Deliverables
BEAM deliverables should be useful to faculty, students, boards, donors, redevelopment partners, and future design teams. The point is not output for output’s sake. The point is forward motion.
Purpose
Many community sites stall because information lives in fragments, memory, or disconnected consultant documents.
BEAM deliverables consolidate what is known, what has been observed, and what should happen next in a form that can actually be used.
Use
Deliverables can support internal board conversations, faculty assessment, donor communication, grant positioning, consultant onboarding, or future cohort work.
The format changes by project, but the goal stays consistent: increase clarity and reduce drift.
Detail
A documented baseline of the site, building, and current constraints.
This can include field notes, photo logs, basic measured information, mapped issues, and a synthesis of observed conditions.
Detail
A structured reading of what matters, what is viable, and where intervention can begin.
Useful for faculty review, board conversations, donor briefings, and community decision-making.
Detail
Barrier identification and phased recommendations oriented toward actual implementation.
The output is meant to support practical planning rather than remain a static audit.
Detail
Alternative futures for use, occupancy, phasing, and project sequencing.
Scenario work helps organizations compare options before committing to capital-intensive paths.
Detail
Mockups, details, or material studies that bridge concept and execution.
Especially useful when sites need testable design ideas or communication tools for collaborators.
Detail
A next-step framework linking priorities, sequencing, and likely collaborators.
This is where the cohort model becomes operational: a clear handoff toward grants, consultants, contractors, or future cohorts.
