addressed. The Guide deals primarily with training center buildings and vehicle
maintenance shops, both of which directly support a training facility or group of facilities.

The intent of the Guide is to provide a portion of the general information and
guidance required for the successful preparation of project designs. Additional
information and guidance must be obtained from the Using Service, the USAR
Installation, the Design Agency, and designer investigations on such matters as project
scope, local codes and site constraints. Typical project-specific and general
documentation to be made available to the designers is listed below. Additional listings
of criteria are in Appendx A.

The Modular Design System (MDS) is a unique Microstation-based computer-
aided design software program used to complete USAR facility designs. This program
contains the level of quality expected by the Army Reserve. MDS has the unique
capability to streamline the design and review process, offer more uniform construction
quality and produce a reliable cost estimate early in the design

process. The cost estimate is automatically derived from floor

plans developed through use of the software. MDS is a step-by-

step, forward progressing software. It relies a great deal on good
sound decisions being made early in the design process. Using
reliable input, MDS will produce a great deal of design
information in a short time frame. This information is produced in
a logical and sequential manner that is unique to MDS.
Therefore, the submittal requirements are based on the MDS
methodology in terms of what information is submitted at each
design phase.

MDS is a kit-of-parts-type software program, and contains a wide variety of
pre-designed space modules for USAR facilities, as well as information on
