Citizen of the World Knowing our focus on multi-residential would be going to press in April, I asked the world famous architect Moshe Safdie for comments.

“Design for multi-residential should focus on getting back to the natural.” he said when I met him at the “Citizen of the World” reception at the BSAspace Gallery.

He is not a big fan of micro apartments saying, “A micro apartment results in a micro life.”

We were able to meet and greet with the high-profile architect while perusing an impressive 50 year retrospective of his work on display. The exhibition curated

by Donald Albrecht and designed by Nader Tehrani is open until May 22.

Some of the models resemble a vision of the future as might be seen in a scifi

vision of the future, but they are in reality functioning facilities. The exhibit also includes models of projects not built, as well as drawings, films, and photography from more than 30 projects.

To gain an insight into the mindset behind his creations read Renee Loth’s interview from winter 2014 ArchitectureBoston. You may still be able to pick up a copy when you visit the BSAspace Gallery, 380 Congress St., Boston.

Is HP Boston Heavy?

High-Profile (HP) covers facilities developments in New England but for the past few months you may have gotten the impression that we are heavy with stories from Eastern Massachusetts.

So, for the record, it’s not that we are favoring the area, it’s that the area is more active. Chuck Reilly, VP of Business Development, Dacon wrote it his recent 2016 Design-Build Market Review that, “...eastern Massachusetts is in the midst of a building boom – the largest, most dynamic period of commercial construction in Boston’s history” Focusing on the design/build market he said, “I have been a member of this wonderful commercial real estate community for more than 36 years, and I have never seen this dynamic of a

2015 AIA Gold Medal–winner Moshe Safdie FAIA at BSAspace Gallery.

construction market in eastern New England. Given the velocity of the past 12 months, I do not see this pace being sustainable. This boom was a combination of pent-up demand, good balance sheets, cheap interest rates, an abundance of capital chasing every deal, and a general sense of now or never. Not including backlogged projects, I foresee a decent year for the build-to-suit commercial construction market, but volume will be lower than 2015 for projects commencing in 2016.”

The latest JLL Investment Intensity Index, which measures the volume of direct commercial real estate investment in a city relative to the city’s economic size, reveals the increasing attractiveness of ‘New World Cities’ to investors. Boston, which is among these

New World Cities, ranks fourth in the U.S. behind only Honolulu, Silicon Valley, and New York, and fourteenth globally.

On high end condos Scott Van Voorhis, Boston.com Correspondent, recently noted, “Last year, 117 condos in Boston sold for more than $3 million, a record. That’s up from 73 in 2014.

And with hundreds of multi milliondollar units expected to close later this year after the new Millennium Tower opens, that record is more than likely to get shattered again in 2016.”

It’s worth noting that according to Mercer’s 18th annual Quality of Living survey, “Quality of Living” in the world remains highest in North America...In the United States, San Francisco (28) ranks highest for quality of living, followed by Boston (34).

Multi-Residential Common Spaces:

A Common Sense Investment for Multi-Unit Housing Developments

by John Day

There are very few real estate professionals who would deny that Boston’s multi-unit housing market is booming. This growth in the downtown market is being driven by shifting demographics — an urban/ suburban housing swap motivated by downsizing baby boomers and younger, workforce-aged millennials looking for city conveniences.

Accelerating demand creates competition; developers, owners, and property managers savvy enough to recognize and incorporate the features and amenities that residents desire will put them ahead of the curve. Whether new buildings or renovations, our clients are all facing the same challenge —

maximizing the cost vs. impact equation to capture market demand.

Common spaces, as opposed to individual units, are where this dynamic is most apparent. Incorporating a property’s brand, the public-facing lobby and private amenity areas drive reputation and marketability.

Gone are the days of meeting the basics; a lobby, mail room, and storage.

Today’s residents are looking for group entertaining areas, roof decks, gyms and yoga studios, work spaces, cafÊs, pools, club rooms, bicycle storage, and car-sharing parking. These spaces attract new residents, increase resident morale, improve property values, and can cement ties to the community depending on the amount of public access. Upfront expenditures or investing in refreshing these spaces adds significant value and can be done with an eye towards cost savings and improving building efficiency.

