Program of Requirements (POR)

Template Overview

This template outlines the structure for your final Program of Requirements submission. It aggregates data from your stakeholder analysis, room data sheets, and adjacency studies into a cohesive narrative for the design team.

Key Sections

1. Executive Summary: High-level overview of the project scope and goals.
2. Vision & Mission: The "Why" behind the facility.
3. Design Principles: 3-5 core drivers (e.g., "Transparency," "Flexibility").
4. Space Program: Quantitative list of all spaces with areas.
5. Functional Relationships: Adjacency diagrams and flow analysis.
6. Technical Requirements: Summary of major M/E/P needs.
