3.5.1 AR/MDS Approved Systems and Materials
3.5.1.1 AR, through the development of its MDS system, has
established some preferred systems and materials for the design and
construction of AR facilities. When practical, AR preference is that
these systems and materials be used for all AR facilities, whether
designed with MDS or not. Recommendations for departures from
these systems and materials should be reviewed with the Using
Service.
3.5.1.2 The preferred exterior wall construction is an insulated cavity
wall of brick or CMU veneer with masonry or steel stud backup.
Metal panels are an alternative to the masonry veneer. The interior
finish of the exterior wall will be gypsum board over furring or steel
studs in finished spaces, and painted CMU in more utilitarian areas.
3.5.1.3 Preferred exterior doors are hollow metal in hollow metal
frames, with aluminum doors in aluminum storefront systems for major
entries. Exterior windows should be steel or aluminum frame units, or
storefront assemblies where large areas of glazing are desired.
3.5.1.4 The preferred roof construction is a sloped standing seam
metal roof, except at the kitchen, where a low-slope ("flat") roof
better accommodates the kitchen equipment rooftop penetrations and
equipment. See guidance on standing seam metal roof systems
(SSMRS) in Appendix K. Low slope roofs are an acceptable design
