“This workshop was done very well. I enjoyed the fact that the presenters would cycle around the groups and interject information at key points, and also just sit and spitball ideas with us.  Enjoyed the visonary presentations that were refreshingly executed.”
2014 Functional Program Workshop attendee 

How important is the functional program really?   

This workshop will provide a complete understanding of not only what the functional program is, but how it can affect every aspect of the experience you are creating in your design.  Attendees will have the opportunity to work with The Center for Health Design’s Environmental Standards Council (ESC) to understand how the functional program should be created with an interdisciplinary team, is an opportunity for innovation and can be used as a basis to identify preliminary project costs. 

More workshop information can be found here.

Workshop attendees are invited to stay for Health Design Insights networking event with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres immedidately following the workshop.
