				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are pleased to announce we have just added the <a href="http://www.westga.edu/">University of West Georgia</a> to our list of Higher Education clients. The campus encompasses more than 600 acres and serves more than 11,000 students.

<p>We’re also excited that our relationship with <a href="http://www.gsu.edu/">Georgia State University</a> is expanding, as we were also awarded a Task Order contract to help maintain and renovate their facilities as needed.  This will be our second Task Order contract with GSU and we look forward to continuing our great partnership.</p>
<p>Albion Scaccia was selected for both of these contracts through a Qualifications Based Selection process.  We are honored that they have selected us and will work hard to prove that they made the right selection and exceed their expectations.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to David Houle and Jonathan Fleece in <i>The New Health Age: The Future of Health Care in America</i>, one in three hospitals will close or reorganize into a different type of healthcare provider by 2020, but with proper planning, hospitals can successfully navigate changes stemming from healthcare reform.</p>
<p>Improving and upgrading facilities to handle an influx of new patients is a key concern amongst hospital administrators, and planning projects using new construction technologies, such as building information modeling (BIM) can save time and money, while reducing the impact on patient care.</p>
<p>Involving your construction partners early in the planning process also helps projects progress more smoothly and can result in fewer change orders and further cost savings.</p>
<p>Albion Scaccia has commissioned a research-based executive briefing on “The Five Critical Challenges Facing Healthcare Facility Improvements” that addresses these and other issues. <a href="mailto:bnewsome@albionscaccia.com?subject=Executive%20Briefing%20Request">Contact me</a> to schedule this free briefing that will take less than an hour of your time.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thirty-two million more Americans will have health insurance as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, bringing unprecedented opportunities to serve new patients. However, hospitals and healthcare facilities that do nothing in the face of sweeping changes in the healthcare industry are destined to lose market share and risk disappearing.</p>
<p>From upgrading aging facilities to improving technology, healthcare facilities must modernize to compete in today’s healthcare environment. And ensuring modernization is completed efficiently and within budget is key.</p>
<p>To help support our healthcare partners and the patients they serve, Albion Scaccia has developed a white paper on the subject, which can be downloaded by <a href="../../whitepaper-hm.php">clicking here</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The enemy of all construction projects is delays that can crop up from errors and unexpected challenges that may happen once the project is underway. Delays cost both time and money, so reducing errors and challenges is key to a smoothly functioning construction project.</p>
<p>Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology allows architects and contractors to create a 3D model of the project that automatically finds and prevents spatial conflicts, reducing errors and change orders. It also leads to better communication amongst architects and contractors, as the 3D models can be accessed onsite or in the office.</p>
<p>Using BIM, Miller Children’s Hospital was able to complete an $86 million addition on schedule. The technology resulted in better communication amongst the hospital, architect and contractor, more deadlines met, fewer change orders and reduced liability.</p>
<p>Albion Scaccia believes this technology is an excellent way to ensure complex projects are delivered on time and within budget.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have begun work on a great new conference space for Georgia State University’s <a>Andrew Young School of Policy Studies</a>. The school is in the old Fourth National Bank building, originally built in 1905, on the corner of Marietta and Peachtree Streets.</p>
<p>The school, which encompasses criminal justice and criminology; economics; public management and policy; and, social work, teaches students to design, implement, manage and evaluate policies that address issues of economic and social development on the local, regional, national and global levels.</p>
<p>We are going to demolish about 3,600 square feet to create a beautiful new conference space for the school. The space will include conference rooms and seminar space; workgroup areas; collaborative hubs; communal areas; study carrels; exhibit space; multipurpose room; and catering space.</p>
<p>The students and faculty who use this space will have a great impact on the world, and we are excited to facilitate their education with this conference facility.</p>

<p>As part of our ongoing commitment to support not only our clients, but the patients they serve, we commissioned a comprehensive research study on the</p>
<p>“Five Critical Challenges Facing Healthcare Facilities Improvements,” and I delivered the results of that study, and how to overcome those challenges, to GASHE.</p>
<p>With all the pending changes in health care due to health care reform implementation, I really applaud GASHE members for educating themselves on best practices and new technologies available to help their facilities meet the ever changing needs of their patients.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Construction delays can be extremely costly, but anticipating potential obstacles in advance and responding quickly to them as they arise can prevent delays.</p>
<p>Hospital renovations, in particular, are inherently complicated due to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Maintenance of operations</li>
<li>Infection control</li>
<li>Unknown existing conditions that contribute to the complexity</li>
</ul>
<p>In older hospitals, for example, mechanicals, wiring and pipes are sometimes not where they are supposed to be, or have been moved during previous renovations. Additionally, different areas of the hospital may have unique technical needs that arise during construction. Disruption of patient care and risk of infection can also cause construction delays.</p>
<p>Proper planning with the advice of experts and open communications between contractors and hospital facilities staff can help identify potential obstacles in advance, as well as provide quicker resolutions when unanticipated challenges arise.</p>
