UFC 4-740-14
1 August 2002
FORWORD Continued
This UFC was created by representatives from the Services' child development
programs and facility design and construction programs:
Headquarters, U.S. Army Community and Family Support Center (HQ CFSC) and
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Navy Personnel Command Child Support and Facilities and Acquisitions Branches
and Naval Facilities Engineering Command
Headquarters (HQ), Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency, Air Force Center for
Environmental Excellence, and HQ USAF/ILV (Air Force Family Member
Programs)
Marine Corps Command Services, Child Development Program and Construction
Office of Children And Youth, Office of Secretary of Defense
While all the Services have contributed program, design, and construction experience in
order to define the criteria in this document, this UFC represents required criteria for the
Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps only. The Army will continue to mandate the use of
the Department of the Army Facilities Standardization Program Seven standard designs
and the Supplemental Data Booklet for Army Child Development Centers for its CDC
(age 6 weeks 5 years) construction program.
The required Army documents were created as part of the Army's strategy to replace
deficient facilities being used for childcare. The Army standard designs were developed
to the definitive design level (10 to 15 percent) and provide criteria and guidance for the
planning, programming, design and construction of Army Child Development Centers.
The standard designs provide mandatory functional and special relationships and the
associated outdoor play environment which meets the Army CDC Programmatic
Objectives and Goals. The Army standard designs have been updated and revised as
necessary to implement changes in guidance and criteria. The latest update occurred
in 1995, and the documents can be found at the following web sites:
