5.01 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: INTERIOR DESIGN CRITERIA GOAL

To provide a supportive interior environment that is conducive to the required occupancy or use, is respectful of the public monies, promotes staff performance, and expresses progressive high-quality design.

CONCEPT: The design is to pivot from the facility’s mission and its profile. This includes a working knowledge of the profile and characteristics of said function and said project. Important considerations are a focus on Patient Centered Care and creating a Healing Environment to improve the health and well-being of our Veteran Patients. This clinic is a 1 PACT compliant with a ONE-PACT design, with facility specific design elements included.

FUNCTION: Functional requirements dictate maintainable colors, textures, patterns, material selections, combination of materials and installation techniques. Materials must be chosen for longevity and good appearance retention.

Design attention will be given to all spaces. Areas which could initiate the design may be the lobby or administrative suite, but extensions of the same quality and variety is required for the corridors, staff areas, and all other areas. The design must offer a distinctive and clear lead for the planning and selecting of interior furnishings. Designs that narrow choices of procurement furnishings are inappropriate. A working understanding of the limits of Government sources is to be considered. This consideration will produce a good environment for the furnishings.

Designs that use "life-time-of-the-building" materials in colors, patterns and designs that transcend time are endorsed. Trendy colors and patterns are to be restricted to cycle replacement materials, such as paint and wall coverings.

All walls in the space must be built solid from floor to deck.
