Space Programming and Acquisition
Space Programming
The first step of any space action is completion of a space requirements
program; that is, a written document which outlines the specific needs of a
regional office.
This design guide facilitates the necessary data for the major conte nts of a
space program. Major information within a space program includes the
following:
1. An organizational chart.
2. A mission statement.
3. Adjacency requirements between staff and support spaces.
4. All physical space requirements for staf f, office support, and special
function areas.
5. All special construction, electrical, mechanical, and data requirements.
6. A comprehensive personnel listing arranged by division, position title, and
grade.
7. A complete furniture inventory.
8. A complete and specific equipment inventory.
Data collection forms designed to assist area and regional offices with the
completion of a space requirements program are included in the design guide
appendices.
Space Acquisition
The second step in a space action is acquisition. There are a number of
options available to VBA for acquiring space: GSA Assignment, VA Lease, VA
Construction, and Enhanced-Use.
