EPISODE THREE

In this series of webinars, called Project Profiles, the GPA teams of ESCO (Southeast Asia), AVEX (The Netherlands) and Forté (USA) discuss the reasons why they chose NETGEAR AV-over-IP switching for a couple of very large projects with multinationals. In three episodes, the GPA experts will discuss integration projects at Global Foundries, CBRE, Nieuwegein Business Centre, Mayo Clinic and Applied Materials.

Hear from the designers themselves what technical choices they made, the best practices they share and how the projects became so successful.

Your hosts in this episode are Meche Vázquez (Partner Coordinator, GPA), Richard Jonker (VP marketing & Business Development, NETGEAR) and presenting on behalf of Forté (AVI Systems) are Mike Wallin, CTS-D, Principal Design Engineer and Shawn Wallin, UC Deployment Engineer at AVI Systems.

MAYO CLINIC

The Integrated Education and Research Building (IERB) is Mayo Clinic’s largest and most visionary campus expansion project. It marks the conclusion of this monumental capital expansion, which more than doubled the campus square footage and offers expanded capacity and new capabilities. A defining hallmark is the 150,000-square-foot Integrated Education and Research Building, which celebrates the ingenuity of teamwork that has characterised Mayo Clinic since its inception.

The building on Mayo Clinic’s Phoenix campus greatly expands education and research space for a seamless transition from biomedical education and research to patient care. Here, students and trainees will learn alongside physicians and researchers, gain hands-on experience, and expand their network of peers. Scientists, students, and trainees are challenged to pioneer new scientific discoveries and given access to the resources and support to make that possible. Discoveries made through this integrated approach will enhance how people experience Mayo Clinic care, whether at one of our physical locations or virtually. This unified location for education and research allows for intentional collaboration with each other and new and existing partners, such as Arizona State University. The three-story building expands Mayo’s education and research collaboration with the practice to better serve patients’ complex unmet needs.

VIDEO CASE

Education

The IERB is home to the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science and its five schools: the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, the Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education, the Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences, the Mayo Clinic School of Biomedical Sciences, and the Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development. Approximately 45,000 square feet is dedicated to Education

• Two 60-person classrooms and two 30-person classrooms

• Six smaller classrooms (10-person capacity)

• Objective Structured Clinical Examination suite, including six simulation exam rooms

• Library space with:

• 10 individual study rooms

• Four group study rooms

• Sectra anatomy table

• Anatomical models

• Physical and e-book resources

• More than a dozen conference rooms

• Small event center with 120-person capacity

• Center for Procedural Innovation Lab and 60-person classroom

• Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences students have access to the 20 wet labs for research

• Virtual reality room

RESEARCH

The research facilities of the Mayo Clinic are one of the world’s larges and most advanced facilities:

• 45,000 square-feet of new research laboratory space for Mayo Clinic Arizona

• Total laboratory space to house 25-30 investigators, including career scientists, clinician investigators, and clinicians engaged in research

• Specialised facilities for flow cytometry, single-cell analytics, and genomic analysis

• Cutting-edge imaging capabilities, including two-photon microscopy, live-cell imaging, spinning disk confocal imaging, and light-sheet microscopy

• Integration with learners in the Mayo Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine will allow Ph.D., M.D., and M.D./Ph.D. students to work directly with Mayo Clinic scientists

• State-of-the-art conferencing facilities to promote collaborations within the Mayo Clinic and around the world.

Forté was invited to design and build a 60-person divide & combine training room for full group training, 12-camera Teams meetings, 19 break-out pods, overflow from the Event space, and full flexibility with on-the-fly changes to the layout. The completed project runs entirely on NETGEAR AV switching. In the webinar recording, Mike Wallin and Shawn Wallin take you through the design process and explain why they chose NETGEAR AV switches.
