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.
