Using various scenarios to plan for a new, renovated, or expanded facility — from business-as-usual operations to pandemics and natural disasters — hospital leaders and facility managers can shift their thinking from facilitating near-future operations to long-term financial and operational resiliency.

Simply incorporating the idea of resiliency into the planning vocabulary can expand the planning mindset to examine how well a facility and its mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems can absorb disruptions to normal operations. George Stefanovici, Paul Carastro, and Adam Posorske, PE, discuss scalable and resilient hospital infrastructure tips.

BSA Principal Kevin Token joins the podcast to share insights on leading and managing large projects, how important communication is throughout a project life cycle, scope changes, and leveraging technology and project management tools to ensure successful outcomes.

Additionally, Joshua Vel, director of design, and Paul Harry, principal, discuss the importance of sustainability and what it means to clients and end users in the healing, learning, and discovery markets on BSA by Design. The conversation touches on sustainability, systems, carbon, geothermal, daylighting, WELL Building principles, and flexibility.
