New rules would guide the design of federal public buildings across the U.S.
This bill would require federal public buildings to follow specific design principles. The General Services Administration (GSA) would be tasked with making sure new buildings stick to these rules, which come from a 1962 report. The public would also get a chance to comment on these new design standards.
Today, federal law does not explicitly require the General Services Administration (GSA) to follow the "Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture" report from 1962 when designing public buildings. If this bill becomes law, the GSA would be explicitly directed to ensure all public building designs adhere to these 1962 principles. The GSA would also be required to create new rules and minimum design standards within 180 days, and the public would have a chance to comment on them.
