Every hospital, outpatient, and residential facility you've stepped foot in or driven past started with an idea. On today's episode, Ken Cates, cofounder and principal of Northstar Management Company, talks about the importance of not leaping from idea straight to design (as is often the tendency) but instead utilizing the functional program as a way of gathering input from all stakeholders and clearly identifying the purpose of the space.  

This episode is sponsored by Northstar Management Company: "Smart Builds Start With Us."
