2-1.2
Size Determinants and Space Programs. Many factors must be
considered to determine the size of the facility. Tables 2-2 2-6 illustrate the size
programs for the five facility classifications. Also consider the following:
2-1.2.1
Customer Base. The customer base is the primary size determinant.
The active duty population directly relates to the potential customer base (see Table 2-
1). However, the customer base may also include active duty family members, youth
and teen program participants, and others. Consider all potential users when
determining the customer base.
2-1.2.2
Program. Although this UFC will develop a standard for each of the size
categories, there is justification for deviation from those standards depending on the
actual outdoor program developed and offered. The program's impact on space is
primarily in the storage component. For instance, a small facility may support a water
sport activity which requires more storage space than a large facility which does not
support such a recreational activity. This is addressed in Tables 2-2 2-6 under Large
Item Storage but should be considered further in the programming of every facility. If
any of the following programs are to be supported by the facility, the Large Item Storage
line item should be included in the space program:
Kayaking/canoeing
Biking
Skiing/snowboarding/surfing
Trailer rentals (site storage)
