Support Facilities.
Concurrent with the planning of new or improvement housing projects, consider the
need for support facilities, such as housing management offices, housing maintenance
facilities, self-help centers, and community centers. Table 2-4 provides typical sizes in
square feet for Support Facilities, based on Installation, activity, and housing inventory.
Support Facility design should be based on installation and activity size. The actual
support facility design must be customized based on actual personnel demand and
other site-specific criteria.
