As the team grew to include eight prime design firms, meetings in “big rooms” kept challenges small, according to the submission, as stakeholders were able to distill and streamline solutions, improve issue resolution and cut times for submittals and requests for information, which also drove staff accountability. This approach also improved the team’s ability to act quickly in times of emergency.
