LOCATION.
Locate the paint-finishing hangar with due regard to the requirement for aircraft
and vehicle access. In orienting the building, consider the prevailing wind in
relation to the intake and exhaust of large volumes of air for the ventilation
system.

ARRANGEMENT.
Arrange work-bays so that each has ready access to the outside and to
equipment and storage spaces of the hangar. Isolate work-bays in which
cleaning and stripping are done from work-bays in which painting and curing are
done. Administrative spaces such as work control offices may be
accommodated in mezzanines. Provide mechanical equipment rooms with
outside access.

addition to the following specific requirements, design the paint finishing hangar
using the general architectural criteria for maintenance hangars, as set forth in
UFC 4-211-01N.
