3.2.2.7.6.1.1 The intent of the Residential Communities Initiative (RCI) is to improve the housing for military families by providing quality housing, built in attractive neighborhoods.

3.2.2.7.6.1.2 To ensure a uniform level of quality throughout the Residential Communities Initiative (RCI), Headquarters, Department of the Army has developed the “Standards for Housing at RCI Projects - Update # 2”. These standards apply to the construction, renovation, and condition of privatized housing. Compliance with these standards is mandatory unless the Department of the Army (DA) Residential Communities Initiative (RCI) office approves a waiver in writing. These standards apply to RCI projects with Community Development and Management Plan (CDMP) collaboration contracts awarded after January 1, 2005 and are not retroactive to previous projects.

3.2.2.7.6.1.3 All RCI projects planned or under design will meet the "Gold" SPiRiT rating (see Assistant Secretary of the Army Memorandum Subject: Sustainable Design and Development Requirements, dated 18 March 2003).

3.2.2.7.6.1.4 Installation Design Guides (IDG) and RCI Projects. RCI projects will apply installation practices and policies to RCI projects. Paragraph 3(b) of the “Standards for Housing at RCI Projects - Update # 2” reads; “Many installations have published guidelines and construction standards (e.g. Installation Design Guide) that may exceed or differ substantially from local codes and standards. It is DA RCI’s intention that installation practices and polices apply to RCI projects unless waived by appropriate installation authorities. If an installation guideline or standard appears unreasonable for an RCI project and a consensus solution cannot be reached at the installation level, DA RCI may be consulted in resolving the conflicting standards.”

3.5.11 Locks and Locking Devices. The implementation guidance for programmable electronic key card access systems policy memorandum issued 14 December 2004 is in the next two paragraphs. The basic memorandum requires the use of electronic, programmable electronic key card access systems for all new construction and major building renovations. See Memorandum for Record, Subject: The Army Standards for Electronic Key Card Access for all Facilities.

3.5.11.1 Beginning in FY07, electronic key card access systems must be included in projects for facility types listed in paragraph 3.5.11.2. Electronic key card access systems will be treated as real property and are subject to normal work classification regulations. Access systems will be funded using MILCON or operation and maintenance construction or repair appropriations.

Once technical implementation guidance is developed and published, all proposed FY06 and Congressional add projects that are less than 35% designed will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if electronic key card access systems should be incorporated.

3.5.11.2 Technical implementing guidance will be developed by HQDA and fielded by December 2005. The intent of the current policy memorandum is to utilize hotel room type card access systems on interior and exterior doors where keys are provided to successive tenants over the life of the building. The priority for implementation is Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing, Transient Lodging, Officers Quarters, Operational Readiness Training Complexes, Battalion/Brigade Headquarters, Company Operations Facilities, Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facilities, and Administrative Buildings.

3.5.11.3 Each Army installation will develop a master plan for the Electronic Key Card Access system. The master plan should specify that all buildings will use equipment from a single manufacturer so that there is consistency, compatibility, and sustainability across installed Electronic Key Card Access equipment. Each installation will be responsible for obtaining the appropriate sole source justification for their installation in coordination with the IMA region.

3.5.11.4 In keeping with the Transient Lodging Standards, spaces for access by Directorate of Public Works personnel may retain key systems until a project for full conversion of all DPW access can be executed. If a new building is being built on an installation that already has electronic key card access equipment on existing buildings, the requirement for a single-type or compatible equipment for the whole installation serving both existing and new facilities should be implemented.

ES.1 PURPOSE

The purpose of the Army Installation Design Standards (IDS) is to provide directives for the mandatory common facility and infrastructure standards for all Army installations. These standards set a common basis to facilitate the continuous improvement of the functional and visual aspects of all Army installations (Fig. 1-ES.1). It is also the purpose of these standards to promote sustainable designs and developments and to promote an integrated design process for all projects.

