Final Draft 7-6-95
Revised April 1997
Foreword
The material contained in the Community Based
Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) 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 a Primary Care
facility. 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.
