LCI Chicago Community of Practice Lean Event on 10/8

Over the last few years, Advocate Health Care has embarked upon a journey of project delivery transformation. A key part in this journey addresses the manner in which AHC designs and delivers capital construction projects through Integrated Lean Project Delivery or ILPD. Opening in January 2016, the East Tower at Advocate Christ Medical Center is the latest demonstration of their integrated lean project process. The East Tower is a 350,000 gross square feet structure comprised of Intensive Care Units, Women’s & Infants, New Entry & Lobby, Food Service, and a new addition to the Medical Center’s Service Dock.

By integrating together prior to being awarded the project, the A/E/C firms involved embraced the principles of Lean and committed to an integrated design process to bring Advocate's vision to life. Hear Al Manshum, VP of Design and Construction, and Scott Nelson, Director of Design & Planning for Advocate Health Care, share their thoughts and insights on Advocate Health Care’s journey towards Integrated Lean Project Delivery and the role that the East Tower played in that journey. Then tour the building with members of the Design and Construction Team.

The program will be from 4 pm-6:30 pm at Christ Medical Center, 4440 West 95th Street, Oak Lawn, IL 60453. An informal networking session at Deja Brew Pub & Grill, 5219 West 95th Street, will follow the program.
