title: 'Leaner' approach shows its benefits.
abstract: Once viewed almost exclusively as temporary facilities built down to a cost, especially by the architectural community, modular off-site built healthcare buildings have enjoyed increasing success in recent years, as perceptions about their quality, and recognition of their advantages over "traditional" on-site constructed buildings, especially in terms of speed of build, reduced on-site disruption, future adaptability, and lower environmental impact, has spread.
