ProMedica Fremont Memorial Hospital teamed with SSOE Group to design and establish a full-service cancer center to meet the needs of the communities it serves. This new facility offers more convenient access, enhanced privacy, and improved comfort for patients. The center offers the latest protocols for medical oncology, as well as the newest technology in radiation oncology, including a Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator. The design included eight chemotherapy infusion bays, dosimetry, CT simulator, new pharmacy to comply with USP 797 and USP 800 general chapters, laboratory and blood draw, four exam rooms, three nurse stations, and additional staff support spaces. Additional cancer-care services, such as genetic, dietary and family counseling, and rehabilitation services are included in the overall design of this facility.
SSOE was instrumental in aligning the hospital’s programmatic goals with the limited project construction budget, and worked through multiple design options with hospital leadership to minimize the amount of construction within the new facility. Project goals were accomplished by prioritizing necessary patient care spaces, such as linear accelerator vault, infusion bays, exam / treatment spaces, pharmacy and laboratory. Plans also included repurposing some staff areas to minimize demolition, while allowing staff to work contiguously and efficiently within these support spaces. SSOE led the design process from the onset of the project and confirmed and validated strategic and operational plans; determined budgetary and scheduling constraints; and coordinated the overall project quality with consultant engineers, and coordinated equipment layouts, requirements, and manufacturer specifications for specialized equipment. Existing conditions and capacities to projected needs to satisfy functionality, adequacy of spaces, and operational adjacencies were also compared.

We found ourselves in need of a more robust tool to enhance resource forecasting and staff assignment capabilities. Instead of waiting for the perfect tool, we’re building it. SSOE’s in-house technology team has developed and piloted a tool that aims to forecast optimal staff mix and duration for new projects against existing workload to better understand capacity and manage resources efficiently. Additionally, the tool will allow teams to identify gaps to optimal staff mix.
SSOE has developed a proof-of-concept to use an AI Agent to act as a Master Engineer and Architect trained in SSOE’s processes, best-known-methods, and trainings. Our data structure is being remodeled to enable better use of our proprietary knowledge to train the agent on the ‘SSOE way’.
We helped our client visualize and optimize façade design for occupant comfort—long before breaking ground through the use of the Autodesk Forma tool. It allows the designer to rapidly experiment with the building’s geometry and façade design to promote sustainability, prioritizing quality of spaces and comfort for end uses, especially in extreme climates (daylighting and microclimate analysis tools) at the project’s exact geographic location, using location-specific environmental data.

Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) is SSOE’s enterprise-wide project delivery platform. We partner with the Autodesk Product team and have research access. Use of the AI Assistant allows our design teams, owners, and general contractors the ability to query the project specifications for quality, answers, and more rapid responses to RFIs, submittals, or issues.
SSOE is utilizing Microsoft Copilot to significantly enhance work efficiency and accuracy across various departments. Copilot is accessible to all staff after training. Key areas of application include using it as a writing assistant, for idea generation, document summarization and generation, research assistant, excel assistant, programming code assistant, language translations, product comparison and data analysis. Use of Copilot has become part of the everyday life of SSOE employees who have identified key ways it can help them become more efficient with their daily tasks as well as more accurate in their deliverables.
Today, 75% of SSOE employees are have taken the training and have access to Copilot, with a goal of 100% of employees using Copilot by October 1, 2025.
SSOE is actively piloting AI copilots that use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to streamline both design and development tasks, transforming how our teams interact with software and each other.
By integrating copilot engines into platforms like Revit and GitHub, we’re enabling users to prompt complex actions using simple, conversational commands. In Revit, this means automating tasks such as cleaning up parameter data, managing annotations and dimensions, and organizing sheets—without writing scripts. These automations can be shared across project teams, accelerating workflows and reducing manual effort.
Similarly, our internal Software Development Community is leveraging GitHub Copilot to expedite coding tasks. Developers can generate and refine code using NLP prompts, tapping into GitHub’s enterprise knowledge base to move faster from concept to implementation.
Together, these tools represent a shift from traditional, expert-driven scripting to intuitive, AI-assisted collaboration, unlocking new levels of efficiency and scalability across our projects.
