Diners Reef Dining Facility DV Room Enclosure

Statement of Need

20 Feb 25

1. Requirement: The Mission Support Group Commander is requesting the installation of an enclosed area within the Diners Reef Dining Facility (Building 263) to serve as a Distinguished Visitor (DV) Area. This space is essential to providing privacy for leadership discussions, official engagements, and high-level meetings.

MacDill Air Force Base supports two Combatant Commands and two Wings, frequently hosting senior leaders of all ranks, visiting dignitaries, and organizations conducting official business.

The Diners Reef Dining facility is one of the busiest facilities on base, open to the public and serving as a central hub for all personnel. Due to the high volume of foot traffic, noise levels within the facility make it difficult to conduct required discussions in the DV room requiring discretion.

Additionally, the base receives approximately 300 reservations annually for the DV area.

However, the current open-air design of the space compromises the ability to hold sensitive conversations due to the elevated volume required for speech and the nature of the discussions.

An enclosed DV area is necessary to maintain operational security and professionalism while ensuring accessibility and awareness.

2. Characteristics: The existing framework is largely in place. Required work will enclose two open entry points that require black aluminum framing with ¼” glass and double doors (1/4” glass). One set of double doors per enclosure. Additionally, ¼” glass pane windows are required for three window openings located along the interior wall of the area.
