Squadron Operations and Aircraft Maintenance Unit Design Guide

ARCHIVED ARCHIVED Letter from the Commander

Air Combat Command has a long heritage of facilities excellence. Quality facilities which meet the users’ needs, are technically sound and compatible with their environment enhance mission eﬀectiveness and readiness.

The Squadron Operations and Aircraft Maintenance Unit facilities are among the most important in the Air Force. As such these facilities must provide the space and elements to be functional, safe, and foster pride that will reﬂect in unit performance.

As we improve the functional- ity of our Squadron Operations/ Aircraft Maintenance Unit facilities with good upfront planning and smart decision-making, Air Combat Command will con- tinue it’s tradition of providing design and facilities excellence.

This guide was developed to set the standard for Squadron Operations and Aircraft Maintenance Unit facilities. This guide should be used during the programming, design, and construction process to ensure we provide quality facilities to our Airmen. The concepts in this document have as much to do with common sense and mindset as with the need for funding. Quality facilities and tight budgets are not mutually exclusive.

The overall design should present an attractive image for the facility while maintaining compatibility with the planning and style of adjacent existing structures.

The building should be located on the site to reflect local climatic conditions and take advantage of pas- sive solar heating and day lighting of administrative and recreation areas where available. Whenever possible, provide protection from undesirable winds and glare, expose activity areas to the sun in cold climates, shade from excessive sun in warm climates, and ori- ent operable windows to utilize summer breezes.

Consideration should be given to the organization of the site when specifying location and proximity between the flight line and aircraft hanger. Minimize the distance workers need to travel when carrying heavy loads.

The Life Support shop and the Aircraft Maintenance Unit Tool and Part Storage will need easy, level access provided from the flight line and hangar through motion sensor ac tivated double sliding doors for workers carrying heavy loads (parachutes, survival kits, survival gear, tool boxes, etc.) and pushing tool carts. Site Utilities

Standard utilities such as water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage system and fire suppression sprinkler supply, natural gas, steam service or fuel oil system, whichever is used, and electric power supply should be provided. Telephone and fiber optic communication lines for LAN, secure communications and the fire alarm system(s) should also be provided. Landscaping

Provide a zeroscaping landscaping approach or one that includes native landscaping materials low maintenance using only approved plant material identified in the base’s Architectural Compatibility Guide. Consider using ground cover instead of turf with a water-conserving underground irrigation system when appropriate to the climate and planting design.

Outdoor Recreation Space

Outdoor recreation space, located on the exterior perimeter of the building adjacent to the Ready Room and the Heritage Room, should be provided and include benches, tables, paved walkways and landscaping. The recreation space should be enclosed with secure perimeter fencing, if required to meet AT/FP Standards and base security requirements for the location, and have a secure entry into the building using card swipe door hardware.

A designated “SmokingARCHIVED Area” should also be provided. This covered and shielded area outside of the hangar should be designed to complement the Squadron Operations and Aircraft Maintenance Unit Facility. No wooden gazebos are allowed to be used for the “Smoking Area”. Other specific requirements will vary by base. Site Selection and Design 11
