The Facility Guidelines Institute

The Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) is a nonprofit organization that develops evidence-based standards for designing and constructing healthcare, residential, and commercial buildings. Its guidelines ensure these facilities are safe, functional, and meet quality standards for occupants and staff. The FGI works with industry experts to review research and best practices, helping architects, designers, and builders create spaces that promote health and safety. Their standards are widely adopted in the United States for hospital, clinic, and other healthcare facility planning, thus playing a crucial role in maintaining high-quality building environments.
