Hospitals are known for having a major impact on the environment, with significant needs for resources such as water and energy. So how can you build a hospital today that is sustainable, not only for the planet but also for the patients and those who work there?In this episode, we take a closer look at an amazing project where the construction and design teams worked closely with the customer to complete a major expansion of the UVA University Hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia, in the USA. The expansion had to be built while the hospital continued operating without interruption. On top of that, the entire project was tested to the limit when the Covid-19 pandemic hit the region and the world.Our guests:
Mark Humbertson Construction Administration Manager, University of Virginia
Jon Penndorf, Associate Principal at multidisciplinary design firm Perkins&Will