Not only do residents demand amenities, they are looking for spaces that make a visual statement. My strategy for designing common space interiors in

new construction projects begins with furniture, fixture, and finish schemes that incorporate timeless, classic styles with selective high-impact moments that avoid being too hotel-like or overly trendy. No matter the style, these elements are chosen to lengthen the period between renovation cycles and are selected for their durability

and time-honored looks, resulting in a cost-savings over the life of the building.

Also paramount is the residents’ sense of home; these buildings are, in fact, vertical neighborhoods and need to incorporate both individual and continued to page 39

Overlook Ridge Begins New Phase

We rely on the carpenters union to be successful.

Construction

The Chase II

Malden, MA – The next phase of construction at Overlook Ridge, The Chase II, a multifamily housing development in Malden, has begun for Roseland Property Company, a division of Mack-Cali. Erland Construction was retained, after completing The Chase in late 2014. The project architect on this new phase is Minno Wasko, Architects and Planners.

The Chase II is composed of two fourand five-story wood-frame buildings:

Building 2B, a 194,000sf building with 173 rental apartment units; Building 3D, with 123,000sf of space and 119 apartment units; and three sets of individual bay parking garages. The mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom units features stainless steel appliances and stone countertops.

Resident amenities include a fitness center; club, conference, screening, and yoga rooms; children’s play area; and outdoor pool and entertaining area.

CTA Enters Phase 2 Putnam Rehab Cambridge, MA – CTA Construction Co. Inc., based in Waltham, has started Phase 2 of the $22 million revitalization of the Putnam Garden Apartments complex for the Cambridge Housing Authority.

The project includes renovations to 122 apartments, improvements to common areas, and upgrades to building systems.

The first phase of the project recently completed, and residents returned to renovated apartments, including kitchens and bathrooms with new finishes and

Putnam Gardens kitchen

fixtures, and improvements to insulation, painting, baseboard heating, fire alarms, electrical systems, sprinklers, floors, wallboard ceilings and soffits, and renovation and ADA upgrades of common stairwells. In addition, repairs were made to the doors, frames and windows.

“The renovations to the individual apartments provide needed repairs and improvements, and the upgrades in overall building systems, including plumbing and heating, will benefit all the residents

at Putnam Gardens. CTA Construction is grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Cambridge Housing Authority and Bargmann Hendrie + Archetype, Inc. Architects in undertaking this important project on behalf of its residents,” said Paul DuRoss, project executive for CTA. In addition to work inside the units, the project includes installation of a new sprinkler system throughout the threebuilding complex, the replacement of the entire plumbing system for the complex including new water lines connecting to the city water mains, a new boiler plant, site upgrades, and the construction of four waste management sheds.

The project also includes repairs to the roof to extend the manufacturer’s warranty.

Construction is constantly changing – from materials and design, to energy efficiencies, technologies, and more. But the one constant a builder can always rely on is the quality and professionalism of a union carpenter. For more than 130 years the Carpenters Union has been on the cutting edge of innovation, and they continue to work at the forefront of new advancements in building today. In the end, it’s not just about partnerships. It’s about being successful.

The New England Regional Council of Carpenters.

It’s time to build.

Boston – MassDevelopment has issued a $30.8 million tax-exempt bond on behalf of Jefferson Park Apartments LLC, which is using bond proceeds to demolish and reconstruct Jefferson Park, a 108-unit, 100% affordable multifamily housing facility in six Cambridge buildings.

As the result of its master study, the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) ruled the site’s conditions obsolete, calling for demolition of the buildings.

Rebuilding will create 104 units: 32 one-bedroom, 53 two-bedroom, and 19 three-bedroom units.

Other improvements will include private entrances for each of the units, along with maintaining private outdoor spaces and landscape designs.

Bank of America is the project’s bond purchaser, and MassDevelopment also assisted DHCD with the approval of federal low-income housing tax credits that will provide approximately $25.1 million in equity.

Fitchburg, MA – Colantonio Inc. is deep into its gut renovation of the historic Nockege River Mill building for the 96unit Fitchburg Yarn Lofts.

The project was designed by The Architectural Team.

The 100-year-old former home of the Fitchburg Yarn Company sits on 7.5 acres on the banks of the Nashua River.

Its 182,500sf of space span three massive floors and will feature 57 market-rate units, 39 affordable units, community space, and many exposed brick walls. The building boasts more than 280 8-ft. x 10ft. windows to provide each unit with expansive views and plenty of natural light.

