Topic 1 – Capital Funding and Planning: In this session, we will explore how a project is recognized, the steps needed to obtain a certificate of need, how financing is typically secured, the difference in types of construction contracts such as Lump Sum, GMAX, Cost+, and other factors that can bring about a great project or doom it from the beginning.

Speaker TBA

Topic 2 – Planning/Design/Precon/Construction Phase: In this topic, we will build upon the opening session to discuss design implications from code changes (including FGI), challenges and opportunities when connecting to existing systems, how to influence the design process, maximizing value from the cardboard cutout exercise, ensuring a quality build, and how to get what you want. 

Speakers: Micah Dolen, Swedish & Cory Hamilton, UW Valley Medicine

Topic 3 – Transitioning to Occupancy and Maintenance: This session will discuss the tricks of the trade on how to get good as-builts and maintain them in the future, properly inventorying equipment and sensors, developing maintenance practices according to what the equipment and systems needs actually are, working with the contractors/design team to transition institutional knowledge to facilities, writing operating/emergency procedures, continuous commissioning after construction, and more.
