a simple process. Ceiling heights, infrastructure upgrades, uneven floors, and regulatory codes are just the beginning of a long list of idiosyncrasies. Yet, a great location, speed to market, and minimizing environmental impact are worth it. Similarly, reconstructing facilities a healthcare system already owns to other healthcare uses can offer many benefits. Explore lessons learned. See how to identify opportunities, reduce risks, save time, and create value.

Holistic Approach to FF&E Solutions
While the budget is the budget, many healthcare systems have benefited by taking a holistic view of project procurement. By placing greater focus on total cost of ownership they can stay in budget and reduce the overall organizational risk inherent with the low cost bidder on every line item approach.
