1-1 Using This Chapter
This chapter describes the purpose, scope and organiza-
tion of this Design Guide for Army Band Training Facilities.
It discusses the roles and responsibilities of participants
in the project process, and provides a reference list of related
military regulations and technical manuals useful in the
development of these facilities.
1-2 Purpose
The purpose of this Design Guide is to provide guidance
and basic criteria for the planning and design of Army
Band Training Facilities (Category Code 171-15). This
involves several stages and types of activities:
A. Evaluation and Improvements. This Design guide
provides criteria against which existing band facilities, build-
ings proposed for renovation for band use, and new
designs can be evaluated. Criteria are provided for assess-
ment in terms of architectural program, spatial and struc-
tural suitability, building organization and relationships, and
the design of individual activity spaces. Improvements
to existing facilities, through renovation and better space
utilization and operation, can be applied by local band
and engineer personnel, based on such assessment and
on the design guidance in this document.
B. Planning and Programming. This Guide provides
general guidance for Army Bank officers and personnel,
and Facility Engineer personnel, for project planning and
programming for band facilities, and initiating projects for
military construction programs. The Design Guide provides
specific guidance for the selection of appropriate sites or
existing buildings to renovate, and for development of
the architectural program, including the preparation and sub-
mission of required documents.
C. Design. As the basic instrument governing the design
of Army Band Training Facilities, this Guide provides the
design principles and criteria for conceptual design and
design development of all sizes of band facilities. The guide-
lines focus on the development of realistic, cost-effective
