UFC 4-740-02

f. Jumbo, for populations over 30,000.
2-1.3 Air Force.
Air Force population and Fitness Facility size criteria are provided at the following Web
site: http://www-p.afsv.af.mil/FC/DesignGuides.htm. The space program spreadsheet
(see paragraph 2-2) associated with this UFC does not provide size criteria for Air Force
facilities. The Air Force uses the following size classifications:
a. Small, for populations less than 1,000;
b. Medium 1, for populations between 1,001 and 2,000;
c. Medium 2, for populations between 2,001 and 3,000;
d. Medium 3, for populations between 3,001 and 4,000;
e. Medium 4, for populations between 4,001 and 5,000; and
f. Large, for populations between 5,001 and 6,000.
Over 6,000, the Air Force adds population in increments of 1,000 for the purpose of
determining Fitness Facility sizing. The facility area increases by 465 m2 (5,000 ft.2) for
every 1,000-person increase in population.
2-1.4
Marine Corps.
For Marine Corps population and Fitness Facility size criteria, refer to NAVFAC P-80,
Facility Planning Criteria for Navy and Marine Corps Shore Installations. This UFC and
the associated space program spreadsheet (see Section 2-2) have been designed to
work with the Marine Corps population and size criteria. In the event of a conflict
between this UFC and the P-80, use the criteria in this UFC.
The Marine Corps uses five 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; and
e. Extra large, for populations between 14,001 and 30,000.
The Marine Corps also uses actual Installation population figures and a specific
formula for sizing the fitness spaces on Installations with populations greater than
3,000: Peak load = 3.5% of installation population; fitness area = 4.2 m (45.32 ft.2)
times peak load. For the purposes of this formula, the fitness areas only include the
