This session will enable you to-
• Discuss methods, based on case studies presented, that a project team can use to solicit input from end users and the community to ensure a hospital project responds to the community's shared sense of place.
• List three strategies based on information presented for keeping key community amenities, such as neighborhood and public space connections, from disappearing from the budget during the value engineering or value analysis process.
• Describe three approaches design teams can take, based on the examples provided, to maintain a community connection in facility planning and design.
• List evaluation techniques, based on examples given, that can be used to assess the impact a health care facility project can have on the surrounding community.
