Preface
The material contained in this Veterinary Medical Unit
Design Guide is the culmination of a partnering effort by the
Department
of
Veterans
Affairs
Veterans
Health
Administration's Office of Research and Development and
Office of Architecture and Engineering. The goal of the
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 Veterinary Medical Units. The Design
Guide is not to be used as a standard design, and 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.
