  1. The Evolution of Installation Design Standards Army Installations Symposium Mr. Vincent Kam, Facilities Policy Division, Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management March 31, 2005

  2. Purpose and Outline PurposeTo provide the Army Installations Symposium with an overview of the Installation Design Standards and how it fits with building installations for an all volunteer force. • Outline • Definitions • Past -- IDS Background • Present -- Army Facilities Standardization Program • Future – Installation Design Standards and the Model Code • Summary & Conclusion

  3. Definitions “We can’t ask our Soldiers to go in harm’s way and then ask them to stay in substandard barracks. It’s not going to happen on my watch.” Dr. Francis J. Harvey Secretary of the Army What’s the standard?

  4. Unified Facilities Criteria – DoD developed. Army Standards – critical elements required Army Facility Standard Designs – A set of drawings and text for a facility type which include the Army Standards, functional layouts, area requirements, design criteria, and critical features Technology Standards – technical innovations, proven techniques, and information systems adopted into Army criteria as technology standards Design Criteria –Technical Manuals, Technical Instructions, and Design Guides. These documents provide guidance on architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, and engineering Installation Design Standards – a compilation of all approved Army Standards, Army Facility Standard Designs, and Technology Standards; maintained on the ACSIM web site Installation Design Guides – Installation level document based on the IDS template that specifies planning and facility guidelines for a particular installation Definitions

  5. VCSA directed fielding / implementation 22 April 2003 • Defines the Army standards for site planning, buildings, vehicular and pedestrian circulation, landscaping, site elements (i.e., signs, utilities), force protection, and sustainable design. • Framework for the Installation Design Guide (IDG) process Army Installation Design Standards (IDS) are The Army Standards • The Standards Provide: • Standardization across all of our posts and • garrisons. • Sense of community, order, tradition, and pride. • Guidance on cost-effective resource investment. • Sustainability, reliability, and efficiency.

  6. Army Facilities Standardization Program • Army Standards • UFCs • Changes to IDS • Waivers to Standards Army Facility Standardization Committee ACSIM (Chair) Dir Military Programs USACE, & Dir IMA • Standard Designs • Priority of efforts • Resources for design teams Army Facility Standardization Subcommittee OACSIM Dir FD (Chair) Dir, Engineering & Construction, USACE & Deputy Dir IMA Facility Standards Group Technology Standards Group IDS (Facilities) (Components & Systems) OACSIM & DA Proponent co-chair working teams, USACE Design Center of Standardization, IMA, and other agencies participate OACSIM & DA Proponent co-chair, USACE R&D Labs, IMA, and other agencies

  7. LIGHTING SITE FURNISHINGS SIGNS UTILITIES IDS Overview – Seven Chapters INTRODUCTION FORCE PROTECTION LANDSCAPE DESIGN BUILDING DESIGN 3 4 5 1 2 6 7 SITE PLANNING CIRCULATION DESIGN SITE ELEMENTS DESIGN

  8. IDS Overview – Chapter 8 Model Installation Design Guide (IDG) A template for adoption of the IDS

  9. Future – IDS and the Model Code Model Code • Specify military-unique functions • Adopt industry standards • Target 25 years as useful life • Incorporate best life-cycle O&M • Multipurpose with minimum lead time • Complies with energy efficiency, sustainable design/development, and force protection • Accommodate local architectural themes Critical Mission Facilities • Barracks • Operations Buildings • Maintenance Shop • Classrooms • Dining Facility Support for Army Stationing Initiatives Plan and program unit restationing as an entity/project rather than programming individual facilities

  10. Summary and Conclusion “Improving quality of life for Soldiers and their family members is what will help The Army sustain an all-volunteer force.” Kenneth O. Preston, SGM of the Army Fort Sill, Oklahoma, March 4, 2005 To ensure victory and avoid defeat, there are to be no deviations to Army standards and standard designs other than compliance with Installation Design Guides and site adaptation.
