"Communicating Spaces – Openness for Design and Compliance for Life Safety"
Author: Stephen Harris, University of Texas System
Date: January/February 2024

Within the boundaries of building facility programming, users and design teams often focus on the assignable spaces that represent a person, entity, or specific programmatic function. Critical thinking should be placed on the campus’s qualitative goals, alignment with the master plan, engagement of mission, and solutions to improve workspace or culture, which can prompt inclusion of open or unassigned spaces. A good practice is to engage in a deep roundtable discussion before programming begins to define what is required for a project to be successful.
