CHI Franciscan Health Burien
Designed by doctors and staff to allow more time with patients, this 49,000 square foot, two-story, build-to-suit outpatient healthcare facility features urgent + primary care, women’s health, lab services, diagnostic imaging: X-Ray, Ultrasound, Mammography, and a drop-in playroom for children to provide parents more privacy during doctor visits. More importantly, the pavilion provides a serene environment by separating patients from busy staff areas. An indoor/outdoor fireplace, extensive windows that take advantage of both natural lighting and the views of adjacent greenbelt, and use of natural wood finishes provide patients with a sense of calm during their visits.
During preconstruction, GLY and ZGF worked with a team of 30 CHI Franciscan staff, physicians and leaders to develop a Lean process of Integrated Design Events [IDE]. These planning sessions were conducted in a warehouse off site, and allowed the team to work through design, permitting, entitlements and construction issues. The warehouse was also used to construct physical mock-ups to ensure the design met objectives for increased efficiency and reduced time spent on non-patient-related activities.

I very much appreciate GLY’s collaborative thinking during construction. We all work towards turning issues into opportunities...GLY is instrumental in making that happen.

Leveraging Integrated Project Delivery
GLY, ZGF, and CHI Franciscan used a three-party Integrated Project Delivery [IPD] contract. IPD maximizes Lean practices including:
modular layout
The concurrent completion of shell + core and the tenant improvement was the primary driver for efficiency. Use of a consistent Clinic Module and stacked layout made it possible to prefabricate schedule-critical interior components off site and support efficient routing for MEP systems once on site. This shaved time off the critical path schedule [vs. a more traditional approach]. Prefabrication examples:
Common wall of each exam room [stud framing + electrical rough-in].
Plumbing assemblies on first and second floor rooms. Plumbing wall rough-in was complete prior to framing, accelerating start of drywall.
