RESEARCH, DESIGN & OUTCOMES | 2024 PDC SUMMIT

Design standards are often an undervalued and underutilized asset that owners, planners and design professionals can use to pre-empt a wide range of project challenges that often emerge during the planning, design and construction process.

Hear from owners representing three of the world’s most preeminent health systems – Stanford, Kaiser and Medxcel – together with construction and engineering partners, all members of The Center for Health Design’s Built Environment Network, as they share their experiences and use of design standards, and their evolution over time.

You’ll learn how they are using them to anticipate supply chain needs, reduce maintenance and life cycle costs, improve project delivery time. As they anticipate the future, they want to embed and integrate these standards into existing technology and use AI to gather data to better manage their portfolios. 

Standards are NOT going away. In fact, they are becoming increasingly more important in the planning, design and project delivery process, and for all types of spaces, furnishings and equipment, the building envelope, and to support different operational models. And they continue to evolve in new and valuable ways. Don’t miss this opportunity to bring these real-world insights and best practices back to your project team.
