2-5 DEVELOPING THE BUILDING PROGRAM (cont'd)
b. ACTUAL SPACE NEEDS. Actual space needs must be based on the requirements of the ACES
Program projected over the next 10-years, and calculated in terms of the instructional space types
needed, existing spaces available and compatible with such needs, and the requirements for staff and
support. Actual space needs should be determined as follows:
(1) List type and number of authorized and assigned staff for the given military strength.
(2) List the typical semester courses and student enrollment anticipated within 10-years for the
ACES program. Consideration must be given to changes in circumstances which might affect the types
of courses offered as well as the projected enrollment.
(3) Assign each course to a specific instructional space type. Use the Individual Space Criteria in
Chapter 4, paras 4-3 and 4-4 for academic and vocational training type spaces, respectively.
(4) For each instructional space type, make a table similar to Table 2-2 and find "c", the total
number of hours per week that the space type is required. The maximum class size should be based
on the occupant load specified for each type of instructional space as given in Chapter 4.
