PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - P1338F II MEF SIMULATION/TRAINING CENTER REPLACEMENT - Page 1

2.0 PROJECT OBJECTIVES – P1338F II MEF

SIMULATION/TRAINING CENTER REPLACEMENT

2.1. Mission Statement

After Hurricane Florence, numerous Camp Lejeune facilities were rendered uninhabitable, including the existing training center, comprised of Buildings 125, 125A, 125B, 125C, 127, and H13. Severe structural, roof truss and water intrusion damage made Building 125 unable to be occupied, especially during high winds or heavy snow load conditions. These facilities, built in the 1940s and 1980s, were already in very poor condition due to their age and deterioration as well as inadequately sized for current operational needs. The hurricane exacerbated chronic material conditions with the facilities, impacting mission capability. Therefore, the existing operations will be replaced with and consolidated into new state-of-the-art facilities that will be constructed on a greenfield site. These facilities will include a new building with more area that will incorporate all training functions under one roof and satisfy the tenant’s needs and requirements to adequately conduct their day-to-day operations.

2.2. Facility Function

2.2.1. Overview

The new II MEF combined training facility will house the II MEF Simulation Center and II MEF CAST. The new facility will provide a modern training and education environment that facilitates training from the individual Marine through MAGTF and Joint Coalition level staffs. The new building will improve student and staff efficiency and allow for necessary computer and networking connectivity. Its main function is to train Marines and Sailors using a wide spectrum of training venues using computer-based simulations that span first-person simulations designed for individual and small units; to combined arms integration using current generation Combined Arms Command and Control Training Upgrade System simulations; to staffs ranging from company through MAGTF to include Allied Forces, using the current constructive simulation MTWS. The new facilities will provide reconfigurable spaces that will adapt to numerous training scenarios, whether small unit, Company, Battalion or MAGTF. The new facility will also include administrative functions directly related to the new combined training facility.

2.3. Project Specific Priorities

The specific priorities of this project include:

• Protecting the health, safety, and welfare of those who currently occupy the existing training facilities located in dated, hurricane-damaged, substandard buildings.

• Consolidation of a multitude of training missions under one roof. This includes personnel, equipment, and virtual simulation requirements from various existing facilities.

• Increase efficiencies in scheduling and deployment of these respective training exercises, offering considerable reductions in the cost of servers, various networking requirement, military support staff, and contractor support.

• The main functional aspects of the Simulation Training Center at Building 125, the Deployable Virtual Training Environment (DVTE) at Building 127, and the CAST at

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina Rev 01

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - P1338F II MEF SIMULATION/TRAINING CENTER REPLACEMENT - Page 2

Building H13 will be incorporated and consolidated into a new state-of-the-art training facility.

2.3.1. Sustainable Design and Construction

All NAVFAC projects are subject to sustainable design criteria and are required to meet the requirements of the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings (HPSB). The Guiding Principles are outlined in a cross disciplinary publication addressing requirements for new building construction and modernization of all federally owned facilities. Sustainable principles will be integrated into the design, development and construction of the project in accordance with Executive Order 13834 and other applicable laws and Executive Orders.

Design and construct the project to comply with sustainability requirements identified in Part 2 Section 01 33 29.05 20, Sustainability Reporting for Design-Build. Additional specific sustainability requirements are found in RFP Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 sections.

Design and construct the project in accordance with UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements. The UFC provides design, construction and modernization criteria for projects of all sizes. It outlines performance thresholds in energy and water, addresses criteria of indoor air quality, identifies resiliency concerns, addresses planning and design, and establishes a baseline across all of DOD for documenting sustainability. A major component of the policy established in this UFC is the Sustainable Third-Party Certification requirement for projects that reach specific size and cost thresholds.

Additional, agency-specific requirements can be found in NAVFAC Engineering & Construction Bulletins (ECBs) such as Issue No. 2014-02. ECB 2014-02 describes overall NAVFAC policy and guidance on sustainability and energy requirements.

2.3.2. Stormwater Management – Low Impact Development (LID)

Comply with UFC 3-210-10, Low Impact Development and FC 1-300-09N, Navy and Marine Corps Design Procedures. Additional specific LID and stormwater management requirements are found in RFP Parts 3 and 4, Section G30. In addition to LID, comply with state and local stormwater regulations.

