Design : Where to Start • • • •
Visioning Programming / Space Planning Feasibility Test fit plans
Programming • Organization • Adjacencies and efficiencies • Workstation standards • Custom employee surveys
• Personal interviews • Projections • Future flexibility • Equipment needs
Schematic Design • Study concepts + options • Further understand the program • Adjacencies • Test fit plans • Choose a scheme to develop
