Lessons Learned

Space…the Limiting Frontier

•Build it bigger than you think you need!

•When designing your building, don’t trade

functionality for cuteness.

•Co-locate with an anchor tenant that adds value

to your mission.

Human Dimensions

• Make sure you have the right people for what industry needs.

• Be prepared to balance and re-balance the scope of your client(s).

Different stakeholders have varied expectations & capacity to keep your

budget in the black.