2.3.3. Energy Efficiency

The level of energy performance the Government seeks may only be achieved through coordinated design of architectural, electrical, and mechanical elements. All energy systems must be designed in compliance with the following unless more stringent requirements are noted otherwise:

• UFC 1-200-02, HPSB Requirements.

• Energy Policy Act (EPAct), 2005

• Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA), 2007

• American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 189.1 - 2014

• ASHRAE/Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) Standard 90.1 - 2013.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina Rev 01

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - P1338F II MEF SIMULATION/TRAINING CENTER REPLACEMENT - Page 3

Energy consuming equipment and products must meet or exceed Energy Star or Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) efficiency levels. This includes built-in equipment (e.g., lights; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC); water heating; and industrial equipment) and collateral equipment (e.g., office equipment, information technology (IT), and task lighting).

For equipment types not rated by Energy Star or FEMP, equipment efficiencies must be in the top 25 percent of similar products. All purchased electronics must be Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT)-registered. In addition, provide an energy compliance analysis (ECA), which will demonstrate compliance with all energy-related requirements in UFC 1-200-02. Measure and record existing building utility consumption, and provide design-calculated, estimated energy savings and post-construction documentation and reporting of actual realized energy savings.

2.3.4. Building Commissioning

Provide commissioning to meet requirements identified in Section 01 91 00.15 22 Total Building Commissioning, and UFC 1-200-02 High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements.

2.3.5. Accessibility Requirements

Provide barrier-free design in accordance with UFC 1-200-01, General Building Requirements.

2.3.6. Antiterrorism Force Protection

The primary objective for the Marine Corps Base (MCB) security engineering is to ensure compliance with the Antiterrorism Force Protection (AT/FP) program requirements and applicable Marine Corps physical security measures in MCO 5530.14A, as supplemented by the UFC. The AT/FP program requirements and Marine Corps physical security measures are to safeguard personnel, equipment, and property. A risk analysis and vulnerability assessment (RAVA) has not been performed and a specific Design Basis Threat has not been identified.

The facility is considered inhabited and will be routinely occupied by 11 or more personnel.

The facility must be designed in accordance with UFC 4-010-01 Chapter 3, except that parking is not permitted in the minimum 33-foot, unobstructed space around the building. This includes low-occupancy portions of the building, as applicable, due to physical security and operational requirements. The facility must also be designed in accordance with the following requirements:

a) Antiterrorism Architectural Special Requirements: Installation Mission Assurance has requested security-conscious layouts and configurations for interior building spaces and building entrances. The goal is to improve antiterrorism safety without adding cost, without hardening the building, and without adversely affecting the usability of the building.

b) Building Entrance Orientation: Orient the main building entrance such that vehicles are not able to drive through the main building entrance. Where this is impractical, ensure that the entry storefront does not directly face a main hallway or a mass-gathering space. Lay out entrances to be welcoming and accessible, but also visibly protected and inaccessible to vehicles attempting a forced entry. The main entrance layout must be in compliance with UFC 4-010-01 Chapter 3-12, Standard 11, Building Entrance Layout. Where this section conflicts with Standard 11, Standard 11 must take precedence.

c) Proximity of Densely Populated Areas to Parking: To mitigate risks to densely populated areas, locate uninhabited, low-occupancy, and mechanical yard areas http://www.wbdg.org/ffc/dod/unified-facilities-criteria-ufc/ufc-1-200-01

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina Rev 01

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - P1338F II MEF SIMULATION/TRAINING CENTER REPLACEMENT - Page 4 adjacent to parking lots. Locate densely populated areas away from parking lots to the maximum extent possible given available site space and building square footage. Keep densely populated areas a minimum of 82 feet away from parking spaces, if sufficient site space is available. Uninhabited and low-occupancy spaces include spaces such as utility rooms, hallways and corridors without seating, and storage areas. Densely populated areas include classrooms, large break rooms, locker rooms, conference rooms, auditoriums, and other areas with a high-personnel density. During the concept development workshop (CDW), include the installation Antiterrorism Officer (Mission Assurance) in discussions for the preferred layout of mass-gathering and densely-populated administrative areas relative to the proposed site plan.

d) Antiterrorism Landscape Architecture Special Requirements: Installation Mission Assurance has requested security-conscious landscape features that afford improved protection to the building occupants. The goal is to improve antiterrorism safety without adding cost by using UFC-mandated landscape architecture features to protect vulnerable areas and using excess fill from the project site to provide landscaped berms.

