This labor and delivery unit brings more than 4,200 babies into the world every year. With that many smiles to welcome, downtime for the unit was not an option. Still, they needed to renovate two existing patient rooms. Utilities and technology needed to be upgraded. It had to happen quickly and cleanly so patients on the unit wouldn’t be disrupted.

Building with DIRTT allowed this labor and delivery unit to install two new headwalls and footwalls in just one week. Wall assemblies came with medical gases pre-installed from the factory. So did power and networks. All that technology integrated within the walls makes it easy to keep clean. The next time they need an upgrade, it will be quicker and cleaner with the easy access DIRTT provides.
