Auburn University’s Wilford and Kate Bailey Small Animal Teaching Hospital—one of the largest teaching and referral veterinary hospitals in the U.S.—proved a challenge for construction manager Brasfield & Gorrie. In order to build the 208,000-sq-ft replacement hospital, which consists of clinical, examination and client-use space, the project team had to work in a tight urban site while keeping the existing veterinary ER operational. To manage the project’s tradespeople, the firm used a flow-and-grid pattern to coordinate material deliveries and other assignments.
