Faculty Architecture Department Real Estate and Housing Date 2011-09-26 Abstract This paper explores the concept of adding value to corporate performance by real estate, and how this concept could be applied in decision-making processes for new hospital infrastructure. A literature review forms the starting point for interviews carried out with hospitals‘ CEOs on how real estate added value is perceived and used in design-related decision-making processes. A ranking of real estate added value as perceived by hospital decision makers is then made. While flexibility is often mentioned as an important added value, it is never given top priority. Confronted with added values from literature, the main objective seems to shift to organizational strategic objectives e.g. stimulating innovation, improving culture and increasing user satisfaction. The architectural designs of a number of hospitals are analyzed in order to investigate tools for assessing organizational objectives by using the concept of real estate added value.
