Georgia Health Sciences University
The State of Georgia's only dental school -- the Georgia Health Sciences University (GHSU) College of Dental Medicine (CDM) -- has a new $112 million home that features a warm, embracing, family-centric care environment, provides state-of-the-art equipment for both students and dental practices, and fulfills a need for the university to educate more dentists.

UC Irvine Reduces Operating Costs with Inexpensive Continuous Commissioning System
University of California, Irvine is using smart, web-based electrical sub-meters to capture actionable energy-use data at the building, zone and room level to identify opportunities for decreasing operating expenses and carbon footprint. To get the necessary resolution of detail, low-cost load monitoring devices are retrofitted to the electrical panels in research labs and other energy intensive facilities across campus and connect to a server via TCP/IP. When combined with energy management system (EMS) data from other systems, the sub-meters help provide continuous commissioning of building performance.

Part four of Tradeline's exclusive Lean Facility Lifecycle Series
The greatest opportunity to influence a capital project is at the beginning. One challenge with IPD projects is that the people on the project need to be ready to provide that influence. The owner can help that along by choosing a team that has experience working with each other and a team that can bring systems-level thinking to bear.

Kaleida Health
The Global Heart and Vascular Institute and UB Clinical Translational Research Center/Incubator forms the cornerstone of a new world-class health sciences campus focused on the regeneration of a downtown Buffalo.

Integrated Research and Clinical Resources Drives Image-Guided Surgery Innovation
Engineering and image-guided precision surgery are converging in a cutting-edge facility that features moving CT and MRI equipment shared between two surgical rooms designed to support both translational research and advanced clinical procedures. The new 13,000-sf addition, under construction at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire, combines imaging and surgical space for both human patients, as well as animal research subjects, in a single multi-use perioperative suite. The goal is to not only share expensive equipment resources between research and clinical applications, but also to create a space that can be used for reengineering better image-guided surgery techniques from the ground up.

Lehigh University
This new science building blurs the boundaries between teaching and research to achieve real integration. Fifty state-of-the-art research and teaching labs, classrooms, and offices are interspersed throughout the building. The floor plan promotes collaboration among undergraduate students and researchers from a variety of disciplines—earth/environmental science, chemistry, and bioscience.
