Understanding Pressure Relationships in Healthcare Construction: A Guide to Negative Pressurization Why Pressurization Matters Airflow control is a critical element of infection prevention in healthcare construction and renovation. Proper ventilation not only helps remove dust and debris but also plays a vital role in preventing airborne contaminants from spreading into patient care areas. A key […]

When working in occupied healthcare environments, protecting patients from airborne contaminants during construction, renovation, or maintenance is critical. The Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) process has long been the standard framework for identifying and mitigating those risks.

LSU overcame infrastructure and timeline challenges by deploying over 500 portable air purifiers across campus in under 12 weeks. This case study shows how smart, fast action helped meet air quality standards, reduce airborne risk, and support a safe return to in-person learning.
