Section 9:
MODERNIZATION OF EXISTING GENERAL WAREHOUSE BUILDINGS
Purpose. It is the intent to bring the existing semi-permanent and
9.1
permanent warehouse buildings to a level comparable with current standards for
new construction, in accordance with criteria in the appropriate Design
Manuals. Buildings selected for modernization shall be architecturally
acceptable and structurally sound. Existing low-rise buildings can be used
for support functions when located adjacent to new high-rise facilities.
Section 9 provides additional specific criteria applicable to modernization of
facilities.
General architectural requirements
Architectural Requirements.

include the following:
Floors. Install resilient floor tiles, with appropriate base, in

in storage areas if the surface is in poor condition.
Interior Finishes. The paining of some spaces may be in an
9.2.2
unacceptable condition or of colors contrary to those prescribed by criteria
or according to use or occupancy. Such spaces shall be repainted in colors

NAVFAC DM-3.03.
Doors And Windows. Inspect doors and windows. Replace broken glass
9.2.5
and repair or replace weatherstripping. If doors or windows are severely
deteriorated, investigate the economics of replacement with energy efficient
models.
Structural Requirements. When it is determined that the structural
9.3
system will not satisfy the design loads, those members which are considered
inadequate shall be strengthened, modified, or replaced.
Structural Systems. Structural systems should be inspected and,
