A. OVERVIEW

Comply with Air Force Corporate Standards for Overview:

http://afcfs.wbdg.org/index.html

This Installation Facilities Standards (IFS) document is part of the Air Force Corporate Facilities Standards (AFCFS) program to assist bases in implementing and maintaining facilities standards as appropriate for efficient operations within the respective climate region. IFS fully replaces, consolidates and simplifies existing facilities standards documents, such as the Architectural Compatibility Plan (ACP) or ACGs, FEPs, etc., and organizes information using the same structure, or Table of Contents, as the AFCFS website.

IFS reflects the AFCFS’ concepts of "Facility Hierarchy" (categorizing facilities into group numbers) and “Facility Quality” (assigning an appropriate level of quality to each group number) and applies these principles at the base level. Applicable DoD and Air Force criteria such as UFCs, AFIs, Memoranda, and UFGSs (Guide Specs) are referenced and linked within IFS to ensure the document is always current.

Navigating within this IFS is efficient and straightforward. Please use the interactive Table of Contents to locate subject matter, and click on the title of a section to access it. From any page, click on the “Back to Table of Contents” footer to return. Content is organized into 4 major sections: Installation Elements, Site Development, Facilities Exteriors and Facilities Interiors.

This IFS document begins as a fill-in PDF form, which is fully editable, and becomes a "living document" that can be regularly updated by base-level personnel following a format that is consistent across the Air Force. While the format is standardized, IFS content is customized for base operations and the local climate to ensure mission success while emphasizing reduced maintenance and reduced initial costs, life-cycle costs, energy use, and water use.

1. Conformance to Air Force Corporate Facilities Standards (AFCFS) and Installation Facilities Standards (IFS) are required by Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-1023 and Air Force Memorandum. Please refer to the AFCFS website for links to documentation on current policy.

2. Requests to deviate from any installation facilities standards, that are Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) requirements, will follow the process outlined in the AFCFS for UFC waivers and exemptions.

3. The IFS is a component plan of the Installation Development Plan (IDP) per Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-7062 (replacing the Architectural Compatibility Plan). All military construction projects and Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF) facilities are required to comply with the IDP and its IFS component plan by AFI 32-1023. The Base Civil Engineer (BCE) maintains and implements the IDP and its component plans, to include the IFS.

4. Please refer to the AFCFS website as a portal to reference materials and requirements documents for design and construction projects (via links). Specific references to current DoD memoranda and Air Force criteria are updated periodically to provide the most current guidance and requirements. Programming, design and contract documents should list “current edition” for all reference and requirements documents. The documents in force at the date of execution of the design and/or construction contract shall be the governing version.

5. Advanced Modeling Requirements:

For all Air Force projects requiring advanced modeling, to include 3D visualization, Building Information Modeling (BIM), facility data, quantity take-off, geospatial, etc., follow the Army standards. Refer to USACE Minimum Model Matrix (M3) and Project Execution Plan (PxP) which outline required model uses. Refer to CAD BIM Technology Center (Contract Requirements) for more information on M3 and PxP.

6. Joint Bases shall implement IFS under their Joint-Base designation with volume numbers for individual installations following the IFS Development Tool template. For example, for Joint Base Langley-Eustis, provide: Vol. 1 Langley AFB and Vol. 2 Fort Eustis.

7. References and Supplementary Documents listed in Appendix G are included in these Installation Facilities Standards by reference and are fully part of this document. Please refer to Appendix G for a listing of documents, which are available via hyperlink for viewing and downloading.

CSOC Groundbreaking Ceremony

Early Installation Development

General Bernard A. Schriever

In 1979, the Air Force approved plans for a military installation to provide operational control and support of existing and future satellite constellations. In the early 1980s, the Air Force initiated its search for the location for the new Consolidated Space Operations Center (CSOC), which was prompted by the limited expansion capability at the Sunnyvale, California, CSOC (later named Onizuka AFS).

