Final Draft 10-18-96
Revised February 1997
Foreword
The material contained in the Ambulatory
Surgery Design Guide is the culmination of a
partnering effort by the Department of Veterans
Affairs
Ambulatory
Care
Service,
the
Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health
Administration, and the Facilities Quality Office.
The goal of the Design Guide is to simplify the
design process and to ensure the quality of VA
facilities while controlling construction and
operating costs.
This document is intended to be used as a guide
and to supplement current technical manuals
and other VA criteria in planning an Ambulatory
Surgery. The Design Guide is not to be used as
a standard design and use of the Design Guide
does not preclude the need for a functional and
physical design program for each specific
project. It is the project Architects and Engineers
responsibility to develop a complete and
accurate project design that best meets the
users needs and applicable code requirements.