Given that the original design allowed river water to flow through the mill’s partial earthen basement, Colantonio’s crew must remove the first floor and rebuild it with concrete slab at least two feet above the 100-year floodplain. Other

restoration work includes repointing and repairing the exterior brick envelope and chimney stack and structural reinforcement to the roof.

“Transforming this landmark building to make it suitable for quality housing is not an easy task, and we are staying on time and on budget,” said Adam Stein, senior vice president for owner WinnDevelopment.

Colantonio to Rejuvenate Golda Meir South Coast Renovates Brightview

Atrium

Garden Terrace

Newton, MA – Construction management firm Colantonio Inc. is planning a complex renovation of the entire 199-unit Golda Meir House in Newton while it remains in full operation.

Owned and managed by the Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly (JCHE), Golda Meir House is a nonsectarian, independent living community. The building’s two sections were built in 1978 and 1993, housing 124 and 75 units, respectively, with common areas on the ground floor. Each unit will get new kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, and finishes. New energy-efficient heating/cooling systems will be installed along with new energy-rated exterior windows. Twenty-two of the units will become fully accessible along with five units for the hearing impaired.

Bechtel Frank Ericson Architects reconfigured the ground floor common

areas — lobby, kitchen and dining areas, library, mail room, exercise room, and salon — to maximize the efficient use of space, flow, and natural light.

Building Engineering Resources, Inc. is designing the upgrades to the HVAC, fire suppression, plumbing, fire alarm, and electrical systems for the entire building.

Colantonio’s project team has brainstormed a plan to sequence the unit improvements and perform the work with minimal disruption to the lives of the Golda Meir House residents and to the facility’s operations. “Our approach will maximize the use of time and resources,” said preconstruction manager Chris Powers. “The goal is to touch each unit and common area as few times as possible. We want residents to get back to their normal lives as soon as they can.”

Construction work is expected to start summer of 2016.

The Right Team + The Right Plan = Exceptional Results How to Plan and Execute a Successful Move AIS: Abstract/Executive Summary PROJECT REVIEW Affordable Interior Systems (AIS) is a leading national manufacturer of commercial office furniture and seating.

The AIS culture is one of ingenuity and creativity in design and production – of always looking to do it better, faster, and less expensively.

In September of 2014, AIS moved into its new 600,000 SF manufacturing, distribution, and corporate office facility in Leominster, MA. Phase 1 of this move consisted of completing the design, engineering, and construction of 375,000 sf of this facility, then disconnecting and relocating approximately 85 pieces of production equipment and moving 12,000 pallets and containers of raw material, packaging, and finished goods. The move was completed in three phases: •

The distribution area was completed in one weekend.

•

The warehouse was completed over a one-month period.

WHY MOVE?

•

The manufacturing area was completed over a two-month timeframe.

The consequences of AIS having multiple locations were high intraplant transportation costs, poor communication between departments, resources not being shared, double and triple handling of products, and longer lead times.

As an added challenge, AIS’ largest shipping company went out of business during the week that the distribution area was moved.

Celebrating the Past, Welcoming the Future.

As Dacon Corporation celebrates this milestone anniversary, we are grateful to all who have shared in our committment to our client’s growth and success.

Retail/Hospitality What’s New at Fenway Park?

Aerial view of Fenway Park / D’Agostino Izzo Quirk Architects

Celebrating 25 Years of Survey & Engineering Excellence

Boston – New for the 2016 opening season, AHA Consulting Engineers, along with D’Agostino Izzo Quirk (D’AIQ) Architects and Gilbane, worked to create 222 more seats in Fenway Park’s rightfield pavilion seating area, located to the right of the Cumberland sign and below a stadium light fixture. AHA provided plumbing and electrical engineering design for this additional seating area.

For the 2015 season, AHA, D’AIQ Architects, and Gilbane Building Company added a 36-person suite, known as the Infiniti Suite. This suite is fully furnished, has a kitchenette, bathroom, and indoor/outdoor seating areas.

AHA provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire alarms for this addition.

