Frequently asked questions
What is a hospital master facility plan?
- A master facility plan is a long-range plan for how a hospital or system's physical assets will evolve — service by service, building by building — to support the strategic direction over ten to twenty years.
How is space programming different from architectural design?
- Space programming defines the sizes, adjacencies, and functional requirements of the spaces a project needs before design begins. It's the bridge between clinical operations and architecture.
Does PDA design buildings?
- No. PDA is a planning firm — we produce the master plans, functional programs, and capital priorities that architects, engineers, and construction managers then execute.
