The Ideal Site. An ideal site might be a block or two inside the
main gate on the principal street, with a generous landscaped margin, adjacent
to the parking area furnished for the Base Exchange (so that parking space can
be shared), and within easy walking distance from the enlisted personnel

TYPICAL FACILITIES EXEMPLIFIED IN PLANS.
a.
The Examples in This Manual. No series of precise programs can be
supplied to match the varied needs of military bases. This manual deals with
four selected situations. The examples are as follows:
(1) A chapel seating 100 plus a religious educational facility of
3,855 square feet (358 m2). Facility Plates 1-3, pages 37.06-41 through
37.06-45.
(2) A chapel seating 300 plus a religious educational facility of
5,000 square feet (465 m2). Facility Plates 4-6, pages 37.06-47 through
37.06-51.
(3) A chapel seating 500 plus a religious educational facility of
7,500 square feet (697 m2). A variation divides the seating into two spaces
seating 425 and 75 respectively. Facility Plates 7-12, pages 37.06-53 through
37.06-63.
(4) A religious educational facility, sited alone, of 10,000 square
feet (930 m2). Facility Plates 13 and 14, pages 37.06-65 and 37.06-67.
b.
Area Assignments. The areas approximated on the plans in this manual
are derived from Facilities Planning Factors Criteria for Navy and Marine Corps Sh
each project to determine any variations from the tables. Space for mechanical eq
will vary according to local situations. In planning a facility it is
acceptable to consider the area allowances for worship and religious education
respectively as a total sum, to be allocated in proportions that meet the
local need.
3.
SPACE RELATIONSHIPS.
a.
Space Adjacencies. Although these facilities are titled under two
headings, "Chapels and Religious Educational Facilities", they are normally
designed as one complex and the functions can conveniently be subdivided into
five groupings which overlap and interact.
