Center should exhibit a more residential or hospitality-oriented character than an office
or educational facility. For more information on the specific spaces, refer to the
Functional Data Sheets in Chapter 4 and UFC 3-530-01.
3-5.4.2
Communications and Data.
Provide a junction box with rigid conduit to the ceiling for telephone and data
connections. Telephone and data outlets may be independent of each other or
combined into a single junction box. If these connections can be combined into a single
junction box then the cover plate to that junction box must allow for multiple
connections. In some unique situations, the cable television (CATV)/internal video
connection can also be combined into a single junction box with the appropriate cover
plate.
Confirm the preference for individual or combined telephone/data/video outlets with the
following Service-specific contacts:
a. The Installation Manager for Army and Air Force projects and
b. HQ Program Managers for Navy and Marine Corps projects.
The Navy requires that each space supplied with a data connection have two hard-
wired connections: a primary and an alternate. The alternate serves as a back-up and
is generally not activated. Facilities that will contain Navy and Marine Corps Intranet
computers must comply with UFC 3-580-10.
3-5.4.3
Alarm System.
Consider providing an alarm system for intrusion detection to protect equipment and
assets. Provisions for an alarm system must be justified during the
planning/programming process. For Navy, the individual Navy Installation desiring an
alarm system may fund the system as collateral equipment.
3-5.4.4
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV).
CCTV is designed to deter and reduce the risk of child abuse and protect staff from any
unwarranted allegations of child abuse. Service requirements vary on CCTV systems--
note the following criteria:
3-5.4.4.1
Army. The video surveillance system for Army programs is to be digital,
which allows for speed (quicker access to images), reduced space requirements (few
tapes to store), and higher quality images. Locate the central monitor in the
administrative/reception area. Design the system to provide documentation of the
following areas:
a. All activity spaces,
b. Hallways to include exit doors,
