The room is only the starting point
Size matters, but so do access, drainage, power, ventilation, cabinetry, equipment positioning, staff movement and patient flow.
Services can decide feasibility
A room that looks promising may become difficult if services cannot be routed sensibly. Early review can prevent the project from moving too far on weak assumptions.
Think about the whole practice
A new surgery can affect waiting areas, storage, decontamination, staff pressure and maintenance demands. The best plan looks beyond the walls of the new room.
Start with a feasibility conversation
You do not need to decide the final solution before asking whether the space has potential.
