It uses repurposed shipping containers to create plug-in Intensive-Care Units (ICU) with biocontainment through negative pressure.

This was an early participation by BIMStorm to connect BIM, GIS, Sensors, and other data with many participants using Open Geospatial Consortium Open Web Services. One of the first demonstrations of connecting BIM and GIS in real-time.
