    The 130-year-old Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) Somerville Campus is a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School (HMS) north of Boston offering urgent care, primary care, women’s health, and inpatient psychiatry services for children and youth.

    When it embarked on a significant renovation of two floors to make them more suitable for behavioral health treatments, project architect Lavallee Brensinger Architects brought in Unicel Architectural to help upgrade the facility’s legacy window system. Unicel Architectural was contracted to furnish nearly 40 window units, including spandrel panels and its award-winning, AAMA 501.8 certified Vision Control for Behavioral Health for exterior and interior applications.

    The Big Lots Behavioral Health Pavilion at Nationwide Children’s Hospital is housed in a 386,000 square foot glass building featuring integrated inpatient and outpatient services. Unicel Architectural, which has a strong track record working with behavioral health centers, was asked to deliver an integrated louvers product. The pavilion now now boasts more than 300 exterior Vision Control units with vertical louvers and glass stops in glossy white and custom gray, each perfectly suited to the architect’s specifications, along with 120 interior Vision Control units and low-profile door trims with horizontal louvers to provide much-needed privacy and sound dampening.

    This webinar highlights the case study of Baptist Health Care of Pensacola and the design of their new 57-acre campus. Presenters will discuss how this integrated design team approached prefabrication of the building envelope, MEP systems, and interior components. They’ll detail the benefits and risks of prefabrication, how the process reduced the carbon footprint, and how owners can truly benefit from the added coordination. Finally, the team will discuss how they proactively communicated to eliminate pitfalls and costly design changes that come from conventional construction methods through prefabrication.

    For the past hundred years, prefabrication has helped to enhance cost-effectiveness and expedite construction timelines, but it isn’t enough. This webinar will provide an update on the current market status for healthcare prefabrication projects and projections for the next decade. Attendees will see proven case study findings from multiple completed productized healthcare projects, and the impact prefabrication can have on cost and sustainability.

    This webinar will address how we as programmers, designers, and planners can influence inclusive healthcare environment that serves everyone. If health disparities are to be addressed holistically and universally, then healthcare design will be an important component of that shift. For clients that are serving underserved regions, whether with the construction of new facilities or the renovation of existing buildings on campus, we owe it to all shareholders to understand the issues of inclusive architecture, and to help them set, reach and exceed goals for meeting the needs of patients and families that traditionally do not have their healthcare needs met.
