The keystone to health care planning, design, and construction
The FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction documents are the most widely recognized standard for planning, designing, and constructing health and residential care facilities. The Guidelines documents consolidate minimum program, space, risk assessment, infection prevention, architectural detail, surface, built-in furnishing, and building system requirements in one convenient place. States and federal agencies use the Guidelines to regulate new construction and major renovations of health and residential care facilities.
