After
investigating all the possible facility plans, the school must identify
one alternative as the best alternative. In order to determine
the best alternative, the school should develop a set of criteria for
judging. Criteria are specific to each situation but can include such
factors as:
- Cost
- Total
size of project
- Ability
to group functions or departments together
- Effects
on other departments or units
- Use
or reuse of existing space
- Ease
of implementation
- Location
- Impact
on the site
The
best alternative is likely to be a synthesis of several plans, using the
best elements from each. Several versions, with subsequent revisions,
should be anticipated in this process.
