CHAPTER 2
GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA
2-1
MASTER/SITE PLANNING.
2-1.1
Size Determinants. Several factors determine the size of the facility.
2-1.1.1
Size Classifications. The facility size classifications and the active duty
populations they serve are shown in Table 2-1. The size of the facility is based, in part,
on this active duty population. When the total population is broken down into distinctive
geographic locations, consider providing multiple facilities sized individually for the
geographic populations.
TABLE 2-1. SIZE CLASSIFICATIONS
Size Classification
Active Duty Population Served
Super Large
> 50,000
Extra Large
14,001 50,000
Large
7,001 14,000
Medium
3,001 7,000
Small
500 3,000
Extra Small (OCONUS Only)
< 500
2-1.1.2
Optional Spaces. Once the size classification has been determined,
determine which optional activity spaces to include (see paragraph 1-3 for more
information on optional activities). The Base representatives, in conjunction with the
project manager, must decide which optional activity spaces to provide. Note the
following when selecting optional activities:
2-1.1.2.1
If an existing facility is being renovated to accommodate the MRC
function, the amount of space available will likely determine what options may be
provided. Note that the existing facility must accommodate the core activity spaces to
be considered for use as an MRC. See paragraph 2-3 for more information on
alterations to existing facilities.
2-1.1.2.2
Consider what functions are provided in existing facilities on the
installation and the proximity of those existing facilities to the new MRC.
2-1.1.2.3
Consider what can be provided within the budget.
2-1.1.2.4
For Navy facilities, avoid providing optional spaces that may be
commandeered for mission-oriented functions (i.e., a multipurpose room that might be
commandeered for use a meeting facility).
