The Design Excellence Program is the center for GSA's advocacy of design quality and artistic expression.  It seeks the finest--and most appropriate--architects and artists for GSA commissions, and also seeks their best design solutions to produce facilities of outstanding quality and value.  In addition to providing quality workplaces for civilian federal employees, the program aims to preserve and add to the rich legacy of public architecture and art, giving contemporary form and meaning to the nation's cherished democratic values.
