What is the P100?
The Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings
Service The P100 is a mandatory standard. It is
not a guideline, textbook, handbook, training
manual, nor substitute for technical
competence. The standards represent the current
state of practice in designing facilities to meet
GSA's commitments, maximize the efficiency of
business processes, and comply with the
requirements of law. The Facilities Standards
must be used in conjunction with the building
program for each project.
