IFB Attachment 7 - Space Planning Criteria.pdf

This document is a Department of Veterans Affairs Space Planning Criteria document for Women Veterans Clinical Service (WVCS), dated October 1, 2021, specifically addressing space planning for Models 2 and 3 of women's health clinics. The document provides detailed guidelines for designing and allocating space across multiple functional areas including reception, patient care, imaging, support, staff and administrative, and education zones, with specific net square footage requirements and spatial configurations for different room types.

The criteria outline comprehensive requirements for room sizes, quantities, and relationships based on projected annual patient workload, with provisions for two primary clinic models: a separate but shared space model (Model 2) and a dedicated Women's Health Center model (Model 3). Key design considerations include patient privacy, accessibility, discrete access for different services, and accommodating specialized clinical needs such as gynecology, breast imaging, screening, and procedural spaces. The document includes detailed matrices for functional relationships, room code assignments, and spatial planning parameters to ensure standardized and efficient clinic design across Veterans Affairs medical facilities.
