Logistical considerations were meticulously vetted and prioritized in the planning process, resulting in new infrastructure inside and outside the vault, a new quench vent, and demolition and renovations to the adjacent spaces. The project was completed adjacent to occupied and active clinic spaces, requiring high levels of coordination among key stakeholders to ensure patient safety and minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
