Pre-design Phase
The planning committee analyzes the programs and services that will be provided to athletes so that the facility is built to meet program needs. The greatest priority when designing a facility is completing a NEEDS ANALYSIS. A FEASIBILITY STUDY is conducted to determine costs, facility location, programs of interest to each athletic group and projected usage. SWOT is often a primary task of a feasibility study. (Strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats).
27
Design Phase
Finalization of design and planning committees, facility blueprints and equipment selection. Facility spacing is designed to be user friendly, taking into consideration health codes, safety codes,legal codes and traffic flows.
28
Construction Phase

The strength and conditioning professional and the planning committee should be present on the job site as often as possible during the construction phase to make sure the design features are being adhered to
29
Pre-operation Phase
A process for selecting staff that meets standard hiring guidelines is created. Qualified staff is hired. For each position, the staff should have an appropriate level of education, employment experience, and certification. A plan for continued staff development, including continuing education, in-service training, and advanced credentialing is developed.
30
Strength facility Designs
Should be on ground floor. Second floor must be able to withstand 100 lb / ft^2 Supervision office should be located centrally with large windows to allow clear view of facility Free and unbstructed access to entrences, exits and walkways. NEED double doors with removable middle pole, Emergency must be clearly marked and free of obstructions Ceiling height needs to be 12-14 ft with 75- 100 foot candles Flooring can be Carpet, Rubberized floor, or Poured rubber. Carpet is cheapest not good absorber, Rubberized floor is more expensive and more durable than carpet good shock absorber, Poured rubber is most expensive, very durable and easy to clean. Windows and mirrors need to be 20 inches off the ground High windows and skylight should not be over supine stations to prevent glare Gym temp should be 72-78 degrees at all time. Strength facility should have OWN controls. Humidity should be 60% or less Air circulation should be 8 - 12 exchanges per hour with 12 - 15 optimal Electrical should be grounded 110 v and 220 v. Plan must identify the electrical requirement of all equipment Drinking fountains should be easily accessible but not hamper traffic flow Restroom should be near or in the facility Telephones must be available to staff for emergency use. Signs should display policies rules, and safety guidelines Storage facility should be available for cleaning and maintenance items such as unused equipment.
31
Arranging Equipment In Facility
Olympic Platforms should be placed away from windows, mirrors, exits, and entrances to avoid breakage of glass, distraction or collision with equipment or athletes. Tall Machines should be arranged along walls (squat racks, power racks, lat pulldown, smith machines) Dumbbell racks should be against the walls Barbell and dumbbells should be a minimum of 36 in between bar ends for ease of movement without obstruction Weight trees should be close to plate loading equipment Equipment should be at least 6 inches from mirrors
