4.5.3 The center design team
consultant skilled needs to be further matured and
standardized. Some qualities include:
The team that designs a facility should include an
architect, the customer, the project manager, the con-
tractor, AV and IT professionals, a simulation facility
design consultant, and select faculty who will use the
facility. The criterion of what makes a simulation design
Prior simulation experience
Prior simulation facility construction experience
Good spatial skills and qualities
Ability to convert ideas into images
