Preface
The goal of this Surgical 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 Surgical Suites. The Design Guide is not to be used as a standard design. Use of this Design Guide does not
preclude the need for a functional and physical design program for each specific project, nor the project Architects' and Engineers'
responsibilities to develop a complete and accurate project design that best meets the users' needs and applicable code requirements.
