2-1 Using this Chapter
This chapter provides guidance for developing the Architec-
tural Program for the Band Training Facility, and criteria
for selecting an appropriate site for new construction or an
existing building to renovate.
Included are discussion of the steps and considerations
involved in the programming process, a description of
the functions the building is to accommodate and their
requirements, and the recommended set of spaces. The
chapter provides recommended space programs including
square footage allocations for all spaces, for the two stan-
dard size facilities. This programming process is primarily
the work of the band personnel with assistance from the
Facility Engineer. The product of this process--the Architec-
tural Program--directs the engineers and designers in
the requirements the facility design must meet, and pro-
vides the basis for development of the DD Form 1391
and Project Development Brochure (see Paragraph 1-5 of
this Guide, AR 415-15, and AR 415-20).
The site selection criteria are to be applied in the site review
process described in Paragraph 1-5, Responsibilities in
the project development process (see also AR 210-20).
Because many bands are accommodated in reused
facilities, criteria for evaluation of existing buildings are
emphasized. These site and building selection delibera-
tions should involve joint consideration by the band person-
nel and the Facility Engineer/lnstallation Masterplanner.
2-2 Programming Process
The steps involved in developing an Architectural Program
for the band facility are shown in Figure 2-1. This is a part
of the project development process presented in Para-
graph 1-5 and Figure 1-1 of this Design Guide, leading to
the DD Form 1391 and Project Development Brochure
outputs. While this process and the considerations involved
are generally applicable, each post may adapt the proc-
