Final Draft 11-30-95
Revised March 1997
Foreword
The material contained in the Pharmacy Design
Guide is the culmination of a partnering effort by
the Department of Veterans Affairs Pharmacy
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 inpatient and
outpatient pharmacies. 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.
