Scope of Work & Requirements
The VA requires approximately 5,500 ABOA square feet of space and 30 parking spaces (8 ADA compliant) for a Veteran Center. The space must be located within a specific delineated area in Toledo, Ohio, bounded by:

Public utilities must be available onsite. Additional preferences include a first-floor location, no atriums or irregular shapes, specific column dimensions, not in a FEMA floodplain, zoned for VA use, and not near incompatible businesses. The site should be easily accessible to major highways, public transportation, amenities, and emergency services.
