Predesign
What is a predesign?
Predesign is a process resulting in a document that defines the programmatic, physical, and financial elements of an individual capital project. The predesign also assesses the project impacts on the broader environment, prior to initiating design work. Preparation of a predesign is a collaborative effort of the college or university that is proposing the project, the faculty and staff who will use the facility, and system staff.
Most projects that are funded by general obligation or revenue bonds require a predesign, although requirements vary, depending on the complexity and scope of a particular project.
