First Draft 4-15-97
Foreword
The material contained in the Tuberculosis
Primer is the culmination of a partnering effort
by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans
Health Administration, and the Facilities Quality
Office. The goal of the Primer 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 for the
prevention of the spread of Tuberculosis. 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.
