Proposals are then evaluated in terms of functional deficiencies, zoning and departmental relationships, circulation and flow analysis, capacity of support services, and efficacy of proposed communication and data processing systems. Once the spatial configuration of the facility is determined by a selected space program, base drawings of the floor layout plans are prepared.
