The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) health system is among the nation's top comprehensive academic health sciences centers. Infection and contamination control are critical to the hospital's infrastructure to not only protect patients but also their providers during the delivery of care. Well-designed building engineering systems play a key role in ensuring air supply and circulation, pressurization, hazardous exhaust, and plumbing systems have all been optimized for comfort, health, and safety. MUSC worked with LS3P & RMF Engineering on two recent renovation projects –– the Ashley River Tower bone marrow transplant outpatient clinic and the Hollings Cancer Center chemo pharmacy –– that both highlight best practices in infection and contamination control for today while preparing for the potential of tomorrow.

The global pandemic swiftly transformed healthcare facility operations, necessitating rapid implementation of infection prevention and control measures. Now, more than four years later, this presentation examines the evolution of facility design in response to lessons learned. It explores which design strategies have proven effective, sustainable, or transformative in shaping best practices. Highlighted topics include recent advances in infection prevention and control that influence strategic planning, operational efficiency, spatial dynamics, and architectural innovation. Additionally, presenters will address decision-making considerations beyond IP&C, such as cost-efficiency, sustainability, and patient/staff/family experience. Looking ahead, the presentation also explores future design strategies leveraging advancements in science, technology, and policy.

This course will outline four specific focus areas related to Infection Control, aimed at enhancing understanding of the importance of these considerations for construction projects. Hospitals utilize Infection Control teams to assist in creating safe, sanitary environments for providing healthcare to patients. It’s imperative to understand what these teams require to maintain this environment during new building projects, as well as how the design and construction teams can collaborate with them to improve the overall design solutions, yielding spaces that are safer for both patients and staff.

The cabinetry used in exam rooms and clinical environments is an integral part of the delivery of quality care. The way it is designed and utilized within the clinical environment can often impact workflow efficiency, safety initiatives and the healthcare experience for both patients and caregivers.
While a growing number of healthcare organizations are beginning to view cabinetry as a strategic component of the clinical environment, many still view it as an interchangeable commodity—easily substituted with the lowest cost option in the face of budget constraints or cost-cutting efforts.
This webinar from Midmark explains why the design of the cabinetry should be a consideration in any purchasing decision. It identifies the five questions healthcare professionals should ask to maximize the value and benefits cabinetry can bring to their clinical environment.

CO2 emissions from healthcare in the world's largest economies account for about 5% of their national carbon footprints.
Increasingly, leading health organizations are looking to decarbonize facilities, improving health outcomes and reducing utility costs. The presentation integrates architecture and building engineering aspects of the process to reduce carbon in facilities, including both operational and embodied carbon. Key principles begin with designing for the patient experience and thermal comfort. This approach focusses on managing peak solar loads, eliminating the need for air changes beyond minimum code required ACH. This model saves first costs, and creates flexibility for alternate comfort delivery systems, like chilled beams. Control systems that integrate process loads enable a new way to manage annual thermal resources. This is consistent with next generation central plants based on pumping energy like heat recovery chillers or ground source heat pumps. These plants provide a thermal regime consistent with chilled beams, enabling the lowest energy use outcomes. Design tools that architect and engineers share are demonstrated as part of a design methodology to achieve this paradigm.