Also created in 2015 and just outside the Infiniti Suite is Fenway Farms, a roof-top garden, started by Linda Henry, Red Sox Team owner, John Henry’s wife. Although relatively small in size, this garden produces lettuce, tomatoes, kale, broccoli, carrots, peppers, beans, cucumbers, eggplant, radishes, and herbs which are used in the concession areas within Fenway Park and the restaurant in the EMC Club. Recover Green Roofs from Somerville installed the planters and irrigation system, and Green City Growers, also of Somerville, planted and continue to maintain this roof-top garden.

What else has changed at Fenway Park since the major, 10-year, $285 million renovations and restorations period ended in 2011? The short answer

is, “a lot.” Keeping America’s favorite ballpark in pristine condition and able to accommodate growing numbers of fans and spectators every year is no small task.

AHA Consulting Engineers has been assisting on the Fenway Park renovations and expansions since 2009. Some of these post-major-renovation projects include adding the Royal Rooters visitors’ clubhouse and restrooms, right-field roof and monster corner expansions, first-base deck concessions, third-base deck bar and concession area, media and press level renovations, and visitor and home team locker rooms.

Campus Center Begins at Harvard University Cambridge MA – Construction recently began on the Richard A. and Susan F. Smith Campus Center for Harvard University. The new center will be located at the heart of the university campus, within the former Holyoke Center, designed by Josep Lluis Sert in the 1960s.

The project is part of a wider ongoing university “Common Spaces” initiative designed to ensure its physical spaces foster the campus’s intellectual, cultural, and social experience.

Hopkins Architects was appointed to the project following an international competitive selection process. The practice is partnering with a U.S. team that includes Bruner Cott of Cambridge, who recently completed the renaissance of Sert’s Boston University School of Law complex as executive architects; along with Arup, Faithful+Gould, Simpson Gumpertz & Heger and Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates.

The rejuvenated building will include an indoor multi-purpose gathering space for the whole university community and will also contain spaces for exhibitions, retail, food services, performances, study and events, as well as providing welcome and orientation for visitors and the public. It will also include enhanced outdoor public spaces with new gardens and landscaping and revamped plazas and seating areas.

Connecticut

Construction Begins on New Theater

Energize CT Delivers Huge Benefits New Britain, CT – More than 987,000 Connecticut residents, businesses, and municipalities took advantage of Energize Connecticut’s home and business energy efficiency solutions in 2015.

As a result, these consumers will collectively save nearly $1 billion in lifetime energy costs, according to the EEB’s 2015 Programs and Operations Report, released on March 1 to Connecticut’s General Assembly and other policymakers, energy efficiency advocates, and stakeholders throughout the state.

This annual report outlines how the Energy Efficiency Fund empowers the state’s residents, businesses, and municipalities to use energy more efficiently through Energize Connecticut program offerings provided by Eversource and The United Illuminating Company (UI), Connecticut Natural Gas, and Southern Connecticut Gas. “Our 2015 results demonstrate that energy efficiency is not only a critical energy resource that helps residents and businesses save money on their energy bills, but that it’s also a strong driver of job growth in our state,” said William E. Dornbos of the Acadia Center and chair

of the Connecticut EEB, “Our report estimates that the total 2015 investment in energy efficiency will create about 9,258 new in-state jobs.”

In 2015, 980,791 Connecticut households and 6,200 Connecticut businesses and municipalities took advantage of Energize CT solutions, realizing $968 million lifetime savings for consumers and lifetime energy savings of 4.6 billion kilowatt hours (kWh), 94.2 million ccf (one ccf equals 100 cubic feet), and 38.5 million gallons of fuel oil and propane and generating 9,258 jobs from 2015 energy efficiency investments.

The program also avoided greenhouse gas emissions of over 3.3 million tons for the lifetime of the measures (about the same as removing nearly 787,000 cars from the road for a year) and energy system benefits of $2.80 for every $1 invested in electric, natural gas, propane, and oil heat efficiency measures — a return on investment of 180% across all fuels.

Theater members and SLAM crew at groundbreaking ceremony

Rendering of Sea Tea Comedy Theater / The S/L/A/M Collaborative

Glastonbury, CT – Sea Tea Improv and The S/L/A/M Collaborative (SLAM) recently held a groundbreaking to mark the end of design and beginning of construction on Sea Tea’s new 3,800sf comedy theater.

After having entertained Hartford audiences in various venues, the comedy troupe was ready for a theater of its own.

