University of Washington medical campus expansion

The University of Washington medical campus expansion at South Lake Union is a $310M project in a dense urban setting with multi-year construction phasing. Urban medical campuses demand perimeter security during active construction (patient and pedestrian traffic cannot mix with construction zones), camera arrays for equipment laydown and contractor vehicle monitoring, and likely vehicle barriers to segregate construction entrances from operational hospital access. The project value is substantial enough to support integrated security infrastructure rather than ad hoc solutions. The announcement posted April 12 via GeekWire. At this stage, the project sits in early planning before budget formalization. This is the optimal engagement window: UW's facilities and security teams are still defining scope and vendor shortlists have not closed. Once the security line item is set, displacing a preferred vendor is difficult. Pre-budget timing gives Zedcor an opportunity to shape the specification rather than respond to it. Seattle branch sits 3 miles from the South Lake Union site, well inside the 300-mile coverage radius. The recommended first move is to identify UW's director of campus security or the facilities VP responsible for South Lake Union and propose a 15-minute conversation about phased perimeter security and camera coverage during multi-year construction in an active medical setting. Urban jobsites with patient adjacency require higher security standards than typical commercial construction, which favors integrated surveillance over generic guard services.

  Saw the South Lake Union medical campus expansion announcement April 12. Seattle branch is 3 miles out, worth a quick call on phased perimeter and camera coverage for multi-year construction in an active hospital zone?
