FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Critical Facilities Summit Announces Facility Tours

September 18, 2017 — Milwaukee — The Critical Facilities Summit, an educational event focused on leading trends and best practices in the design, construction, engineering and management of data centers, hospitals, universities, labs, financials, and all mission critical facilities, announced the addition of facility tours to the Summit's agenda. The conference and product expo will be held October 23-25 in Minneapolis, MN.

Tour of St. Cloud Hospital
St. Cloud Hospital has been named a 100 Top Hospital by Truven Health Analytics more than any other hospital in Minnesota. With a history that reaches back over 130 years, the regional medical center has evolved to meet the needs of the more than two dozen counties that it serves, and its facilities have kept pace: As recently as 2012 a 360,000 square-foot, $223 million project ushered in new approaches to air handling, innovative CAD-BIM applications, and chiller/cooling tower relocation and installations.

Tour of Target Field — Home of the Minnesota Twins
Target Field is one of five baseball stadiums in the U.S. to be awarded with a LEED certification. This 90-minute tour will cover the environmental and sustainability features of the stadium. Plus, you'll go behind the scenes to see mechanical rooms and other areas of the stadium guests normally don't get to visit.

Tour of Hennepin County Medical Center
Hennepin County Medical Center's Clinic and Specialty Center will open its doors in a few months, marking the first new building on HCMC's expanded campus in 50 years. Critical Facilities Summit attendees have the unique opportunity to tour the facility as it nears completion and gain insights into the "experience-based design" concepts that were applied in bringing technology and infrastructure together in a rapidly changing healthcare environment.

All tours are free to Critical Facilities Summit full conference registrants/end users. The Summit, now in its 5th year, will be held October 23-25 in Minneapolis, MN and includes workshops, keynotes, educational sessions and an expo hall with the newest products and technologies.
