VANCE COMPATIBILITY GUIDE

m5ecdckd Typewritten Text m5ecdckd Typewritten Text Added by Amendment 0004

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

To understand architectural compatibility and how it affects the Air Force, an understanding of the term is necessary. Compatible is generally defined as “the ability to exist and perform in harmonious combination.” Architectural compatibility results from designing and building facilities in harmony with their natural and man-made surroundings and environment. Therefore, architectural compatibility is concerned not only with the physical appearance of buildings, but with site planning, landscape development, security, and sustainability.

Military installations should provide efficient and pleasant physical environments conducive to attracting and retaining skilled and motivated personnel. The design, location, and maintenance of individual elements such as buildings, roads, parking lots, signs, and landscaping create the quality of the environment. Each of the elements should be functional, attractive, and harmonious with each other. This helps to create an environment that enhances the capability of the installations to support their mission and fosters pride in, and a commitment to military service.

Adoption of these guidelines by base leadership will ensure compliance and result in a homogenous community fabric improving overall installation appearance and mission effectiveness.

Specific study objectives include:

• To promote the sense of a unified community by strengthening the prevailing character of the base

• To define goals and objectives leading to more consistency for leadership decision-making

• To achieve better utilization of space through design standardization

• To provide a view of the base in terms of Visual Districts

• To discuss recommended architectural themes for each Visual

District

• To define Visual District edges that require screening

• To identify all “Destination Buildings” on the base

1. Introduction

1.1 PURPOSE

The purpose of the Architectural Compatibility Guide (ACG) is to establish and document installation-specific standards and provide a tool to assure these standards are consistently applied. The Architectural Compatibility Plan strives to recognize the cultural, environmental, climatic and existing facility conditions particular to Vance AFB and define the appropriate styles, finishes, and materials to be used to achieve the best facility life-cycle costs and still retain the appropriate environment for people to achieve their highest productivity and efficiency.

• Provide a record of established goals, objectives, and decisions leading to more consistent decisions when a change in installation leadership occurs.

• Improve the environment through the installation’s construction projects.

• Provide a mechanism for environmental design continuity.

• Develop a baseline for review and, if necessary, for changes that may occur as a result of redirection in goals and objectives.

• Establish consistency in installation development which takes into account all elements of the environment.

• Control design expression. These controls should not be so specific that design freedom is restricted. A designer should have sufficient latitude for creativity.

• Provide clear and consistent communication between the Air Force and designers; whether they are in-house or contracted professionals.

• Improve programming and budgeting by limiting the range of options and promoting consistency.

• Impart a sense of pride, organization, vitality, and good management. The installation should convey the feeling that it is a good place to work and live. It should reflect a leadership that cares about its people.

1.2 USE & IMPLEMENTATION

The Architectural Compatibility Guide is a tool to chart a course towards installation excellence and provides a means to assess the installation’s progress in achieving that end. The Architectural Compatibility Guide is intended to be used at all stages of the facility delivery process from programming through construction, and even operations and maintenance. It is essential that the Architectural Compatibility Guide be provided to the design agent and AE consultants early in the design process to assure that the entire design team understands the applicable design standards and objectives for the project.

Implementing a strict design review process is important to ensure the Architectural Compatibility Plan is followed as projects are conceived, designed, and constructed. The flowchart to the left outlines the typical process for ensuring compliance with this guide.

2. Base Information

2.1. INSTALLATION PROFILE

2.1.1 LOCATION

Vance Air Force Base (VAFB) is located on the south side of Enid, Oklahoma, approximately 94 miles northwest of Oklahoma City and 1,307 ft above sea level. The installation is situated about five miles south of downtown Enid on land which once produced bumper wheat crops. Vance AFB occupies 2,122 acres with a total of 368 buildings (138 buildings and 230 MFH units). There are approximately 2,449 employees at VAFB (1109 military, 140 civil service, and 1,200 contractors).

2.1.2 MISSION SUMMARY

Vance is one of the premier undergraduate air education and training locations in the United States Air Force (USAF) since the inception of the base in 1941. The 71st Flying Training Wing, the host unit, conducts joint specialized undergraduate pilot training (JSUPT) for qualified United States military officers and also international officers. Flying training is also provided for members of the Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve and the air forces of several allied countries. Major associate units include the 8th Flying Training Squadron, the 25th Flying Training Squadron, the 33d Flying Training Squadron, the 32d Flying Training Squadron, the 5th Flying Training Squadron, the 71st Operations Group, the 71st Mission Support Group, and the 71st Medical Group. Since 1960, VAFB has contracted much of the base’s operation, including maintenance and support services, aircraft and base maintenance, ground transportation, fire protection, procurement, supply, civil engineering, flight simulation, and personnel and management services.

