The process is repeatable and scalable to airports of different sizes. Furthermore, the Guidebook is intended to assist the user in identifying the need for terminal redevelopment and selecting among competing options for renewing versus replacing existing terminal facilities. The Guidebook promotes a sequential four-step process wherein the need for terminal redevelopment is determined; options are developed; evaluations are performed; and recommendations are documented. vi EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE Airport operators are challenged to develop alternatives to evaluating strictly cost-driven approaches for renewing
