considered warehouses, and are not typically designed with
recessed truck docks, or to accommodate material handling
equipment.
4.4.2 The interior space is also typically quite simple: concrete floor,
unfinished walls, service-level lighting and convenience duplex
outlets. A telephone may be provided for communications with the
other buildings. No offices or other spaces are included. Normally,
no sprinklers, plumbing, and HVAC are provided.
4.4.3 The Tenants may wish to divide the space with caging to
provide space for individual units, and may also want individual
doors. Storage cages and shelving may also be required, along with
open space for palletized storage.
4.4.4 The space allocation for unheated storage is sometimes added
to another building for functionality reasons. If this occurs, this
space remains without climate control. Designers should be aware
that the other building may require fire sprinklers, and must address
separation of the spaces accordingly.
4.4.5 If a pre-engineered building is used, provide applicable design loads
and prepare performance specification. Structural design will incorporate
details and loads from any pallet rack systems. Special consideration should
be made for frost protection in cold weather geographical areas.

4.5.1.1 The ancillary shop areas for AMSA, such as the shop offices,
Activity (AMSA)
tool rooms, flammable storage, battery rooms, mechanical rooms,
custodial areas and workbays are similar to those of OMS in
functional requirements; therefore, refer to the OMS individual space
criteria in Section 4.3 above for these AMSA spaces.
4.5.1.2 An AMSA, due to its full-time staff and maintenance mission,
is also authorized spaces and equipment not found in an OMS. These
additional spaces are described below.
4.5.2 AMSA Workbays
4.5.2.1 There is one major difference between the OMS and AMSA
(or DS/GS) workbays: an AMSA (or DS/GS) is authorized a crane.
The crane typically covers the majority of two workbays; it may not
cover them entirely, but covers the bulk of the workspace.
