3-1 Using this Chapter
This chapter presents the considerations to be applied
in site design and overall building design for Band Train-
ing Facilities. It provides particular guidance in space rela-
tionships which the building layout should reflect and in
environmental systems design. Most important for this
facility, this chapter also presents the general principles of
acoustic design and their implications for design of the
whole band facility.
These general considerations are to be used by the engi-
neers and design architects in the Concept Design phase,
when the major spaces and space relationships of the
proposed design are developed. They should continue to
be referred to, along with the more specific Individual
Space Criteria in Chapter 4 and Practical Approaches for
Acoustic Construction in Chapter 5, throughout the Final
Design work. The issues discussed in this chapter are also
essential for the Army Bands personnel and Facility Engi-
neers to understand. It should inform their development of
the Architectural Program and the materials for the Proj-
ect Development Brochure and DD 1391, which determine
the requirements the architectural design must meet.
3-2 Site Design
Site planning and design must be in accordance with the
approved Installation Masterplan and applicable portions
of DOD Manual 4270.1-M, TM 5-803,5, TM 5-822-2, and
TM 5-822-3; and the completed Project Development
Brochure. Site evaluation criteria are discussed in
Paragraph 2-5. The major issues to be considered in site
design for Band Training Facilities are itemized below.
For further detail about specific outdoor space design,
see Paragraph 4-16, Outdoor Spaces.
A. Zoning Related to Building. The several outdoor
activity areas required on the band training facility site
should be zoned to relate closely to functionally-
