Snodgrass, Kathleen . 2007. Portraying the Forest Service Image—Applying the Built Environment Image Guide to Administrative Sites. 0773 2807. Missoula, MT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, National Technology and Development Program. 34 p.

This report explains how to apply the Forest Service's Built Environment Image Guide for National Forests and Grasslands (BEIG) to administrative site improvements and maintenance projects. The BEIG was developed to help agency designers and decisionmakers better serve customers and produce transportation systems, sites, and structures that portray a sustainable Forest Service image based on the local ecological, cultural/social, and economic context. If the BEIG principles are followed whenever structures are created or modified, the Forest Service's built environment can change over time. Administrative sites include offices, warehouses, crew quarters, homes, utilities, and all the facilities where Forest Service employees work.

Keywords: accessibility, BEIG, commissioning, construction, design themes, energy efficiency, improvements, integrated design, landscapes, leases, LEED, life-cycle cost, maintenance, operations, recycling, sustainability, sustainable, universal design, value analysis, waste management
