5. OPERATING RATIONALE (OR BASIS OF CRITERIA)
These criteria were developed in concert with the Veterans Benefits Administration. It represents an input from the field,
program officials and central office personnel. It also represents a distillation of many factors: existing VBA facilities,
correction of space inadequacies, technological innovations, and projected program requirements.
It is recognized that VBA functions, requirements and the physical variations of buildings will cause deviations in determining
the amount of space assigned and its division into private, semiprivate, open areas, or other uses.
6. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
a. Provide private rooms for the District Counsel, Assistant District Counsel, each General Attorney and the Library. All
others will utilize the open office planning concept.

c. The Storage area will utilize cabinets and shelving units as part of the open office area, in lieu of a separate room.
d. The ADP Equipment will generate special power requirements.
