SSM Cardinal Glennon Children&rsquo;s Medical Center received the 2009 Vista
Award &ndash; a national mark of distinction and honor, recognizing the
importance of teamwork in the healthcare design and building
environment.&nbsp; The award is granted by the American Society for
Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) of the American Hospital Association
(AHA).&nbsp; The NICU &amp; Surgery Addition is one of only three new
hospital projects in the country to be recognized this year with a
Vista Award.&nbsp; Alberici Constructors served as the project&rsquo;s
construction manager and Christner served as the project&rsquo;s architect.<br /><br />The
project team used Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and Lean
Construction techniques to deliver a specialized building that includes
ten operating rooms and a NICU with 60 private rooms.&nbsp; Teamwork led to
exceptional results in reducing cost and waste, adhering to the
schedule, and responding to a not-to-exceed budget of $59 million<br /><br />For
example, the team conserved 40% of the original construction
contingency as an incentive pool. Savings &ndash; accrued through unusual
collaboration during design and construction &ndash; were shared by the
architect, constructor, engineer and major system subcontractors.</p>
<p>Partners to the leadership team for the SSM Cardinal Glennon NICU
&amp; Surgery project were: Owner:SSM Cardinal Glennon Children&rsquo;s
Medical Center; Architect: Christner Inc.; Contractor: Alberici
