SIZE DETERMINANTS.

population and sizing factors vary by Service.
2-1.1
Army.
For Army population and Fitness Facility size criteria, use this UFC and the associated
space program spreadsheet (see Section 2-2). Also refer to U.S. Army Physical Fitness
Facilities Technical Criteria and the Army Quantity Questionnaire spreadsheet for
additional information.
The Army uses five size classifications:
a. Extra small, for populations between 251 and 1,000;
b. Small, for populations between 1,001 and 3,000;
c. Medium, for populations between 3,001 and 6,000;
d. Large, for populations between 6,001 and 10,000; and
e. Extra large, for populations between 10,001 and 15,000.
Over 15,000, the Army adds population in increments of 5,000 for the purpose of
determining Fitness Facility sizing.
2-1.2 Navy.
For Navy population and Fitness Facility size criteria, refer to NAVFAC P-80, Facility
Planning Criteria for Navy and Marine Corps Shore Installations (P-80) and Navy
Fitness Center Standards and Metrics. This UFC and the associated space program
spreadsheet (see Section 2-2) have been designed to work with the Navy population
and size criteria. In the event of a conflict between this UFC and the P-80, use the
criteria in this UFC.
The Navy uses six size classifications:
a. Extra small, for populations less than 500;
b. Small, for populations between 501 and 3,000;
c. Medium, for populations between 3,001 and 7,000;
d. Large, for populations between 7,001 and 14,000;
