This Senior Thesis Final Report includes the process development and outcomes derived through the analysis
of the New Regional Medical Center. This facility is a new construction, 5 floors, 366,780 square foot hospital
in East Norriton, Pennsylvania, and is associated with the Einstein Healthcare Network.
Through the four areas of technical analysis, investigation and applications have identified construction efficiency through information exchange. BIM utilization will streamline the construction estimating and
planning processes on this project. An effective curtain wall modularization and architectural redesign of the
atrium, in addition to a structural redesign of the concrete pour strips, will provide a strong comparison of the
benefits in early designer and builder communication. Finally, the development of a facility management
interface for building operation will identify innovative solutions and provide substantial benefits of a project based
document interface. |
