Gill, GS-15) Pages: 435 This Manual supplements AFI 32-1024, Standard Facility Requirements . It provides guidance for determining space allocations for Air Force facilities and may be used to program new facilities or evaluate existing spaces. It provides Facility space allowance guidance by category code (CATCODE). These criteria are used in assigning occupancy of existing facilities and in programming new facilities. This Manual is applicable to all active duty, civilian, Air Force Reserve (AFR) personnel and units; particularly Air Force commanders and managers, who plan, program, review, certify, and approve Air Force facilities.

2 Civil Air Patrol may adopt this guidance at the discretion of the applicable installation commander, per AFI 10-2701. This Manual does not authorize the use of appropriated funds, non-appropriated funds, or private funds for the construction or conversion of facilities. Refer recommended changes and questions about this publication to the Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) using the AF Form 847, Recommendation for Change of Publication; route AF Forms 847 from the field through appropriate functional chain of command.

3 2 AFMAN32-1084 26 FEBRUARY 2016 SUMMARY OF CHANGES Revises AFMAN 32-1084, 20 April 2012 to incorporate the Compliance Statements recommended for edit, rewrite, and reduction. This was due to the Publication Assessment for Reform. All changes accepted has been incorporated in this revision. In addition, the current reference (AFMAN 32-1094) to the Air Force Criteria for Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory design and Construction has been replaced with FC 4-218-01F. This document has been substantially revised and should be completely reviewed. Revisions include incorporating the list of Offices of Primary Responsibility (OPR) previously found in AFI 32-1024, Standard Facility Requirements within this document and updating office symbols. The Air Force Category Code designations have been replaced using the Real Property Classification System (RPCS), and each Facility -type is described using a new format.

4 Where applicable, office spaces have been realigned with rank-based standards. Space management priorities have been cross-referenced with industry standards ( , OSCRE [Open Standards Consortium for Real Estate] and BOMA [Building Owners and Managers Association]) for use in future Asset Management databases. The Standard Facility Requirements for most Air Force missions have been updated, however, Facility Requirements for newer, unique or future weapon systems are unknown or under development at the time of this document s publication and therefore not included in this revision.
