FOREWORD The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD(AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (AFCESA) are responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is the responsibility of the cognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be sent to the respective service proponent office by the following electronic form: Criteria Change Request (CCR). The form is also accessible from the Internet sites listed below. UFC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the following source: Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG) web site http://dod.wbdg.org. Hard copies of UFC printed from electronic media should be checked against the current electronic version prior to use to ensure that they are current. AUTHORIZED BY:

Construct a 100-member U.S. Army Reserve Training Center (USARC), anUnheated Storage Building, and a two-workbay Area Maintenance SupportActivity (AMSA)/Organizational Maintenance Shop (OMS). Buildings willbe of permanent construction with reinforced concrete foundations,concrete floor slabs, structural steel frames, masonry veneer walls,standing seam metal roof, HVAC systems, plumbing, mecahnical systems,security systems, and electrical systems. Supporting facilitiesinclude land clearing, paving, fencing, general site improvements, andextension of utilities to serve projects. Force protection (physicalsecurity) measures will be incorporated into design including maximumstandoff distance from roads, parking areas, and vehicle unloadingareas; berms, heavy landscaping, and bollards to prevent access whenstandoff distance cannot be maintained.AIR CONDITIONING: 211 kws (55 Tons)

PROJECT: Construct a 100-member U.S. Army Reserve Training Center(USARC), an Unheated Storage Building, and a two-workbay AreaMaintenance Support Activity (AMSA)/Organizational Maintenance Shop(OMS). (Current Mission)

REQUIREMENT: This project will provide facilities necessary to conductand support training of the reserve components by replacing theexisting government-owned 1959 vintage facility located on leased land.This project includes construction of a 100-member training facilitywith administrative areas, classrooms, library, learning center,assembly hall, arms vault, and unit storage functions for one FSP Tier1A Engineer Unit. The construction of the OMS shop consists of twoworkbays and maintenance administrative areas to support 3 fulltimemechanics and 1 maintenance administrative personnel. The project willalso provide adequate parking space for all military and privately ownedvehicles.

CURRENT SITUATION: The Eldridge-Harrington USARC, constructed in 1959,consists of a government-owned 12,189 square feet training building,and a 3,050 square feet maintenance building located on a three acrenominal land lease from the Board of Trustees of the Arkansas StateTeachers College, now the University of Central Arkansas, that expiresin 2056. One Engineer Company and an AMSA Sub-Shop occupy thefacility. The current utilization rate is 168% for the trainingbuilding and 135% for the maintenance building. The site is completelyenclosed by the University campus prohibiting future expansion.

IMPACT IF NOT PROVIDED: The Engineer Company would continue to trainin their current facilities. The operation of engineer equipmentdisrupts the surrounding University resulting in negative communityimpact. The overcrowded existing facilities do hamper in the trainingand readiness of the unit.

ADDITIONAL: This project was coordinated with the 90th RegionalSupport Command physical security plan and no forceprotection/combating terrorism measures other than those required byregulations and design guides for protecting Federal property areincluded.

JOINT USE CERTIFICATION: The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army(Installations and Housing) certifies that this project has beenconsidered for joint use potential. This facility will be available foruse by other components.