A specific design-basis threat for an active shooter or vehicle attack does not apply;

therefore, the intent is to complement architectural layouts and civil site features to improve occupant protection within the project scope of work (SOW).

e) Vehicle Deterrent Landscaping: As part of a vehicle-deterrent perimeter, landscape features can provide significant physical and psychological deterrents to the risk of a vehicle ramming attack. Landscape features do not need to be rated passive vehicle barriers to afford greater security to the building occupants.

f) Unobstructed Space: Trees, plantings, and site furniture may be located within the minimum 33-foot unobstructed space around each building, provided they are compliant with the UFC 4-010-01 and UFC 3-201-02 requirements for landscaping in the minimum 33-foot unobstructed space. To eliminate concealment opportunities, berms in the minimum 33-foot unobstructed space must not exceed a height of 4 feet, 6 inches.

g) Large-Diameter Trees: Tree species that will grow to a large (6 inches or greater) diameter at breast height (DBH) provide an aesthetically pleasing and natural barrier to vehicle traffic. It is desirable to position large-diameter trees in the space between the building and parking lots or roads where permissible by code and feasible based on available site space. Provide tree plantings with at least a 4-inch DBH where the trees are integrated into the vehicle-deterrent perimeter. Multiple staggered rows of trees serve as highly-effective vehicle barriers once the trees have grown. Where providing multiple rows of trees, stagger and space the trees to eliminate any corridors exceeding a 5-foot width perpendicular to the adjacent roads or drive aisles. Final tree layout, spacing, and species selection must be approved by the Government Landscape Architect and installation Antiterrorism Officer or their designated representatives.

h) Concrete Site Features: Concrete benches and picnic tables are excellent deterrents to vehicles. Concrete planters are not desirable due to landscape maintenance issues and concealment concerns in the minimum 33-foot unobstructed space.

i) Berms and Ditches: Berms and ditches provide protection and can be integrated with the landscaping plan (e.g. trees along tops of berms and creeping juniper on the sides).

j) Elevated Plazas: For buildings that require elevated entryway access with stairs and accessible ramps, arrange the stairs, ramps, and low retaining walls or sloped soil so that they are positioned near the edge of the vehicle parking lot or adjacent roadways. A

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina Rev 01

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - P1338F II MEF SIMULATION/TRAINING CENTER REPLACEMENT - Page 5 steeper, landscaped, stabilized slope near the edge of the parking lot with a sidewalk in front of it serves as a visible deterrent to illegal parking and approaching vehicles.

k) Bollards at Building Entrances: Bollards are an option where other features such as stairs, pedestrian ramps, trees, or berms do not deter direct vehicle access to the main building entrance. Bollards are desirable for sidewalks and plazas leading to the main building entrance provided there is no adverse impact to pedestrian accessibility. A bollard spacing of 4 feet on center will meet Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Architectural bollards near the building entry are a desirable way to improve protection while improving site lighting (for lighted bollards) and aesthetic appeal. Removable bollards are acceptable and beneficial for future building maintenance. Coordinate with vehicle access control requirements as part of civil site design. Provide the option of either permanent or removable bollards, determined based on customer needs at the CDW and subsequent design review meetings.

l) Visual Screening Landscaping at Queuing and Entry Areas: Visual screening affords protection for building occupants and visitors against the potential for vehicular or active shooter threats. Landscaping that provides visual obscuration of building entrances and outdoor queuing or congregation areas is highly desirable to improve protection of personnel in exposed areas.

m) Antiterrorism Civil Site Design Special Requirements: Installation Mission Assurance has requested security-conscious site plans that afford improved protection to building occupants. The goal is to improve antiterrorism safety without adding cost by laying out necessary vehicle parking and stormwater features to protect vulnerable areas of the building. A specific design basis threat for an attack vehicle does not apply; therefore, the intent is to complement architectural layouts and landscaping features to improve occupant protection within the project SOW. The minimum 33-foot unobstructed space and vehicle access control requirements defined below are added scope items to manage nuisance parking and maintain the minimum 33-foot unobstructed space for base operational considerations.

