emphasize music, but may include a comprehensive mix-
ture of music, theater and dance, as appropriate.

produced by another military installation, commercial
operation, or civilian community or school.
The DOD Construction Criteria Manual specifies that only
one drama center and one music center shall be con-
structed at each installation, and only when there is no
existing facility that can be suitably adapted. When a
particular program requires both a new drama and music
center; the DOD Criteria specifies one consolidated
center. Space authorization figures are found in Table
7-66.
The main functional areas of music and drama centers
consist of the room (stage and audience seating), back-
stage (performer/product production facilities), and the
front end (lobby and audience facilities). Space alloca-
tion for these areas, and their sub-spaces, are summa-
rized in Table 7 - 67.
