A bold vision is taking shape in Tallahassee, driven by collaboration, innovation, and community. Led by Ajax Building Company, the Florida State University Academic Health Center is set to transform healthcare and medical research in North Florida. This cutting-edge facility will serve as a regional hub for clinical care, education, and innovation—marking a new era for FSU, the Tallahassee community, and beyond.

More healthcare projects in North America are considering mass timber construction to reap the benefits, including improved patient experiences and healing outcomes.

Health care is like health itself: you never know what might hit you. It therefore requires collaboration among everyone working in the field, be it medical providers, technicians, administrators and the real estate professionals responsible for the development of the facilities where people receive care.

The deadline for filing reports on energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions under New York City’s Local Law 97 — or face fines for failing to do so — is coming early next year for most owners of larger buildings. That has significantly impacted those in charge of implementing these standards throughout the health care facilities universe.

In this episode of The Construction Insiders Podcast, host Jessica Busch explores Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) in healthcare construction, focusing on its evolution and effectiveness for complex facilities with guests Steve Howard and Michael Blasingim. The discussion covers the key aspects of IPD, including its benefits, challenges, and role in fostering collaboration among stakeholders in healthcare projects. The podcast also delves into the technological tools that facilitate IPD processes and examines future trends in the application of this delivery method for healthcare facilities.

In the heart of Tacoma, Washington, a transformative project is underway with a promise to reshape healthcare for the community’s youngest members—the MultiCare Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital. And with the strategic partnership between Layton Construction and Abbott Construction to build it, the project stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and shared healthcare construction expertise.

Building behavioral health facilities has long been a Layton priority. We’re passionate about creating spaces that support mental health and improve the lives of individuals in communities across the country.

It’s easy to grasp the visible expansion of Jefferson Healthcare on Sheridan Street and to understand that it benefits the community. We are a bit isolated here on the peninsula, and having quality care is essential for good outcomes.

Ever wondered how modern construction delivery methods are reshaping the industry? Join Chris McGinnis, Senior Project Manager at LF Driscoll, Mike Dikon, Vice President at LF Driscoll, and Steve Greulich, Associate VP of Capital Projects for Penn Medicine, as they explore how Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is transforming collaboration, boosting efficiency, and redefining success on projects.

It may surprise you that patient privacy falls under an architect’s responsibility. But privacy as well as technical needs informed Ennead Architects’s core design decisions for the Jefferson Health Honickman Center in Philadelphia—a feat, given the building’s generous use of glass.
