Develop a Project

For projects involving new cases or scenarios, we must have at least 3 months notice prior to the start date. The center operates at a full or near to full capacity almost year round, so it is imperative to try and plan ahead when possible.

For projects using pre-existing cases and/or scenarios, there is some flexibility in the timeline, but generally speaking we like to schedule everything at least three months in advance.

For questions regarding new projects, please contact:
