Training Equipment Room. This space is used for storage and repair
of helmets, headsets and torso harnesses. Racks are needed for boots.
Sewing machines are located here. Torso harnesses are hung vertically here
on standard wooden clothes hangers supported by a 5 feet long double rod.
Training Issue.
Provide 3 feet wide pass-through with counter and
coiling door.
Vending. Provide an alcove or a separate area off the corridor
such that pedestrian traffic is not restricted, but also located convenient
to or within lounge area. Locate vending machines where they can be properly
serviced and maintained with minimal disturbance to facility operations.
Provide secure brackets to prevent overturning of machines and a hard surface
floor sloped to floor drains adjacent to vending machines.
Visitor Control. Locate the checkpoint at the primary pedestrian
entrance to the facility, adjacent to the lobby and near administrative
areas. Provide 42 inch high counter with sign-in area, under counter files,
lockable storage, intercom console where required, and staff phone. Records
screening occurs here. Accommodate number of personnel designated by the
user.

Interior Design. NAVFAC DM-14.01 provides interior design
guidance. Provide imaginative and creative use of colors and furnishings.
Fully integrate interior design with the work of other design and engineering
disciplines at all stages of the facility design process. Provide only those
finish systems which have a proven track record of use and testing.
Materials and finishes selection criteria should balance all factors related
to installation and usage: initial and life cycle costs, aesthetics, comfort,
durability, safety and ease of maintenance and suitability for cleaning
procedures. Corridors, for example, must be designed for transportation of
training aids and devices, as well as heavy trainee traffic. Carpet, if
specified properly, can serve well as a sound dampening material and is
easily maintainable with good wearing longevity. Refer to appropriate tables
for suggested interior finishes.
a) Color. Develop a color plan that is consistent with the
building program. Use color to stimulate positive human physical and
emotional reactions and to enhance the overall functions of the building.
Color selection can also support maintenance management. As a general rule,
fixed building materials (e.g., pavers, ceramic tile, resilient flooring,
ceilings, etc.) should be relatively neutral. Introduce stronger accent
colors on more changeable finishes (e.g., paint, wall coverings, carpet,
furnishings). This will allow color changes at minimum cost as areas are
refinished in the future.
b) Floors. Training facilities are subject to heavy trainee
in/out pedestrian traffic. Entry points and corridors must withstand heavy
foot traffic. Minimize tracked-in dirt by using walk-off mats at entry
points to protect flooring and to reduce maintenance. Provide durable and
easily maintained floors. Consider safety, noise impact, traffic bearing
requirements, and the effect of moisture and chemicals that flooring will be
subjected to. Carpeting may be used in accordance with Table 2.1,
Recommended Finishes, MIL-HDBK-1001/1 and MIL-HDBK-1008C.