In May, Sea Tea completed a kickstarter campaign to raise money to build the theater in downtown Hartford. Their goal was $35,000, but they ultimately raised over $60,000.

Impressed by SLAM’s entertainment portfolio, Sea Tea selected SLAM to help design and implement its vision. SLAM provided planning/programming, design, and documentation, and is currently

administering construction. Michael Galvin of Heartwood Home Renovations is the construction manager on the project, which is expected to be complete by the summer of 2016.

Located in the basement of 15 Asylum St. in Hartford, the newly renovated black box Sea Tea Comedy Theater will feature seating for 80 spectators (including ADA-compliant seating); a ticket window and refreshment area; new restrooms; a greenroom; audio/visual, acoustics, and lighting upgrades; and all new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Challenges on the project included tight column spacing, which called for a creative layout to prevent sightline problems, and the location of new ductwork based on limited ceiling headroom and existing utilities.

Building Success Through Performance.

KBE Completes Jordan’s Furniture Renovation to navigate around the printing press support structure where the “World’s Largest Indoor Adventure Ropes Course,” designed by Ropes Courses, Inc., would eventually reside.

The 60-foot wide, five-story high printing press support structure was “essentially a building inside of a building, complete with its own foundations, structural steel, and masonry walls,” said Moore. KBE had to remove the large, structural steel frame, in accordance with OSHA regulations, to proceed with the rest of the construction.

Eager locals await the grand opening of Jordan’s Furniture / photo by Chris Lawhorn

New Haven, CT – KBE Building Corp. recently completed the construction of Jordan’s Furniture, with an innovative entertainment package. KBE served as construction-manager-at-risk for the $17 million renovation, which began construction in April 2015 and opened to the public in December 2015. Access Construction is the owner’s representative.

The 193,000sf project, designed by architect BL Companies, consisted of a complete gut and renovation of an existing building, (two stories and mezzanines), formerly the home of the New Haven Register.

KBE and BL Companies transformed the previous newspaper headquarters into the furniture-entertainment hybrid, while also preserving the essence of the iconic building that had established itself as a New Haven staple.

Although the New Haven Register sign is no more, passersby will feel the same impact when gazing upon the new 68-foot tall Jordan’s Furniture sign, which features 315 individual aluminum chairs.

The building also housed unique structural aspects that posed many challenges for KBE project manager Adam Moore and his team. KBE had

WWW.GURNEYNE.COM 800.310.9526 Founded in 1955 as Gurney Engineering Corporation

Worcester, MA – Margulies Perruzzi Architects (MPA) announced the opening of ReadyMED PLUS, a new 14,000sf urgent care, diagnostic imaging and infusion suite facility, for Reliant Medical Group, a multispecialty healthcare system.

Located at 366 Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, ReadyMED PLUS is Reliant’s fifth walk-in medical care clinic in Central Massachusetts to offer convenient, nonemergency medical services for adults and children. Having collaborated on several prior ReadyMED facilities as well as other projects, Reliant engaged MPA and Cutler Associates, an integrated design and construction management firm based in Worcester, to design-build the facility.

MPA’s design splits the waiting area into two spaces, with one designated

for healthy infusion patients only and the larger main waiting area containing a child-friendly space. A wall of glass separates the waiting area from the clinical spaces, providing patients with a glimpse of activity. The interior finishes were chosen to give the waiting area a living room quality.

Mixed Use Harrison/Albany Project Proposed for Boston Neighborhood

Renderings by CBT Architects

Boston – Leggat McCall Properties, along with its joint venture partner MultiEmployer Property Trust (MEPT), filed an expanded Project Notification Form with the Boston Redevelopment Authority for 3.1 acres of land in the South End. The site was purchased from the Boston Medical Center in late 2014.

The Harrison Albany project will bring a state-of-the-art multifamily residential project, including 710 new apartments, to Boston’s burgeoning South End neighborhood. The development will bring additional activity and vitality into the community — rich in social diversity and culinary and modern arts.

Promoting the Mechanical Contracting Industry for

The proposed project will include two buildings ranging in height from 11 to 19 stories. The development site spans the block between Harrison Avenue and Albany Street, and between East Dedham Street and East Canton Street. In addition to the development of new buildings, the existing building at 575 Albany Street will be rehabilitated.

