Every owner deservedly expects to have an interior that will meet their objectives; promote health, well-being, be aesthetically pleasing, durable, and maintainable while creating a safe environment. This session will explore using a systematic approach, such as commissioning, which can help facilitate success for a functional interior system, design elements, and components that support the aesthetics and effective care delivery.
