MEP Systems’ Coordination for Successful Healthcare Architecture. Hospitals and healthcare facilities being designed and developed today are very different in structure and nature from the ones built a few decades back.

MEP Systems’ Coordination for Successful Healthcare Architecture

The change has been driven by advancements in medical facilities, as much as in the view of design as a tool to resolve problems. That said, one also needs to consider that the life cycle of a building is not designed for a short-term use; 50 years on the minimum side, with renovations & modifications keeping with the changing needs of the healthcare facility. In an ideal scenario, all the stakeholders of such a facility would be looking at the best value design, rather than one that just costs less or compromises on design to enhance capacity. A healthcare facility, or a hospital, is a typically patient-centric building. This fact makes it widely different from commercial & residential buildings.
