EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Interior Design Manual (IDM) will provide VA staff participating in the development of interior design projects with an understanding of their roles, responsibilities and the appropriate procedures for creating a comprehensive Interior Design environment. All VA staff members taking part in interior design are expected to follow this manual as best practice.

The purpose of the IDM is to aid in the translation of VA Master Specifications () into patient-centered design solutions. Design solutions should improve the quality of life and productivity as well as protect the health, safety and welfare of the veterans, visitors and staff. Interior Design is a major component in establishing and maintaining an environment that is professional, therapeutic, safe, aesthetically pleasing, and functionally appropriate.

The IDM will provide tools for understanding current healthcare design industry standards as well as innovative out-of-the-box thinking balanced with a clear awareness of what designing for VA means.

The IDM is a living document that VA staff will support and contribute to in future revisions, therefore creating a sense of ownership and collaboration between the staff and VA Central Office.

All VA designers should reference the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ) definition of interior design (found at

).

Internal links are provided to other VA Architectural Standards and Criteria documents to make the Manual more user-friendly. The Interior Design Team shall implement VA
