Lake Erie Electric worked closely with other trades to coordinate pre-fabricated corridor racks, bathroom pods, and patient headwalls that were assembled in an off-site warehouse, shipped to the jobsite, then hoisted and set in their final location. This offered many cost and schedule benefits to the project including increased efficiencies, fewer mistakes and less re-work stemming from repetitive process of prefabrication.
