Oakwell was born from a collaboration between Boston Medical Center Health System and Omicelo, a private investment group. By bringing engineering, financing, real estate, project delivery, and sustainability under one team, Oakwell transforms campus infrastructure to unlock significant savings that help fund your institution's mission.
We partner with hospitals and universities to Discover, Design, Deliver, and Finance high-ROI infrastructure projects that expand access to healthcare and education.
Boston Medical Center overall reduction in consumption & emissions as patient volumes rise = $500+ million in savings
Indexed to 100, 2011 = 100%
The Engineer Perspective
"By aligning infrastructure planning with real estate strategy, Oakwell engineers established a campus-wide systems approach, replacing fragmented, building-by-building MEP investments. The result was improved asset utilization and a lower total cost of infrastructure deployment and operation."
Jack Nelson, P.E.
EVP, Head of Engineering, Oakwell
The Owner Perspective
“Most institutions procure every project as a one-off effort — which means a new team, a new learning curve, and a new set of risks each time. Oakwell’s long-term infrastructure partnership model gives owners the right team with preserved context, aligned incentives, and a shared commitment to the institution’s mission — project after project.”
