Region 6 a significant contributor to COVID-19 facility strategy book

A page from the GSA Strategy Book with the text: Restroom Consideration readable and a graphic with circles and paths labeled.
The new GSA Return to Workplace Strategy Book has considerations for various spaces, including waiting areas, circulation, workspace, meeting space, break rooms, restrooms, common areas and outdoor seating.

Months of collaboration among GSA, other federal agencies, and a contracted architectural and consulting firm paid off recently with the public release of the GSA Return to Workplace Strategy Book [PDF - 4 MB].

The strategy book is a planning tool that all of GSA’s federal agency customers can use when developing their individualized strategy on employees returning to facilities.

The project began in June, and a Region 6 Portfolio Division employee served as the project manager. 

“I’ve been so impressed with everyone’s dedication to ensuring that all content that we issue is valuable, accurate and timely,” said Jane Schuster, regional workplace executive, and currently on a detail as a program analyst in GSA’s Office of the Chief Architect.

Region 6 Facilities Management Division Director Cy Houston, Service Centers Division Director Bill McGowan and Regional Commissioner Kevin Rothmier also served on the project team.

The interagency review of the initial draft generated over 300 comments to consider, but “ultimately, all of the comments have made our final deliverable an even better product,” Schuster said.
