MIL-HDBK-1027/4A
Provide mobile shelving systems as needed to accommodate storage in retrofits
where space allocations are restrictive.
Mechanical Pump Room. Typically contains the hydraulic and
pneumatic pumps. Since both device contractor and construction contractor
furnished equipment may be located in the same space, determine interface
point between the two. Provide adequate access for maintenance. Include
space for hydraulic fluid storage. Provide concrete curbs around perimeter
of hydraulic pump bases and/or metal pan under pump seals with drainage slope
to sump to retain fluid waste for proper disposal.
Isolate floors and acoustically treat walls and doors where this
source of vibration and sound can adversely affect adjacent spaces. Isolate
the noise transmitted through the trench to the high bay area. Avoid
locating pump rooms on upper levels where sound can reverberate through
structural systems.
Access to both interior of the building and exterior is
recommended. Pump rooms supporting large hydraulic systems may require high
ceilings to allow maintenance access with a permanent or temporary overhead
crane to assist in the maintenance procedures. Allow adequate access space
around and above equipment for maintenance.
Mechanical Room. This space normally contains the facility related
heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment as well as the
sprinkler valves and piping. Area requirement for facility HVAC equipment is
typically 5 percent of gross floor space; however, the requirement can vary
depending on space criteria and other factors such as use of a basewide steam
system. Mechanical rooms for aviation training facilities typically contain
a variety of equipment types which must be accommodated early in the design.
Avoid locating rooms with HVAC equipment on upper levels where sound can
reverberate through structural systems. Provide adequate access space around
equipment for operation, maintenance, and servicing. Locate hydraulic and
pneumatic equipment which support the trainer devices in a separate pump room
due to air contaminants, noise, and safety considerations. The device
manufacturer's TFR will provide space requirements for equipment to be
located in the mechanical and pump rooms.
Media Storage Room. Provisions for centralized storage and
retrieval of each type media must be provided. In multifloor facilities,
locate an additional media storage room on each floor. Include storage as
needed for slides, film, microfilm, filmstrips, video tapes, audio tapes,
records, computer discs and other storage media, maps and charts, projection
equipment, and audio equipment. Refer to MIL-HDBK-1008C for fire protection
requirements for magnetic tape and film storage. Adjustable shelving is
required. Verify with the user and manufacturer if a centralized VCR control
panel area is required. Provide issue window, dutch door, or counter where
required for customer service.
Officer in Charge (OIC). The person charged with controlling the
use of the facility, scheduling the use of classrooms and training devices
and maintaining curriculum occupies this space. This person is also
typically the Training Officer. This space may not be required within all
facilities since this person may already have adequate office space
elsewhere.