The project will add approximately 14,000sf of retail space and 40,000sf of office space, increase public open space, and provide a green promenade between the two residential buildings and a new public open space next to the Gambro building on Harrison Avenue. The existing parking lots will be removed and replaced with underground parking.

group needs.

When refreshing common areas in an existing multi-unit building, most of the considerations are the same as with new construction, save for a thorough assessment of existing conditions to determine any reuse opportunities.

Atelier 505 is a great example of high return on a well-planned and costeffective investment. As a touchstone for design and luxury living in Boston’s South End, the condo board recognized the need to update the common areas.

LDa was engaged to refresh, enliven, and

usher in the next phase of design in the building’s main lobby, residence halls, and gym. Timeless materials such as bronze, silver travertine, leather, and wood, as well as new European and custom light fixtures, contemporary art, and high-style furniture was selected to ensure that the new decor would be distinctively South End. Blending contemporary elements with the rich architectural backdrop of the building, LDa has created a singular space for the residents woven into the existing architecture that will last for years to come.

New Boston Ventures is currently developing The Boulevard, a new residential condominium development at 110 Broad Street along Downtown Boston’s Greenway. Collaborating with Finegold Alexander Architects and Campion and Company, LDa is designing the interiors for the common spaces and individual units. Recognizing the sophisticated tastes of its potential residents, common areas and amenity spaces include a grand lobby entrance, concierge desk, fitness center, shared mezzanine entertaining space with a catering kitchen, and a ground floor café

with indoor and outdoor seating.

The interior design strikes a balance between the more “old Boston” Bulfinch warehouse entry and the contemporary nods of the new 12-story tower. Our design scheme incorporates clean, sophisticated city aesthetics that are neither traditional “Beacon Hill” nor abstract, modern “New York.” Old-world materials, rich in tone and grain, will be applied in a more youthful, simplified, and approachable manner that will endure past the trends.

Bisnow Sustainable Development and Profit

Bisnow Hosts “How Sustainability in Development Can Impact the Bottom Line”

by Amy Davenport Boston — Bisnow recently held a sustainability and property management event at the Boston Harbor Hotel for over 250 attendees from the commercial real estate and development community.

The focus was on how to effectively implement and embrace sustainability while maximizing your property value through meeting tenant’s demands.

Mike Davis, president of Bergmeyer, opened the first panel discussion asking the question: “Where is the commercial market on green building and how is it capitalized?” He has been LEED AP certified since 2001 and was at the

original LEED conference.

Davis said, “Things have changed since then, architects have really drunk the Kool Aid now, it used to be that sustainability in design consulting was a special expertise and now all the architects know this.”

Robert Andrews, managing director of Cambridge AHA Consulting Engineers, explained that LEED Certification has now become extremely important to the community and investors. He said LEED definitely has value because within certain target locations LEED determines whether or not you even get your project completed.

In 2014, Jason Bansfield, Regional Portfolio Manager Samuels & Associates, who also participated in a panel discussion, spent 18 months developing the LEED Gold Certified Landmark Cente in 2014.

Davis pointed out that the cost of LEED Gold implementation on a building that was over a million square feet was only

BizNow’s Tyler Fisher addresses the crowd of over 250 attendees

$.07 per sq. ft. and it saved 35% off the energy bill, showing that when you have a large building a small savings can be a big number.

Deborah Dunning, the founder of Sphere-E, tried to expose the myth that sustainability is not profitable. She referenced the Index of the 100 Most Sustainable Cities in the World and pointed out that Boston was among the top 20 cities on the list in North America.

Other panelists touting the value of

sustainability included Luka Matutinovic, Built Ecology Practice Leader at WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff, Jeff Mooallem, SVP Federal Realty Investment Trust, Eric Anderson, Executive Vice President of Cummings Properties, Mark Giampa, GM Related Beal, Stephanie Williams, President of Bozzuto Management, and Lindsay Hyde, Founder of Baroo.

RDK vice president, Scott Shipp, PE, who led the Charlotte-based team on the project, and Carolinas HealthCare System vice president, Zachary Zapack, accepted the award at the Annual ASHE PDC

ASHE presents the prestigious Vista Awards each year to “recognize the importance of teamwork in creating an optimal healthcare physical environment.
