Developing a facility strategy.

Successful planning for capital investment relies upon the ability of the management team to establish a cogent and comprehensive direction for facility development. The selection of an appropriate strategy integrates multiple issues: mission, service needs of the community, the external environment, the organization's ethos, current physical resources, operational systems, and vision. This paper will identify and discuss key components and data integral to formulating a facility strategy that outlines the basic direction for developing a facility master plan. The process itself will be presented as a working methodology that can be applied to the organization's resources and vision to generate a coherent facility strategy.

The impact of aging infrastructure and site on facility planning.

Infrastructure analysis should be a basic component of the facility master plan and specific information concerning the site and facility must be collected, evaluated, and analyzed at each phase of development of the master plan. The interpretation of such information can significantly impact the visibility of design solutions, department locations, construction phasing, and costs. This paper identifies the information to be collected, its potential impact on the master plan, and the facility manager's role during the planning process.
