stages. The phasing of construction allows selected
facilities to be operable during different stages of
completion.
(3) Existing Facilities. The continuous development
process emphasizes the importance of existing MSA,
commercial, community service and other facilities on
post. Many of these facilities are in good condition and
will not need to be replaced for years; or they may be
renovated and continue to be used for somewhat differ-
ent purposes. Post-wide community centers - including
such facilities as main exchanges, commissaries, bowling
centers and major MSA facilities - have already been
established on some installations, and form the natural
focus for developing CAC Main Post Centers. Existing
gymnasiums and physical fitness centers often are
located in the troop billeting areas, and provide a logical
starting point for development of CAC Local Centers.
Branch PX's and troop mess halls may also serve this
focal function.
How best to utilize these existing facilities, in light of the
Community Framework considerations, needs careful
planning. Small additions, modifications, infill construc-
tion, or building on existing facilities, may be more readily
approved and funded than wholesale replacement with
new construction. These considerations will affect the
distribution of services and the location of facilities.
