Space Optimization Planning: A Practical Alternative to a Facility Master Plan
St. Joseph’s Bangor completed a well-documented Facilities Master Plan that proposed an “ideal facility solution,” but it was not tied to financial capacity nor strategic and funding priorities. This case study will review a community hospital “space optimization plan” that was concurrently more strategic and more practical than a typical facilities master plan and will facilitate a discussion about the pros and cons of alternative approaches.