n) Vehicle Access Control: All projects must include consideration for vehicle access control in the form of lockable swing gates and/or lockable removable bollards along driveways and access roads that lead to service areas around the building within the minimum 33-foot unobstructed space. Other open-plaza areas must be secured with permanent bollards in combination with removable bollards. Portions of buildings that must be secured within a restricted area fence (e.g., motor pools) are excluded from this requirement.

o) Service Area Access: Access for service areas around the building includes roads and driveways that lead to utility rooms, loading docks, mechanical yards, other areas in the minimum 33-foot unobstructed space that are used for building maintenance, and for roads that are only used for fire access.

p) Pedestrian Areas: Open plazas, hardscaping, and other outdoor pedestrian-congregation areas that are adjacent to a roadway must also feature vehicle access control integrated with permanent landscaping and civil site features as part of a vehicle-deterrent perimeter. Removable and fixed architectural bollards (lighted, where beneficial) are preferred for vehicle access control to open plazas, hardscaping, and other outdoor pedestrian-congregation areas with at least four removable bollards in a row for service access to these pedestrian areas. Provide the option of either permanent

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina Rev 01

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - P1338F II MEF SIMULATION/TRAINING CENTER REPLACEMENT - Page 6 or removable bollards, determined based on customer needs at the CDWand subsequent design review meetings.

q) Access Control Requirements: Where bollards are provided, space bollards 4 feet on center starting at each edge of the road or driveway. Where gates are provided, provide single- or double-leaf swing gates with posts that start at the edge of the roadway or behind the curb. Provide receiving posts to secure the gate in the open position. Gates must not encroach on the roadway or driveway while in the open position. Gates and bollards must be high-visibility and meet UFC requirements for signage, high-visibility, reflectivity, and striping to meet traffic safety requirements. Gates and bollards for vehicle access control to service areas and pedestrian-congregation areas need not be crash rated. Refer to UFC 4-022-03, Security Fences and Gates, for additional requirements for gates.

r) Vehicle-Deterrent Perimeter: Gates and bollards must be integrated with landscaping and civil site features to deter vehicles from bypassing the access control by driving around the barriers and to maintain a vehicle-deterrent perimeter.

s) Consolidating Access Control: Access roads to service areas around the building can be secured where the access road begins at the adjacent roadway or parking lot, provided this is integrated with the vehicle-deterrent perimeter, to reduce the total cost of providing vehicle access control to the minimum 33-foot unobstructed space.

t) Control Vehicle Speed: Arrange parking lot access roads and drive aisles so that any direct approaches to the building walls or building entrance cannot exceed 25 miles per hour. Speed limit signage alone is not sufficient to constrain vehicle speed. Speed limit control in parking lots and access roads is also desirable to improve pedestrian safety and reduce the risk of vehicle accidents.

u) Limit Vehicle Approaches to Building: Arrange access roads and drive aisles so that no vehicles have long, straight approaches directly at the exterior walls of the building, particularly at the building entrance. Keep the long axis of drive aisles parallel with the walls of the building to control the approach direction of a vehicle. Arrange access roads so that personnel do not drive directly facing the building walls or any entrance. For short drive aisles that run perpendicular to the long axis of the parking lot, coordinate with landscape architecture to provide civil site and landscaping features that visually or physically deter vehicle access. Alternatively, locate these perpendicular drive aisles beyond the ends of the building so traffic does not directly face the building walls or any entrance. Loading docks and heavy truck areas need not consider these requirements due to the impracticability of implementing this where building access is a requirement.

Provide curb stops in parking spots that are adjacent to the building to discourage vehicle parking in the minimum 33-foot unobstructed space.

v) Unobstructed Space and Vehicle-Deterrence: Provide a minimum 33-foot unobstructed space around the building without new parking, existing parking, new roadways, or new drive aisles. Keep existing roadways out of the minimum 33-foot unobstructed space to the maximum extent practicable. Provide berms, drainage swales and ditches, and other civil site features between the building and any adjacent parking lots or roadways as part of a vehicle-deterrent perimeter. Berms can also reduce offsite fill disposal costs, provided that fill is verified to be non-hazardous, non-contaminated.

