Annex B, AEI for BUP
First Edition
FOREWORD
These Architectural and Engineering Instructions (AEI) for the Barracks Upgrade Program
(BUP) have been developed to be responsive to the needs of the Department of the Army, Army
Installation Commanders, Directors of Public Works, Unit Commanders, and the soldiers. This
AEI will support the upgrade of the Lyles, Bissett, Carlisle, and Wolfe (LBC&W) and the
Benham, Blair & Affiliates (BB&A) barrack types constructed in the 1970s under the Volunteer
Army Program (VOLAR) and the upgrade of other existing Army barracks types. These
instructions provide design policy and technical guidance in support of the BUP.
This AEI is a living document and will be reviewed, updated, republished, and redistributed on a
continuous basis for the purpose of revitalizing and enhancing our design and engineering support
to military installations. These instructions apply to Major Subordinate Commands (MSC),
district commands, and other U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) field offices having
military construction responsibilities. This AEI is intended for use by the design and engineering
elements involved with the BUP in support of Army installations.
Please send your comments and lessons learned using this AEI. With your permission, I plan to
share your experiences with other team members in the Corps. Essayons!
