3.6.3 Colors: The AR has approved four basic color schemes
for its MDS system projects: green, blue, rust and cranberry.
These color schemes serve as a guideline and the designer is
encouraged to enhance them.

\ Steel shelving and steel cabinets for unit storage areas
and maintenance shops are considered equipment rather than
furniture, and are provided as part of the construction contract
under OMAR funding. (See Appendix B for list of OMAR-
funded items.) Shelving for library and facility maintenance areas
are typically part of the furniture package. Workbenches for unit
storage areas, maintainance shops and armorer's rooms are
typically part of the furniture package.
3.6.5 Furniture design must be closely coordinated with
electrical and communication design; this is especially true for
the open office workstations. The workstations will be furnished
and installed by the Government, but the construction
contractor will be responsible for wiring them once they are
installed. Close coordination should reduce the conflict inherent
in this situation.
3.6.6 The RSC and Tenants should be asked if they have
furniture standards of their own. In case of conflicts with typical
AR standards, the Using Service will make a determination.

Structural
3.7.1 MDS/AR Approved Systems and Materials
3.7.1.1 Reference TI 800-01 "Design Criteria" for further
structural design information.
3.7.1.2 The structural system should be the most cost effective
design without restricting the architectural and engineering
aspects of the building, such as flexibility, function, character,
and symmetrical configuration for seismic resistance. A variety
of systems should be considered, and the one selected must
satisfy the site, flexibility, future expansion, program, economic
and availability requirements. Note: availability of hard metric
construction materials plays a significant role in the structural
design.