2.1.3 HISTORY OF BASE

The base opened for military use in 1941 and the first building was occupied in November of that year. The installation was generally referred to as Air Corps Basic Flying School of Enid, Oklahoma. It was not until Feb. 11, 1942 that the base was officially named Enid Army Flying School. The mission of the school was to train aviation cadets to become aircraft pilots and commissioned officers in the Army Air Corps. The first aircraft used was the BT-13A, later supplemented by the BT-15. These were the only aircraft used for basic pilot training during World War II. However, in 1944 advanced students were graduated in the TB-25 and TB-26.

As the demand for pilots decreased after World War II, the installation was slated for temporary inactive status between 1947 and

Architectural Compatibility Guide Page 6 of 68

1948. However, with the creation of the U.S. Air Force as a separate service in September 1947, it became evident that once again the Enid training facilities would be required. Upon reactivation, the name was changed to Enid Air Force Base in 1948 as one of the pilot training bases within the Air Training Command. Its mission was to provide training for advanced students in multi-engine aircraft. The four-month program, later expanded to six months, included training in the AT-6 and TB-25.

In keeping with the Air Force tradition of naming bases for deceased Air Force flyers, the base was renamed after a local World War II hero and Medal of Honor winner, Lt Col Leon Robert Vance, Jr. in 1949. The twin-engine T-37 jet, designed as a primary trainer, became operational at the base in 1961. The T-38 replaced the T-33 in 1963-1964, an advanced supersonic jet trainer. In 1960, Vance was the first base selected by the Air Force as part of an extended experiment in contract services. Under such plan, a civilian contractor furnishes the support facilities normally provided by base agencies including aircraft and base maintenance, ground transportation, fire protection, procurement, supply, and other services. The support contract began in 1960 with Serv-Air.

All military training continues, however, under military supervision.

Vance took over the fixed wing qualification training program in 1987. The program, which is basically an accelerated version of UPT (Undergraduate Pilot Training), teaches helicopter pilots to fly fixed wing aircraft. In 1990, Air Force officials announced that Vance would add a new aircraft to its inventory, the Beechcraft T-1 Jayhawk. The installation moved to specialized undergraduate pilot training in September 1995. Under this program, all students start out flying the T-6, then branch off to specialized training. Those heading for tanker/transport assignments subsequently train in the T-1, while fighter, bomber, and reconnaissance pilots train in the T-38. Joint training with the Navy became a reality in 1996, and Navy and Marine Corps student pilots subsequently arrived on base.

2.2. LOCAL CHARACTERISTICS

2.2.1 CLIMATE & WEATHER

The climate of the region varies from hot, humid summers to short, gusty winters. Early evening thunderstorms and tornadoes are common in summer and spring, while winters are shorter and less rigorous than other northern Plains states. Oklahoma is in America’s Tornado Alley. Tornadoes are a particular hazard in this area, in that the frequency of occurrence per unit area is among the highest in the world. Average temperatures range from 25 degrees in the winter to 93 degrees in the summer. Average annual precipitation ranges from 12-17 inches, with May the wettest month and December the driest.

Fairly steady winds blow through the region, with occasionally extremely gusty days.

In the summer, winds are predominantly from the south, and in the winter, they are predominantly from the northwest. The severe weather conditions at Vance AFB affect the overall architectural elements and the use of outdoor spaces.

2.2.2 PREVAILING ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER

The character of Vance AFB is represented by numerous architectural styles including World War II, industrial, institutional modern and contemporary. The base’s history, its functional use requirements, and its considerable construction has produced a mixed character.

Despite the variety of materials and styles present on base, efforts to provide architectural compatibility are evident in the color palette.

Red standing seam metal roofs, dark brown trim, red-orange brick, EIFS, and beige metal siding are all examples of the present materials used in the installation. Continued efforts to provide an architecturally cohesive installation should be encouraged to provide a good basis for an attractive environment.
