Medical & Healthcare

Engineering for medical and healthcare spaces, shaped by their intended services and equipment.

What this covers

Understanding Medical & Healthcare

A clinic, treatment area and equipment room can have different building-system needs. Define the proposed services, equipment and operating requirements early so the design team can establish the appropriate scope.

When engineering may be required

When to involve an engineer

Engineering help may be needed for a new healthcare space, a conversion or changes to equipment and systems. The facility type determines which additional reviews may apply.

Confirm the engineering scope with the professional you engage and any permit requirements with the local building department.
