Boston Children’s Hospital, Pediatric Clinical Simulation Center

Boston, MA

  • Lavalle Brensinger Architects – 2014-2016

Developed the Construction Drawings and oversaw the construction of a 6,000 square foot clinical simulation center. Challenge with creating a full medical space within an existing office building we worked with the Hospital and Bond Brothers Construction to 3D scan space and create a full 3D model of all the various systems. This allowed us to see issues and work out solutions before they came up in the field. The creation of complete clinical spaces, control rooms and conference rooms allows the Hospital staff to run almost any medical/surgical simulation, review and discuss the simulation prior to working on the actual patient. My biggest challenge was keeping the architectural budget in line. With so much time spent on design, the construction documents and construction administration had to be efficient and thorough to minimize expenses in the field.