ES.2 AUTHORITY

Authority for this document is derived from the Message from Vice Chief of Staff Army (VCSA), dated 241209Z Apr 03, Subject: Army Installation Design Standards, which directs implementation of the Army Installation Design Standards effective 28 April 2003.

ES.3 APPLICABILITY

ES.3.1 This document is applicable to all installations and activities under jurisdiction and supervision of the Department of the Army in the United States, its territories and possessions, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and in foreign countries. This document applies to the National Guard and Army Reserves, and includes planning and development of base camps in theaters of operation.

ES.3.2 Organizational Responsibilities; Army Facilities Standardization Committee (AFSC) process for development of facilities standards, waiver, and change procedures are defined in Chapter 1, Introduction.

Fig. 1-ES.1 - The Army Installation Design Standards Facilitate Continuous Functional and Visual Improvements.

Page ES-2 03 May 2004

ES.4 BACKGROUND

ES.4.1 The Installation Design Standards (IDS) provide the Army Standards for all facilities. The Installation Design Guide Model follows the concept established in the Joint Service Unified Facilities Criteria Installation Design manual (UFC 2-600-01).

ES.4.2 Research was conducted to incorporate into Army standards the best practices from other organizations such as the Air Force, Navy, Army and Air Force Exchange Services (AAFES), General Services Administration (GSA), National Park Service, Federal Highway Administration, and various city and county governments, and associations.

ES.5 SCOPE

ES.5.1 The IDS consists of two parts.

ES.5.2 Part 1, Army Installation Design Standards. Part 1 of the IDS consists of six chapters, which provide comprehensive Army standards in the following areas:

• Site Planning Design Standards (Chapter 2)

• Building Design Standards (Chapter 3)

• Circulation Design Standards (Chapter 4)

• Landscape Design Standards (Chapter 5)

• Site Elements Design Standards (Chapter 6)

• Force Protection Design Standards (Chapter 7)

ES.5.2.1 Site Planning Design Standards

ES.5.2.1.1 Site planning is the process of arranging an external physical environment in complete detail to include the structures, circulation patterns, and other elements that form the built environment. The site planning and design process is used to develop a project that fulfills facility requirements and creates the optimal relationship with the natural site (Fig. 1-ES.2).

ES.5.2.1.2 The goal of site planning for Army installations is functional attractive, sustainable development. Sustainability requires the built environment to be designed and constructed to preserve and enhance the natural environment. Manmade facilities are designed as a part of the environment to minimize negative environmental impacts. General site planning techniques resulting in sustainable development are cost efficient because they conserve energy and reduce construction and maintenance costs.

Page ES-3 03 May 2004

ES.5.2.2 Building Design Standards

ES.5.2.2.1 Building design standards encompass the character of buildings as well as the arrangement of buildings to one another and to their environment. The use of architectural style, materials, and colors are given consideration in the development of an installation. Also, the preservation of historically and culturally significant structures is recognized for its importance in adding to an installation’s character and providing a sense of heritage (Fig.

1-ES.3).

ES.5.2.2.2 The Building Design Standards include standard for key facility types and for all facilities, sustainability, accessibility, use of materials, placement of entrances, incorporation of additions and renovations. The standards applying to all facilities are also established for physical security requirements, structural character, seismic design, exterior materials and colors, plazas and courtyards, service areas, interior design, the appropriateness and quality of building maintenance, mechanical systems, and electrical and communications systems.

ES.5.2.3 Circulation Design Standards

ES.5.2.3.1 Circulation design standards are relevant to the design and location of roadways, walkways, trail ways, bikeways, installation entrances, and parking lots. The primary roadway system and parking lots utilize considerable amounts of land and are a visually dominant element of any installation.

ES.5.2.3.2 The circulation system provides a primary vantage point from which all installations are viewed. Safe and efficient vehicular movement results in better orientation and contributes to the development of a positive environment for installation personnel and visitors (Fig.
