Project Stories
Fully-furnished mock-ups provide quality assurance
To assist IU Health in the decision-making process while the building was still under construction, we worked with the design team to construct fully-finished mock-up rooms, complete with all of the furnishings, in another building nearby. The mock-ups established quality expectations with our trade partners and provided quality assurance during installation.
Additionally, the rooms helped clinical personnel visualize and identify trouble spots and make corrections before the entire hospital was finished. Off-site construction of the mockups kept the project on schedule and through early identification of changes, finalized the design within budget. Though not the original intent, the hospital also benefited from the process by sharing a preview of the spaces to physicians as they were staffing the facility.
