With the exception of radiation therapy, the surgical suite is still the most costly area in a health care facility to renovate or construct. It is also the most needs intensive, as far as staff, equipment, material, and building system. Health care providers need an environmentally sensitive area that meets the needs of today, as well as the future. It is equally important to create a working environment that promotes staff comfort, while streamlining time and cost.
