The Medical Center must maintain its operation 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
Therefore, any interruption in service must be scheduled and coordinated with the COR to ensure that no lapses in operation occur. The projects’ different tracks have been clearly phased out in contract documents. A so called “swing” space is provided to accommodate a part of Pathology laboratory in temporary location while the new location is under construction.
