These ADP workstations are for joint use by employees
that do not have or are not sharing (e.g., located on lazy

workstations.

5. OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
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. These criteria (VA HANDBOOK 7610) address the ultimate goals established by Federal Property Regulations. The
spaces allocated will address the actual needs of the functions to be performed and will not be based on the individual's grade.
