GSA’S DESIGN EXCELLENCE PROGRAMPLANNING FOR QUALITY
Established in 1994 to enhance the quality of public architecture and encourage new approaches through:
■ Simplifying the evaluation process
■ Engaging private-sector design professionals (peers) with no vested interest in the process in the evaluation of proposals
■ Holding Peer Reviews of proposed design concepts
■ First Peer Review – From 3 Concepts to 1
■ Second Peer Review – Refinement of the Concept
Design Excellence Policies and Procedures: https://www.gsa.gov/designexcellence