The DoD announced in 1981 that a new CSOC would be located east of Colorado Springs. Preliminary plans for CSOC called for a consolidation of Air Force space systems control operations and Air Force Space Shuttle operations. Construction of the CSOC

Page 9 of 142Schriever Air Force Base IFS began on 17 May 1983, and on 8 July 1985, the 2 SW was activated in a ceremony at the new Falcon AFS. The 2 SW assumed operational control of the Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) in October 1987.

Falcon AFS was renamed Falcon AFB on 13 June 1988. In September 1990, the JNTF was opened, and in January 1992, the inactivated 50 TFW was reactivated as the 50 SW to assume host responsibilities at Falcon AFB. In November 1993, the Space Warfare Center (SWC) was activated, and in September 1997, the 310th Space Group (SG) was also activated. The 310 SG was then re-designated the 310 SW on 7 March 2008.

On 5 June 1998, Falcon AFB was renamed Schriever AFB after General Bernard Schriever, widely recognized as the father of the Air Force missiles and space programs. The initial planning for Schriever Air Force Base (SAFB) began in the early 1980's, when the initiated a search for an alternate location for the Satellite Control Facility at Sunnyvale AS, (later renamed Onizuka, AS). This search was prompted by the limited capacity for expansion Sunnyvale. In 1981, the Department of Defense announced that the Consolidated Space O Center (CSOC) would be built approximately 10 miles east of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Ground breaking took place during May 1983, and two years later on 8 July 1985, Falcon Air Station activated. The 2nd Space Wing (2SW) assumed control of the Air Force Satellite Control N (AFSCN) during 1987.

In June of 1988, Falcon AS was re-designated as an Air Force Base as a part of the Air Force wide restructuring. On 30 January 1992, the 50th Space Wing (50SW) replaced the 2SW as the host unit at FAFB. On 5 June 1998, FAFB was renamed Schriever AFB, after General Bernard Schriever, father of the Air Force space and missile program.

In 2017, the National Space Defense Center (NSDC), formerly the Joint Interagency Combined Space Operations Center (JICSpOC), was established in conjunction with U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), AFSPC, and the intelligence community. Also in 2017, (USSTRATCOM) directed an organizational restructure of space forces combining AFSPC/CC and Joint Functional Component Command for Space (JFCC Space) personnel to create the Joint Force Space Component (JFSC) at Schriever AFB.

Hierarchy of Streets

Street Envelope Section

Typical Street View

1. Develop and evolve a hierarchical transportation network of arterial, collector and local streets following UFC 3-201-01 and its industry references.

2. Provide consistent functionality throughout the installation and a level of visual quality relating to the adjacent Facility

Group number.

3. Routes along facilities in Group 1 may have materials, finishes and features with a higher visual quality than Groups 2, 3 and 4. Reduce maintenance requirements by installing highly durable materials and finishes in routes along Group 3 industrial facilities.

4. Special routes may have a visual quality comparable to those along facilities in Group 1.

5. Create and maintain arterials with two lanes of traffic in each direction with landscaped or paved medians as applicable to the local climate and adjacent land use.

6. Minimize stops and turns along arterials. Eliminate on-street parking along arterials and collector streets.

7. Connect arterials to local streets with appropriately scaled collector streets.

8. Provide appropriate landscape setbacks and pedestrian buffers along all streets.

9. Minimize and consolidate curb cuts along streets.

10. Provide two basic types of lanes (travel and auxiliary) throughout the street system to accommodate continuous

“through” traffic and to satisfy requirements for turning, parking, and emergency and service vehicles. Turning lanes may be used as either left-turn or right-turn lanes at intersections.

11. Define bicycle traffic routes in the Installation Development plan or its applicable component plans. Currently there is too little bicycle traffic to warrant designate bike lanes on streets. Bike trails with connections to off-installation trails should be considered.

12. Use consistent landscape treatment at all base entrances. Plant material massing, spacing, and height are characteristics that should visually reinforce the type of street.
