Structures designed for a bygone era are now pushed beyond their intended limits. Some hospitals are beginning to degrade and fail.

Hospitals and healthcare campuses are increasingly relying on buildings that were built 40 to 60 years ago. These facilities were never intended to support today’s high-tech, always-on, high-acuity environments. The landscape has dramatically changed and deferred maintenance is creating backlogs, unexpected failures, and rising costs.

The physical infrastructure of a hospital serves as the foundation for effective and safe patient care. Emergency Departments, Operating Rooms, Pharmacies, in fact, all areas of a hospital are reliant on the efficiency of temperature control, pressure monitoring, and air balancing that an effective infrastructure provides.

However, much of the infrastructure that enables critical hospital functions is aging rapidly. This aging trend, paired with rising patient expectations and evolving healthcare technologies, increases the cost of deferring infrastructure decisions
