4-1 Using This Chapter
This chapter contains the detailed design criteria for all the
spaces included in the Band Training Facility. These pro-
vide the spatial descriptions and performance requirements
to meet the functional requirements discussed in Para-
graph 2-3, Functional Program. For each individual space,
this chapter presents a use description, size requirements
and critical dimensions, spatial characteristics and organi-
zation, relationships, furnishing and equipment require-
ments (as essential to the built space design and function-
ing), and technical recommendations.
Equipment and Technical criteria are presented only
where requirements are special for band facilities, not where
common architectural practice for general-purpose struc-
tures is to be followed. Further details on acoustical design
criteria, particularly applicable to the music spaces, are
found in Paragraph 3-5 and Chapter 5. A summary list of
the spaces included and their recommended square foot
areas is found in Table 2-1.
These individual space criteria are to be used primarily
in the development of the Concept Design and Final Design
for the band facility by the contract architect/engineer.
They will also be useful to the Bands personnel, Facility
Engineers and District Engineers in setting the design
requirements for the architect to meet, and in reviewing the
design submissions for compliance.
