mine how to reduce costs within his/her specific discipline, the entire team
collaborated in all-day workshops at the end of each phase to brainstorm
ideas, solve budget issues, and identify opportunities to incorporate key
items.
Some outcomes of the process included:
* Instead of importing aggregate base for paving from a quarry, existing
on-site rock was processed to meet requirements.
* The finish floor elevation was raised by 5 feet more than originally intended in order to reduce the amount of rock excavation necessary over
the pad footprint of 40 acres.
* By evaluating fuel system needs, the team was able to use just one fuel
type, thereby requiring only one underground fuel storage tank.
* Additional savings were also realized by moving an education center
from the hospital (where construction costs would have been more expensive) into the medical office building.

A B OV E : The new replace-

ment hospital at SSM
Health St. Mary's Hospital
in Jefferson City, Mo., sits
on a 110-acre greenfield
site and includes extensive
landscaping, views of
the city, and walking
trails. The replacement
hospital connects to a
66,000-square-foot medical office building that
houses a retail pharmacy
and outpatient services.
B E L OW: The 172-bed
patient tower features private rooms and decentralized nursing with smaller
huddle areas and charting
stations at each room.

The planning and communication structure put in place created an environment where no project phase moved forward without full budget compliance from each team member.
For example, after conducting an analysis of the patient population, the
team recommended moving away from a budget item to add a patient lift
system to every room and instead only added a lift rail that would support a
mobile system that could be moved from room to room, achieving a significant savings. Another example is the decision to use impact-resistant drywall with minimal wall protection in patient room corridors. By using this
higher-quality acoustical drywall rather than two layers of regular drywall,
the team reduced installation expenses for a more cost-effective solution.
Incorporating easily maintainable finishes
also optimized future value for the project,

possible. Throughout the process, products and
materials were evaluated by their life-cycle costs
rather than initial expenditures alone.
A highly scrutinized design feature is the
building 's curved bed tower. While the team
liked the aesthetic of the curve, some project
members proposed replacing it with a more
traditional design to save money. Considerations included that a long corridor would
create a tunnel effect, while the curve eclipses
the view and minimizes the feeling of distance
while still providing the same visibility to patients. Its orientation also effectively blocks
northerly winds in the public outdoor spaces.
Careful layout considerations were managed
efficiently through 3-D modeling software
and advanced electronic layout equipment.
Through discussions and evaluation, it was
determined that the positive effects of the
curve provided critical value to the project,
and only modest savings from being able to
prefabricate longer, larger pipe and ductwork
assemblies for a traditional layout would have
been available.
Medication distribution was another process that was studied and ultimately modified.
The design team worked with the clinical team
to determine whether to institute an inpatient
medication distribution program. Detailed
analyses were conducted of three alternatives:
a centralized model, inpatient room model, and
a decentralized model. Staff activity, nursing
benefits, rental costs, and pharmacy costs were
used to make the final selection of a decentralized model with three systems per 24 beds. To
further add value and offer flexibility, the space
and infrastructure were designed to easily accommodate a future meds drawer in each patient room.
The team sought to make efficient use of
space while still maintaining a healing environment for patients, staff, and visitors. Near the
end of schematic design, the team determined
that the 360-square-foot patient rooms could
