12,500 square feet, 3 permits, 2 phases, 1 year. In September 2023, the Yellowhawk Tribal Health Center Expansion team embarked on a high-stakes mission in service of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR): to design and construct four distinct program areas within an active healthcare facility in Pendleton, Oregon, all within a strict one-year timeline. In September 2024, the team achieved Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO), successfully navigating the intense schedule by leveraging the core principals of Design-Build Done Right. This journey involved strategic team selection, ongoing user engagement, rigorous communication tools, strong owner decision-making, a strong target value design workflow, timely site investigations, and meticulous construction planning—though not without some hard-earned scars. Join Yellowhawk (owner), NBBJ (architect), BNBuilders (design-builder), and Akana (structural, landscape, civil) as they share their insights, tools, and lessons-learned for meeting the challenges and avoiding diminishing returns for fast-tracked design-build projects. The presentation will include tools and strategies for project teams facing challenging schedules, as well as an in-depth discussion of trade-offs and obstacles for owners considering design-build within strict schedule constraints.
