Organization and Facility Management Flashcards
who should be on the committee of professionals when designing a new facility?
administer, architect, contractor, lawyer, student-athlete, coach, instructors who will use the facility, sport conditioning experts
what are the four design phases?
pre-design phase (6 months; 25%) design phase (3 months; 10%) construction phase (12 months; 50%) preoperation phase (4 months; 15%)
pre-design phase
- planning committee analyses programs and services that will be provided so facility can meet needs
- needs analysis
- feasibility study –> strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT)
- master plan–project goals and procedures
- architect selection
design phase
- planning committee is finalized
- finalise blueprints
- equipment specifications included in design
construction phase
- construction is begun and completed
- master plan continuously consulted to ensure goals are being met
- deadlines must be set
- be present at job site to ensure design features are bing adhered to
preoperation phase
- process for hiring staff that meets standard hiring guidelines
- qualified staff are hired
- plan for continued staff development
assessing athletic program needs
- assess existing equipment on basis of needs of athletes and teams
- types of training each team needs?
- age group of athletes
- training experience of athletes
- when will resistance training fit into each athletic team’s schedule
- repairs and adaptations to equipment

consider bumper rails
replace immediately
other facility design considerations
drinking fountains near entrances not to impede flow and usability
telephones in offices
signage for operational policies, facility rules, safety guidelines
bulletin boards for communication
storage room: 100-300 square feet
