The three-year project has a price tag of $238.2 million. The four-story, 174,000-square-foot hospital will consist of 56 acuity adaptable beds, 18 short-stay beds and eight licensed operating rooms. The existing medical center facility will also undergo renovations. Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2023.

But what makes for successful prototypes and program standards? Can this approach work outside of the retail world? “The lessons of retail programs can apply across property types in this sense: land development consultants and site designers can learn how specific clients need their set of standards and guidelines implemented. It’s essential to thoroughly understand a program client’s procedures, and we’re expected to know these parameters inside and out,” says Steven T. Fortunato, a senior project manager at Bohler’s Rehoboth Beach office in Delaware. Bohler is a land development design and consulting firm that specializes in helping developers move their projects forward faster. “The retail program methodology translates well to other sectors.
