JULY 2022

Prepared for Prefab?

Last year, we introduced a new topic to our year-long design workshop series titled Re-imaging Prefab: Unleashing Design Possibilities to Enhance the Healthcare Experience and Bottom Line. It was our most highly attended paid workshop ever.

It emerged from conversations we were having with healthcare designers, providers, product manufactures and construction professionals around the sweeping and anticipated changes borne out of the pandemic. And the predictions were supported by a growing body of evidence (we like that here at The Center).

In an extensive survey by Dodge Data and Analytics of over 650 design and construction firms, when asked about which building types will have the highest frequency of prefab and modular construction in the next three years, healthcare facilities topped the list at 82%.

In two weeks on July 28, we’ll gather again (virtually) for Modular Design and Prefabrication: Balancing Better and Faster with Quality. We’ll hear about exciting developments in this fast-paced segment of the healthcare design industry, what’s been learned as more and more design firms embrace these new strategies, and what’s on the horizon. The day will include:

• Case studies and best practices from leading healthcare providers – Stanford Health Care and Kaiser Permanente – and the design and construction firms leading the way in applying prefab and modular solutions – HDR, DLR Group, SLAM, DPR Construction, JE Dunn Construction and ModularDesign+;
• Innovative applications of prefab in healthcare from leading solution providers Boldt, Mark III and RF Brand; and,
• Insights and predictions from one of the industry’s most experienced and forward-looking experts, Chris Giattina, CEO of BLOX.

Plus, as always, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with presenters and colleagues in extensive Q&A, breakout groups and our popular post-workshop social.

Advance registration savings end tomorrow, Friday, July 15, so register soon. We have several organizations bringing project teams – there are substantial discounts for groups of five or more.

They’ll be talking about this workshop (again) for months – I hope to see you there.

Be well,
