The hospital administration has asked you, the project lead for the department expansion project, for additional information on your facility as well as sustainability recommendations. You realize this important part of facility design is your responsibility. Digging deeper into the GSA website, you analyze health care facility designs from the perspective of sustainability.
Preparation
Familiarize yourself with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Sustainable Facilities Tool website.
Using the University Library, CMS.gov, or Google Scholar, research the elements required to support the sustainability of your facility.
Assessment Deliverable
Create a 12- to 15-slide presentation to the board of directors as it relates to the facility you are designing.
Note: Continue using the facility you chose in Week 2.
Include the following in your presentation:
- Describe the strategic and appropriate floor planning.
- Analyze the purpose and needs of your planned health care facility.
- Identify the necessary assets of your health care facility, such as furniture and equipment.
- Based on the GSA Sustainable Facilities Tool, make a recommendation on maximizing the economic, social, and environmental sustainability of your health care facility.
Include a title slide, a reference slide, and detailed speaker notes of at least 50 words per slide.
