a. This guide contains design criteria for Army Auto
Crafts Centers which are in some instances referred to as
Automotive Self-Help Garages. The term Automotive Self-
Help Garage will be used only when preparing budget

requirements for the Military Constructionr Army (MCA)
Program and for nonappropriated funded projects as
stated in AR 28-1 and AR 230-1.
b. The primary purpose of this guide is to provide cri-
teria for design personnel who prepare and evaluate proj-
ect designs. This guide also provides general guidance for
installation personnel and Corps of Engineers field offices
in planning and programming project requirements.
In addition, it is expected that facility managers will

ter utilizing existing Auto Crafts Centers or other suitable
facilities.
d. This guide is directed toward improving early design
decisions and toward the development of realistic, cost-
effective spaces in conjunction with the regulations and
