OPTIONAL COMMON SPACES. The following common spaces
are optional when using the Marine Corps 2+0 Plan.
Automatic entry doors and weather vestibule.
Administration Area: Administrative areas should be designed to
provide the staff with a secure, efficient, and comfortable
environment from which to manage the building.
Lobby, Vestibule, and Reception Desk: Locate the Lobby and
vestibule for easy identification by arriving guests. Include a
seating area for visitors and guests waiting for transportation.
Locate the seating area for clear view of arriving vehicles and of the
front desk. Choose and arrange lighting fixtures to organize and
identify the space. Finish the lobby and entrance with attractive,
durable, and easily cleaned materials. Provide the Reception Desk
with enclosed space or counter/workspace. Locate the counter for
visual control of the lobby and other central common spaces.
Arrange the counter for check-in by several persons at once with
computer, key control, and forms storage. Light counter surfaces
for writing, mount duplex outlets above work surface, and provide
computer and telephone cables and connections.
Office Space: Provide other administrative office spaces as
required.
Multi-Purpose Spaces such as: Lounge, Meeting, Conference,
Classroom: Isolate the area acoustically, and locate them close to
public toilets. Finishes should be easily cleaned and should endure
hard use. Provide cabinets and counter space for minor food
service and to accommodate a microwave oven, waste receptacles,
and other similar food warming equipment. Provide locked storage
for related supplies and for equipment. Provide rooms with light

Provide window coverings and hardware to allow for darkening of

and the military requirement of Marines to access the internet to
review military records and conduct personnel administration, multi-
purpose rooms are required to be wired with infrastructure to
support high speed internet access. Provide a minimum of two
eight-pin data ports wired with Category 5e wiring and clean power
in each multi-purpose room.
