Challenge Design-Build Project Delivery Addressed

The owner chose design-build delivery for the Maryland Proton Treatment Center so that they would have single source accountability for the design and construction of the facility. Their goal was to minimize change orders and maximize coordination between design, construction and the proton equipment vendor.
