With wayfinding and knowledge of the ADA, management
and maintenance design is a core competency and leading responsibility

system is incorporated into the overall design work. This course
begins with an overview of the leading environmental issues that
can affect your designs, and establishes a planning and design structure
for all design work. The focus is on both interior and exterior
maintenance and management issues and establishing a maintenance
and management template for a variety of interior and exterior projects.
