2012
BSA LifeStructures
ANNUAL REPORT
Our clients had a great year in 2012. Some were recognized by national news outlets for delivering exemplary healthcare services, others for providing unparalleled learning opportunities to students, and still others for their groundbreaking medical discoveries that improve the lives of people all over the world. But why am I using this space to talk about our clients’ successes rather than our own? Because at BSA LifeStructures, we know our growth is linked to the triumphs of our clients and our long-term success will come from helping clients like you achieve their goals. As such, we take a certain pride in your accomplishments.
The Presidential Perspective The Secret to our Success? You.
The value of this philosophy has been supported by our 2012 growth. Over the past year, we not only added 27 employees, we also opened our fourth office location, in Austin, Texas. Austin gives us an ideal base from which to serve new clients in Texas and throughout the Southwest. We look forward to developing new relationships and having the opportunity to apply LifeStructures metrics and our trademarked evidence-based design to helping even more clients have measurable outcomes in hospitals, learning environments and research facilities. While some of our recent work is highlighted in this publication, it only tells part of a larger story that revolves around creating inspired solutions that improve lives. And that larger story is built on the belief that great opportunities and great projects come from working with great clients. As such, we know our success is directly related to the valued partnerships we have forged over 36 years and the relationships that help us create value through innovative design. Please take some time to review this information, and let us know if something here intrigues you or inspires you or simply raises some questions, because, while we know that nothing gets done without communication, we also know that no communication is complete if it’s one-sided. So let us know what you think. Our conversation will help us better serve you and our other clients and partners. And, most important, as you learn about some of our projects from the past year, please accept our gratitude. You helped make 2012 a banner year for BSA LifeStructures. For that, we thank you, and we look forward to continuing to help you reach your goals in 2013 and beyond.

St. Mary’s Good Samaritan Inc.
Innovation that redefines healing The Good Samaritan Regional Health Center brings updated and comprehensive medical care to the Mt. Vernon, Illinois, community. The 134-bed acute care facility has reduced the distance of the patient beds to the bathrooms, added lifts to most patient rooms and equipped the caregiver stations with advanced call systems for efficient communication. These innovative features improve patient safety and increase caregiver response time.

Filtered fume hoods create an energy efficient and cost effective solution
Butler University
At forty years old, the chemistry labs in Gallahue Hall needed a renovation to modernize the learning environment, improve indoor air quality and reduce operating costs. The labs offered extremely limited space for HVAC expansion and the project had to be finished before students
Overall, the fume hoods achieved four main outcomes:
1
Reduced building system load
2
Shortened design and construction time
3
Easier to maintain
4
Future flexibility through mobility
returned for the fall semester. The use of filtered fume hoods cut construction time by three months and offered a $51,220 reduction in yearly operating costs versus traditional hoods. Gallahue Hall

FEMA Best Practice Flood Design Protects Hospital and Patients
How LifeStructures are Improving Lives Projects in 2012

Columbus Regional Hospital
BSA LifeStructures designed a passive flood gate system that removes the need for power or human interaction to raise the flood gate. The wall is composed of a series of flood gates that line each pedestrian and vehicular entrance point into the hospital. The water’s buoyancy will trigger the flood gates to protect the hospital. The new flood wall system was designed to protect the hospital from future flood events similar to the 2008 flood that shut the hospital down for four months and resulted in $171 million in damages to the hospital.
