Foreword
The material contained in the Research Laboratory
Design Guide is the culmination of a partnering effort by the
Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Research and
Development and the Facilities Quality Office. The goal of
the Design Guide is to ensure the quality of VA facilities while
controlling construction and operating costs.
This document is intended to be used as a guide and a
supplement to current technical manuals and other VA
criteria in the planning of Research Laboratory facilities. The
Design Guide is not to be used as a standard design, and
use of this Design Guide does not limit the project Architects'
and Engineers' responsibilities to develop a complete and
accurate project design that best meets the users' needs and
applicable code requirements.
