5. OPERATING RATIONALE (BASIS OF CRITERIA)
These criteria were developed in concert with the Veterans Benefits Administration. They represent an input from the
field, program officials and central office personnel. They also represent 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 Division Chief, Assistant Division Chief, Audiovisuals Storage. Training Room and
Testing Room. All other areas will utilize open office planning concept.
b. The Training Room, if required, will have soundproofing, a folding partition and a contiguous Audiovisuals Storage
Room.
c. The Storage area will utilize cabinets and shelving units as part of the open office area, in lieu of a separate room.
