Facilities Programming
We work closely with clients to define facilities requirements for new or redeveloped facilities by:
- Confirming the programs to be accommodated and services to be provided.
- Resolving operational issues that may affect facilities.
- Developing forecasts of the numbers of staff and clients to be accommodated.
- Preparing detailed lists of spaces and area requirements.
- Assessing the need for physical proximity between spaces.
- Identifying necessary equipment and furniture.
- Specifying building design and site development guidelines.
- Adjusting the requirements meet the available capital budget.
Stage 3 results in the production of a Facilities Program (sometimes called an Architectural Program) which outlines building requirements as a basis for conceptual design and detailed design development by the project architects. Our approach and documentation is tailored to the scale, urgency, and other specific parameters of each project. We may also conduct architects' briefing sessions and work with the architects during the design phase.
