APPLICABILITY AND MINIMUM STANDARDS. This UFC
provides information required for preparation of both Navy Bachelor Housing and
Marine Corps Bachelor Housing design. It is applicable to projects inside the
Continental United States, (CONUS), Outside the Continental United States
(OCONUS), and Overseas. It applies to new facilities and restoration and
modernization projects, providing the information needed to produce a design for
a specific project. Use this UFC in conjunction with Department of Defense
(DOD) and other Department of Navy criteria related guidance. This UFC is not
a substitute for programming research by the designers, and it recognizes that
local climates, geography, communities, mission needs, and changing programs
necessitate some special requirements for Navy Bachelor Housing and Marine
Corps Bachelor Housing. It does, however, establish minimum design standards
that must be followed. Designers are encouraged to exceed these standards for
Navy Bachelor Housing within budgetary constraints where appropriate. It also
establishes certain maximum standards that shall not be exceeded. The
standards provide criteria for determining site evaluation and planning, landscape
design, facility design, and interior design. Mandatory DoD minimum
antiterrorism standards for new and existing inhabited buildings are contained in
Appendix B of UFC 4-010-01, DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards For
Buildings. Recommended antiterrorism measures for new and existing inhabited
buildings are included in Appendix C of UFC 4-010-01. The standards in UFC 4-
010-01 are minimum requirements regardless of threat.
