How do I determine how much space I might need?

Answer: 

The space assessment is usually completed by an architect with input from the Provider on how spaces are used for both tasks and overall workflow. The result is a comprehensive listing of every room and/or space in the facility, its estimated square footage, and additional space required for circulation, mechanical, and utilities that is balanced with codes, guidelines and other requirements. You should consider your future operating vision, as well as several scenarios of what might change in 10 years to understand how your vision differs from the present and what to consider for flexibility.
