Design for governmental clients usually requires incorporating the needs
of several agencies within the same building. Time of use,
peak demand of mechanical and electrical systems, security,
and considerations for use of the facility during emergencies
are some of the factors that must be considered during design.
Designers have to be sensitive to flexibility during design.
In most cases, user needs will be defined during the progress
of design and not up front. Gartek's expertise in this area

rehabilitation of existing structures. The following sample
