Room Finishes, Door and Hardware Schedule

This document provides guidelines for interior finishes, doors, and hardware for new or renovated facilities constructed within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The essential criteria for selection of these materials are their appropriateness for function and space, sustainability, life cycle costs, durability, and ease of maintenance. The requirements in this Program Guide apply to new construction projects and to renovation projects where the existing finishes and door openings are not suitable for the intended use of the space involved.

Barrier Free Design Standard

This supplement to ABAAS tailors some of the requirements to better meet the barrier free needs of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in its facilities.

Previous requirements have been simplified and abbreviated so that these six pages replace the former 26-page VA Barrier Free Design Handbook (H-08-13).
