The draft 2010 Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities will be available for public comment by summer's end in 2008.

At that time, the Health Guidelines Revision Committee will invite the health care industry (clinicians, designers, and facility managers), authorities having jurisdiction, and other interested members of the public to comment on proposed changes to the language in the 2006 edition of the Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities.

In the meantime, to review proposals made by the public, click "Changes to Guidelines" in the column to the left. If you have not already done so, you must create an account to access the proposals. This account information will be good through the public comment period in 2008.

For more information about the Guidelines and its revision process, read further on this Web site. For information on how to access past editions of the Guidelines and how to reference the 2006 edition, visit the American Institute of Architects Web site at www.aia.org/aah_gd_hospcons.
