Standard practice in the EU is to design healthcare facilities that provide access to natural light from almost all spaces. For the diagnostic and treatment (D&T) components, this results in a "Swiss cheese" facility with multiple courtyards allowing for both natural light and ventilation. Can we accommodate this technique yet still provide for the "disruptive technologies" that will invade the D&T environment? This session enables attendees to:
•Describe proposed "disruptive technologies" and how they may impact D&T design.
•State proposed innovations in MEP systems for D&T facilities.
•Discuss how we need to change our thinking/regulations to accommodate these changes.
