The global pandemic swiftly transformed healthcare facility operations, necessitating rapid implementation of infection prevention and control (IP&C) 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 IP&C 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 the patient, staff, and family experience. Looking ahead, the presentation also explores future design strategies leveraging advancements in science, technology, and policy.

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 protect not only 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 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.

This course outlines 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 and 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.