The CDW must address how to integrate unobstructed space and vehicle-deterrence needs within the available site footprint in consultation with the installation Antiterrorism Officer.

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina Rev 01

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - P1338F II MEF SIMULATION/TRAINING CENTER REPLACEMENT - Page 7

w) Unobstructed Space Preferences: The installation mission-assurance personnel prefer larger unobstructed spaces where feasible, based on available site space. Unobstructed space need not exceed 82 feet for larger, open sites. This unobstructed space preference is to the mass-gathering portions of each facility that excludes open hangar areas, apparatus bays, and other areas that are specifically designed to be low-occupancy spaces as defined in UFC 4-010-01. Refer to paragraph 2.3.6.c, Proximity of Densely Populated Areas to Parking, for more information.

2.4. Appropriate Design

Design the new building and systems in accordance with all Codes, Standards, UFCs, and criteria explicitly and implicitly stated in this Design-Build RFP. Employ integrated design principles.

2.4.1. Building Design – Architecture

The II MEF Simulation Training Building exterior envelope design must follow the architectural design features prescribed in the Camp Lejeune Base Exterior Architectural Plan (BEAP), 2010 for Hadnot Point (Section 4.2). This document establishes key exterior materials, material finishes and colors, and building façade and roofing design elements to be incorporated into the building’s exterior design.

Options for the exterior wall design are listed in Part 3, Chapter 6, B20 Exterior Closure ESR.

Any of the listed options is allowed for the design of the exterior wall, as long as the design elements for the exterior wall defined in the BEAP are provided. An applicable 4:12 to 6:12 roof slope is defined in the BEAP for Hadnot Point.

Daylighting requirements prescribed in applicable codes and standards must be provided by only vertical fenestration elements that include vertical fenestration (windows) placed in exterior walls, a glazed exterior wall (curtain wall or storefront), vertical fenestration placed in building clerestories, or vertical fenestration elements placed in the steep sloped roofing that include dormers or monitors (raised roof area with clerestory windows above the sloped roof) that are compatible with BEAP prescribed elements and approved by MCBCL during the design process. All fenestration must incorporate shading devices/overhangs or other means to prevent direct sunlight entering occupied spaces and work surfaces per guidelines in applicable UFCs.

Skylights and solar tubes are prohibited for this project.

The building design floor plan must generally follow the arrangement of spaces indicated in the Blocking Diagram in Part 3, Chapter 4 of this RFP. Locations of break rooms and restrooms may vary from what is shown in the diagrams if the function of the primary training and administrative spaces are maintained due to the nature of the building’s classified and non-classified functions.

The massing of the building and roofing placement will be influenced by its final layout and configuration. The building design and design documentation must comply with applicable UFCs listed in Chapter 3, Part 1 and applicable building codes.

2.4.2. Civil/Site

General

The II MEF Simulation Training Building site as proposed will be located on what is currently a heavily wooded site on the northeast corner of McHugh Boulevard and Birch Street. A right-turn lane and a left-turn lane must be provided on McHugh Boulevard to provide direct access to the site. The first driveway accessed via the right turn lane on McHugh must line up with the existing driveway across McHugh Boulevard. This current existing driveway has a single entry off of McHugh Boulevard and a right and left turn lane pulling onto McHugh Boulevard. The new building will front McHugh Boulevard, with the loading area and mechanical yard at the rear of the building. A minimum 33-foot AT/FP unobstructed space requirement is applicable for this project. An 8-foot tall ornamental (not chain-link) Restricted Security Fence required for classification of exercises must envelope the building, concrete and grassed training areas, and the staff parking area adjacent to the building to the northwest (min 100 spaces). A dumpster pad and AT/FP compliant enclosure must be provided on the site outside the fenced area.

