The Functional Program Templates are optional tools facilities may use to help meet the construction requirements at OAC 310:667 for Hospitals. The functional program describes the project. It includes the “General Functional Program Template” that addresses the requirements at 310:667-41-1(e) AND additional PROJECT-SPECIFIC TEMPLATES that address the requirements for different areas/departments/hospital types.
Things to note prior to completing the Functional Program Template:
A functional program is required if the project involves:
A mechanical/electrical change;
A structural change; or
A functional change.
Instructions:
Complete the “General Functional Program Template” for each project.
Include the project title over the heading at the top right of the page. Use a consistent project title on all documents submitted for the project. This will help avoid confusion between projects.

Provide an answer for each element that is required in the template. If an element DOES NOT apply to your project, provide a brief explanation as to why it does not apply.
