Читать книгу Professional Practice for Interior Designers - Christine M. Piotrowski - Страница 112

Many corporations and institutional organizations realize the economic benefit of having their own planning and design team. Facility planners are part of the facility management department, which is responsible for the physical plant (the building and its systems). The facility management department ensures that everything involved in the business—building, equipment, and people—is organized and arranged to best function together to meet the management's goals.

Designers might work as facility planners or be hired by the corporation to work with in‐house facility planners. Specialized degrees in facility planning are available, but many facility planners are interior designers or architects.

The job of facility manager, sometimes in the same department as a facility planner, is a more specialized career and requires additional training in psychology, physical plant management, and engineering.
