Creating Human-Centered, Healing Environments
Altus' approach encourages dialogue and collaboration to invest end-users in the overall design process. Because of the ever-changing environment, healthcare design must be flexible and forward thinking to meet shifting needs and budgetary constraints. Evidence-based design, LEAN principles and the use of technology to optimize the planning process drives efficiencies and quality results for clients.

It's a long-term strategy that is flexible enough to evolve as client needs and industry challenges change. Altus has broad experience completing Master Planning for healthcare organizations of all sizes, from small critical access and community hospitals, to large academic medical campuses.
Rapid change in the healthcare industry requires organizations to be agile and flexible. We believe master plans should be the same. Altus can help your organization meet today's needs while keeping a clear eye on the future.

Facility Assessments
Budgets and Capital Planning require accurate data to make informed decisions.
A Facility Condition Assessment (FAC) is an analysis of the condition of a facility in terms of age, design, construction methods and materials. With limited capital available for facility construction projects, it's more important than ever before to have a robust master plan in place to help guide strategic growth decisions.
Altus' proprietary technology expedites and accurately captures facility condition data so you can make informed, timely decisions.
- Current condition of internal assets (casework, ceilings, windows, doors, flooring)
- Current condition of external assets (roofing, boilers, motors)
- Cost estimation for deferred maintenance backlog
- Forecast of effective age and future lifespan of assets
- Identification of code deficiencies
- Data-driven capital planning recommendations
