HEAD START CENTER DESIGN GUIDE

10.5 Historic Preservation

GSA advises that, if a center is housed in a building included or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historical Places (NRHP), or if the center or its playground is in visible, close proximity to such a building, the center design should retain, respond to, and respect the use and character of the historic structure(s).

Work on historic buildings, structures, or properties should comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Structures (current edition) and the Fire Safety Retrofitting in Historic Buildings (August 1989), jointly written by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation and the General Services Administration.
