Programming development process. Programming includes determining user requirements, developing solutions, identifying funding sources, and B. Scope and Use forwarding programming documents to This Design Guide is applicable to all the appropriate review and approval Design projects for AMC Passenger authorities . Each program should be Terminals at Air Force bases in the consistent with the base comprehensive Continental United States (CONUS) and plan for new and existing facilities.

It provides criteria for The Requirements Documents (RD). determining program requirements, site defines the program for Design of an development, and overall Terminal individual project, including functional Design , but is not intended to provide all requirements, Design criteria, and cost of the information needed to identify information. Any unique, local project requirements or to successfully requirements concerning building prepare project designs.

Obtain additional information on unique program and Design requirements of the Terminal project at the installation level. 1. AMC Passenger Terminal 3. Site Planning Throughout the entire Design process, Effective planning will support the give preference to the use of overall objectives for Passenger environmentally friendly materials as Terminals, lead to a timetable for project described in Air Force Environmentally completion, and be long term.

7 Responsible Facilities Guide . The siting of the Passenger Terminal is Compliance with all applicable building important. Terminals require access to codes is mandatory. Life safety codes the flight line, but do not need to be and force protection requirements take located on the flight line. Where local priority over other requirements. All conditions permit, locate Passenger areas should be barrier free and Terminals on the flight line, preferably accessible in accordance with the near the center of the apron where the Americans with Disabilities Act aircraft are parked. This will minimize Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings travel time to and from aircraft. and Facilities (ADAAG) and Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS). The site must be large enough to When there is a conflict, use the more accommodate the Terminal 's functions stringent policy. and allow reasonable access to all functional areas. Whenever possible, Prepare a Comprehensive Interior allocate space for possible expansion of Design (CID) package for the Terminal in the Terminal and adaptation to future conjunction with any major Design base mission reassignment or additional project.

8 The CID package addresses aircraft capacity. Other variables to interior finishes, artwork, signs, consider in site selection are physical furnishings, and accessories. It ensures security requirements, local weather that even minor upgrade projects meet conditions, results of soil analysis, and the Design objectives for the entire utility availability. Terminal . Refer to the AMC Interior Design Guide for an expanded general When planning a new Facility , propose a discussion of interior Design . site prior to completing DD Form 1391. Requirements identified during the DD A well-coordinated Design will integrate Form 1391 phase may influence final architecture, engineering, interior Design site selection. and infrastructure throughout the Design process.
