2.7.5.3 In addition to the standard areas of an OMS, an AMSA is
often authorized additional special maintenance offices, such as a
supply room, an electronics/communication repair room, or a small
arms repair shop and vault. All of these rooms would be best
located adjacent to the workbays, if space and NFPA 101 allow.
They may also be located off a corridor leading to the workbays.

2.8.1 The primary criteria document for fire protection and life
Fire Protection/
safety in AR facilities is UFC 3-600-01: "Design: Fire Protection
Life Safety
Engineering For Facilities". New construction of training center,
OMS, AMSA, and warehouse buildings generally includes fire
sprinkler systems for protecting the occupants and building structure
from fire. Unheated storage buildings are typically not covered by
fire sprinkler systems, unless they are larger than 465 sq m (5,000
sf), because the value of the contents does not warrant the
additional expense. The criteria for providing and designing
sprinkler systems is included in UFC 3-600-01: "Design: Fire
Protection Engineering For Facilities"; OMS and AMSA buildings
are considered to be "shops".
