VA Hospital Building System Development Study (Red Book)
The Development Study of VA Hospital Building System was completed in 1972 and revised in 1977. Since then, the VAHBS has been used successfully on many VA projects over the years. Certain elements of this system have evolved. Steel structures, instead of concrete, are often used, and minor changes in the organization and an increase in the number and overal height of sub zones for various disciplines have been implemented. These changes will be reflected in future updates.
The Building Study is available as one PDF File.
