About this file
This document is the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center Interior Design Standards, which serves as a comprehensive guide for specifying interior building materials and finishes for new construction and renovations across the medical center, hospitals, and clinics.
The standards establish specifications for flooring, wall finishes, wall protection, ceiling tiles, cabinetry, cubicle curtains, signage, and window treatments. For acoustical ceiling tiles, the standards specify Armstrong products in various configurations depending on space type: Tundra Medium Texture for main areas, Cirrus for patient/office areas, Fine Fissured for storage/utility rooms, and Clean Room VL for procedure/clean rooms, all installed in Armstrong Prelude XL grid with white powder coat finish. Flooring selections include luxury vinyl tile products from Armstrong and Roppe for exam, offices, corridors, and executive areas; homogeneous sheet flooring with heat-welded seams from Mannington and Tarkett for clinical, procedural, and bathroom areas; and porcelain or ceramic tile for entrances. Wall protection requires Inpro rigid wall covering and panels in specified colors, with handrails and corner guards in stainless steel or Inpro materials. Paint specifications mandate Sherwin Williams products with eggshell sheen for gypsum wallboard and semi-gloss for metal trim, using specific color palettes including Brittany Blue, Van Courtland Blue, Maritime White, and Harbor Town. Window treatments specify manual flex shades manufactured by Draper with stainless-steel bead chain clutch for exterior windows and mini-blinds for interior glazing. Cabinetry must feature full overlay design with concealed hinges, wire pull hardware only, solid surface countertops and backsplashes, and no wall-mounted cabinets above sinks. Additional standards cover cubicle curtain tracks using InPro Clickeze Optitrac systems with flame-resistant, antimicrobial-treated fabrics meeting NFPA 701 requirements; toilet partitions constructed of 1-inch solid plastic HDPE material; and signage using the Creative Signage-Continuum system with anodized aluminum frames and removable components. The document also identifies standard items in use including Follet Healthcare refrigerators, Medline soiled linen hampers, Tork toilet tissue and paper towel dispensers, and Purell soap and sanitizer dispensers, along with specifications for recycling containers, housekeeping equipment, and wheelchair dimensions.

ALBANY STRATTON VA MEDICAL CENTER INTERIOR DESIGN STANDARDS
The purpose of these standards is to provide a basis for specification of material to be used for interior building components such as: flooring, wall finishes, wall protection, ceiling tiles, cabinetry, cubicle curtains, signage and window treatment details . Alternative material selections for projects will be considered when the needs of the program or end-user cannot be met with a standard selection. Standard materials will be reviewed and updated as required.
The following are Interior Design Standards for new construction and renovations for the medical center, hospitals and clinics of Albany Stratton VA Medical Center. Interior finishes and materials in a facility are major components that establish and maintain an environment that is professional, therapeutic, safe, aesthetically pleasing and functionally appropriate.