Parking and Access

Parking for the proposed facility is anticipated to be northwest of the site in the heavily wooded area along McHugh Boulevard. Additional student parking will be provided further to the northwest and requires 10 percent greenspace. For truck turning movements, use a WB-50 tractor trailer as the largest vehicle accessing the site. A segregated Military Owned Vehicle (MOV)-only drive aisle must be provided for access to the outdoor training areas. Provide emergency vehicle access, designed with required turning radii for emergency vehicles, immediately adjacent to the building, and provide associated gates. A minimum 12-foot-wide concrete pedestrian access must be provided from the parking areas to the building and from the building to the convenience store on the south side of Birch Street. Where indicated on the conceptual site plan in Part 6, outdoor space must be HS-20 load rated turf pavement to support emergency and tactical training vehicles and a separate turf area for communications tents.

Vehicle area must not be hardstand; grounding rods are driven for communications equipment.

Benches and picnic areas must be provided around the building to accommodate up to 50 people.

Utilities

Civil utilities available to the site include water, sewer, stormwater, and natural gas. Water borders the site on the west side, roughly in line with McHugh Boulevard. Provide fire hydrants inside of the secured fence to meet UFC requirements. Gravity sanitary sewer runs along the southeast side of the site. It is assumed at this time that the depth of the gravity sewer will be sufficient to serve the new facility. A closed storm drainage system must connect several storm drain inlets associated with the site, including parking lot drainage, to an NCDEQ approved stormwater control measure (SCM)and outfall to the northeast. Potential LID Stormwater Management Areas must be provided for the site to meet both NAVFAC LID and North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) permit requirements. Please note that pervious pavers and grass pave are not considered pervious area for NCDEQ stormwater permits. Pads for chillers and condensers must be provided on the ground level at an elevation above flood per UFC requirements

Geographic information system (GIS) information indicates electric and communications utilities run along the southwest side of the site along McHugh Boulevard. There is also overhead

2.5. Workflow Process

The new simulation training center consolidates multiple training missions, supporting a global DoD mission and providing instruction to over 100,000 DoD students annually. A variety of simulation-aided training functions will be incorporated. Therefore, multiple reconfigurable simulation rooms will be provided for maximum flexibility, as well as a group of flexible rooms, including an auditorium for 100 persons, between classified and non-classified areas. A single ISMT-E will be provided due to its specific requirements. In addition, administrative, briefing, server, and support spaces will also be housed in this facility.

The facility’s main entrance will be the student entrance to the south. A secondary main entrance on the west will be for administrative personnel. Flexible areas that can either be classified or non-classified will be provided between the classified and non-classified areas depending on the trainings being conducted.

There will be two separate sets of restrooms and breakrooms in the non-classified areas of the facility, one set dedicated to administrative personnel and the other dedicated to students, whether they are participating in classified or non-classified training. Students will also have access to two outside areas, pervious and impervious, for outdoor simulations. These will be accessible to the student restrooms that will include shower facilities.

2.5.1. Hours of Operation

Hours of operation for student instruction are from 0700 to 1700, Monday through Friday.

Instructors and other administrative staff will have access to the facility 24 hours per day, 7 days a week.

2.5.2. Staffing/Occupancy

The simulation training center is occupied primarily during daytime hours by students in training spaces and administrative staff in administrative departments.

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - P1338F II MEF SIMULATION/TRAINING CENTER REPLACEMENT - Page 14

The occupancy loads specified in the RFP and indicated in the Building Program in Part 3, Chapter 4 are identified for programming purposes. Determine occupancy loads to be used to design building features, such as structural, egress, and plumbing fixtures. The loads used must be as required in applicable building or life safety codes, based on the spaces provided in the building design.

2.6. Special Design Challenges

Special design challenges include the following:

• The large number of military construction (MILCON) facilities that are to be built at or around the same time as the II MEF Simulation Training Center at Camp Lejeune may create challenges with both material and labor availability. The design of the building and systems selected for exterior envelope materials must take these challenges into account.

• Creating a separation between the facility’s classified and non-classified areas is a challenge and, more so, creating the required flexible areas between them. These areas need to be easily interchangeable as classified or non-classified as necessary for current training operations.

2.7. Adaptability and Flexibility

The II MEF Simulation Training Center provides flexibility in allowing the simulation classrooms to be adjoined by utilizing folding panel partitions. The combined enlarged classrooms provide for instructional flexibility. Also, the facility allows for flexibility between classified and non-classified trainings.
