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 divis ion into private, semiprivate, open areas, or other uses.
6. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
a. Provide a private room for the Division Chief, Assistant Division Chief, Security File Room (if required) and Interview
Room(s). All other areas will utilize the open office planning concept.
b. Security File Room, if required, must be fireproof and requires a lock to secure legal documents.
c. The Reception Area should be adjacent to the Interview Rooms.
d. The Storage area will utilize cabinets and shelving u nits as part of the open office area, in lieu of a separate room.
