The Life of a Public Building Project can be summarized in 3 sentences: The process begins with identifying a potential need for a public project and engaging the public through feasibility studies and location analysis. Next, the pre-design phase involves selecting teams, sites, and programming while continuing public engagement. Finally, the project progresses through design, construction, and post-construction which includes public involvement at each stage to get approvals, provide status updates, and have a final open house.
