Foreword
The material contained in this Design Guide is the culmination of a partnering
effort between the Office Resource Management and Facilities Management.
The goal of the Design Guide is to ensure the quality of VBA 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 planning of Veterans Benefits
Administration facilities. 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, nor the project Designers'
responsibilities to develop a complete and accurate project design that best
meets the users' needs and applicable code requirements.
