Over the past decade we've seen dramatic changes in healthcare construction in terms of demands and delivery. This extends to cost factors and green building requirements, which are having a profound and exciting impact on the development of healthcare facilities. Changes are often difficult to predict so new buildings are being designed to be flexible and adaptable. It can get especially tricky with the redevelopment of existing buildings.

Regardless of whether you have an existing or new facility, it's important to meet today's green building standards and create an attractive work and patient environment.That's easier said than done though, right? Not necessarily.
