Stages in the educational facility planning process are presented in this handbook, with a second focus on implementation. Four chapters provide information on the four cycles of the planning process, which include analysis and diagnosis, research and development, planning and programming, and implementation and evaluation. Characteristics of an effective educational building planning policy include adaptation to climatic and topographical conditions, an equally accessible location, implementation according to schedule, and consideration of manpower and resource limitations. The appendix contains an inventory questionnaire. (10 references) (LMI)
