The Coler-Goldwater Project: Innovative Design and Delivery Strategies for Urban Hospitals

• Legal, Politics & Economics

Many hospital systems are dealing with budget shortfalls while simultaneously facing increasing patient demand. This is the case for The Health and Hospital Corporation, the nation’s largest municipal healthcare organization, serving over 1.3 million New Yorkers annually with over 1/3 of their patients uninsured. So how do you reconcile budget constraints, meet an aggressive schedule, exceed the City’s MBE/WBE goals and design two state-of-the-art hospitals? Through innovative design, cost-effective material selection, efficient project delivery, time saving technology and team building incentive programs developed to encourage collaboration and creativity. This session will take you “behind the scenes” and share new design, project management and delivery techniques that will shape how hospital projects will be designed delivered in the future.
