Perkins & Will - Evidence Based Design Conference proceeding

This is a good collection of assets to review when building a mirror world simulation of a medical center. It provides background on some of the questions to ask about pieces of the building design that might not be visible in renderings or schmatics but will influence a new facility orientation program learning design and can inform how robust and reusable the mirror world can be with some proactive analysis.
