Design Guides
A major update and revision of the VA Design
Guides is currently underway. Update will be incremental; completed Guides will
be posted on this site and noted as current. As much
information in these Guides is dated, it is recommended that they be used with
moderate caution to assure that current standards of the health care industry
are addressed in meeting VA's needs. A planning/design consultant may be
helpful in confirming the validity of project specific data. Please call Office of Construction & Facilities Management, Facilities Quality Service, Donald L. Myers, Senior
Architect, 202-461-8298 for assistance.
Design Guides are intended to help you speed the design process,
control cost, avoid errors and omissions, and get value for dollars spent.
Design guides are developed in partnership with the using service and are
benchmarked with similar private sector guides. They are to be applied
flexibly, not as rigid standards.
