Description
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of modular construction and the role modular construction currently holds in the healthcare industry. What constitutes modular construction and the processes involved in using prefabricated components will be addressed. Potential benefits, as well as detriments, are explored. Research of modular construction utilization in the building of new healthcare facilities and in the renovations of existing structures will provide a more in-depth analysis. Specific cases will be examined to further highlight the advantages of a modular construction design.
