Matrix Planning Associates: Strategic Planning

Profile People Clients Approach Services Recent Projects Experience Opportunities Contact		Strategic Planning Once the need for facilities is established, Matrix helps to determine how to meet the need. We may prepare estimates of the size and anticipated cost of facilities. Development alternatives, such as combinations of new construction and re-use of existing facilities, may be considered and tested for economic feasibility. Our analysis may be expanded to include the operational cost impacts of program alternatives. The result of Stage 2, often called a Development Plan, answers key questions related to the provision of facilities: What functions will be accommodated? What is the appropriate size for those facilities? What will the facilities cost? Where will they be located? The Needs Assessment and Strategic Planning Stages often are conducted concurrently, since the options available can influence the services delivered. Many of our projects have focused on the re-use of heritage buildings such as courthouses. This has including examining the implications of the historic designation, identifying criteria for the selection of an appropriate tenant, preparing urban design guidelines, developing a facilities program for the proposed tenant, and illustrating how the requirements could be met within the physical constraints of the building.
