Explain the importance of pre-design planning.

Imagine that, after working in facility design for many years, you have become well-known in the industry. Your manager has asked you to create either a paper or short handout that new employees can refer to as they receive training through the company. This paper or handout should guide new employees through the process of facility planning.

Create a 350- to 525-word APA paper, handout, or other presentation based on the textbook by Hayward, summarizing the process of addressing facility planning needs in which you:

• List and describe the steps of facility planning.
• Explain the importance of pre-design planning.
• Explain the rationale (or decision process) when determining whether to renovate or replace a health care facility.

Note: A handout can be a flyer, brochure, poster, etc.

Cite Hayward and at least 1 other peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines with in-text citations and a reference list.
