Session 2 - A Robust Planning Process Paves the Way for Design & Construction Success
Before construction. Before design. Before programming. There’s project planning. The first step in the capital project lifecycle can often get short-changed in the rush to address immediate space needs. Hear how UT redefined the capital project planning process, developing a more robust approach and strategic, long-term viewpoint to pave the way for smoother design and construction delivery.
