“The Halyard team has been handling one of the more difficult aspects of our large-scale hospital build – the planning, procuring, and coordinating of all the medical equipment. They do a great job dealing with an extraordinary range of challenges and personalities at the strategic table, and they bring a high level of focus, attention to detail, and collaboration to the process. They walk that complicated line of being responsive – and showing us how they can keep things running smoothly – without being pushy. That level of intuition and partnership is greatly appreciated.”

Steve Greulich, Penn Medicine

Halyard's Role

This project required a massive amount of planning, procuring, and coordinating for medical equipment – which significantly impacted design, budget, and construction schedules. Penn Medicine engaged our team to provide project management services and oversight of the equipment planners and design and construction teams, including:

  • Engaging as a full-time partner with Owner’s internal project management team responsible for $200 million medical equipment scope of work
  • Equipment planning and procurement, including summarizing input from equipment planners and end users, design coordination, and leadership approvals
  • Coordination of AE and CM activities relative to FF&E/IT/AV
  • Development and management of major equipment
  • installation schedule leading to overall building occupancy
  • Budget, cost and change management reporting & tracking

The Biggest Challenges

“We knew the importance of keeping the decision-making on track because it allowed us to provide a solid plan to the construction team exactly when they needed it. But constant change over a long project timeline made the path anything but smooth — which required us to be highly adaptable and immerse ourselves in the details."
Barrett Dunigan, Halyard Principal
