Description

Institutional building design is the process of designing buildings that are used for non-residential purposes, such as hospitals, schools, and government offices.

Institutional buildings are subject to stricter construction regulations and policies than typical homes because they are open to the public. Some examples of institutional buildings include: Hospitals: Hospitals, clinics, and medical and dental offices Schools: Universities, schools, and other educational facilities Museums: Museums and libraries Religious buildings: Places of worship and religious buildings Government buildings: Courthouses, city halls, and other municipal buildings Military buildings: Barracks and other military buildings
