DETAILED FACILITY PROGRAM
Using
the Summary Program as an index, a Detailed Facility Program is developed.
Prepared with the involvement of those who will be using and operating
the building, the Detailed Facility Program describes each functional
space in appropriate detail. It establishes design criteria and standards.
It reaffirms construction and project cost budget targets.
This
document will include general space descriptions, architectural characteristics,
building system characteristics, access and spatial relationships, and
special furnishings and equipment. See the sample page that follows.

Another
useful program component is a space relationship diagram that graphically
shows required space adjacencies. See the sample below. This type of diagram
confirms the relationship of one space to another, and can be valuable
as a means for both user and architect to understand space adjacencies.
The
primary audience for the detailed facility program is the architect and
engineering team. For the school, this document clarifies expectations.
It also provides a management tool for reviewing designs and documents
at each step of the design and construction cycle to be sure that the
program requirements, the design, and the costs are in balance with each
other.
