Massachusetts General Hospital: 'Lower those ceiling heights'

摘要

"We do renovations every year, year in and year out, so we know how to build stuff," says David Hanitchak, director of planning and construction for Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, Still, the no-nonsense Hanitchak doesn't want to be too rigid with the hospitals' architects. "When we're hiring new firms, we want their knowledge. We're trying to find the best solutions, the best ways to do things, and generally the best solution isn't more space but how to get more out of less space."
