Pre-Design and Planning Seminars
for:
Organizations interested in
planning new facilities or remodeling existing structures.
Seminar leaders describe and explain planning and
design
activities needed for
building a new facility or remodeling an existing structure.
The Seminar is customized for a particular project and organization
such as education, health care, business, or recreation and leisure.
This
basic seminar is prepared
for selected stakeholders and leaders that want to
learn about the latest aspects of facility design and how they
influence behavior, productivity, attitudes, and achievement.

Why a Pre-Design and Planning Seminar?
Most organizations do not build facilities frequently enough, or
have a
full-time staff to stay informed
about the latest research-based designs that influence productivity,
behavior, attitude, and learning. We work closely with
stakeholders to
formulate a
plan
depicting what the ideal facility should be for their specific
needs.
With
facts presented in this
fast-paced seminar, participants will be
better prepared to
make sound
decisions regarding the built physical environment. Beyond the
seminar, UGA personnel may work with an organization through the
entire project to ensure that stakeholders get the facility that they
need and want.
There are many organizations that never received what the
stakeholders
wanted and what management thought it was paying for. That is,
owners have often paid for
something they did
not get.
Ideally,
stakeholders should experience this
activity before
they launch a capital project; and before an
architect is hired. The seminar will provide participants with
knowledge regarding how to communicate their selection of the latest
research-based designs to architects, engineers, and contractors.
Students taking courses in facilities planning, design, and management
at UGA will experience extensive pre-design activities and
assignments. Advanced graduate students my accompany UGA staff in
real-time seminars and
workshops.
The minimum time to
complete this seminar is 2 hours.
