Thank you, ma'am! Many have mentioned this guide, as well as some NTIS publications and a planning guide from MLA. I will have to compile a summary of the suggestions for future reference.

A former Army librarian, now at Eglin AFB, asked me about Army and/or Federal space planning criteria for Federal Hospitals. Since I cannot think of any source of such standards at the moment, I thought I'd ask the rest of you for references, as this topic has probably been discussed before. I'm sure I will need this information myself before too long as well. (I will query the Army librarians separately.)

HFPA used to have that on their web site but it's long gone & I can't raise anyone at the only phone # I have for them. The library design guide references the pub "Administrative Space Planning Criteria for Federal Hospitals" but I can't locate it (or even a source for it) anywhere. Any thoughts?
