This course provides an overview of the concepts of facilities planning, offering the students a great opportunity to get a general grounding in the field through readings, and detailed up-to-date examples. The main concepts pertaining to planning are gradually presented in a logical progression from conception of the facility idea to execution of rough-cut sketches that would be given to construction firms for use in developing the facility. The course and its content should be considered as a reference subject for those students who are embarking on the facilities planning and design for the first time. Several pedagogical features are included in this course to enhance presentation of the materials so that students can easily understand the concepts and apply them.
