MEMORANDUM FOR SECRETARIES OF THE MILITARY DEPARTMENTS

SUBJECT:  Design and Construction of Unaccompanied Enlisted

Personnel Housing (UEPH)

Under Title 10 USC, Section 2856, the Secretary of Defense is required to establish the maximum allowable area per occupant for new, permanent, barracks construction.  This memorandum complies with that requirement and establishes a new standard design criterion for future permanent party UEPH construction. The new standard does not apply to housing constructed for transients, recruits, or members receiving entry-level skill training.  The standard is optional for barracks outside CONUS funded by other than the United States or constrained by site

conditions, and for barracks to house other than full-time active duty Service members.

New construction (and rehabilitation where feasible) of UEPH will be based on a module consisting of two individual living/ sleeping rooms with closets and a shared bath and service area. The module will contain a maximum of 47 sq. m. of gross area, measured from the center lines of all enclosing interior walls

and to the outside face of exterior walls.  Designs should be developed to produce 11 sq. m. of net living area per living/sleeping room, measured from the inside face of the walls to include all clear floor areas.

The maximum overall gross UEPH area, including all modules and support spaces, will be 66 sq. m. per module.  To accommodate specific mission requirements, the Department of the Army is entitled to an additional overall gross UEPH area of

2 sq. m. per module.  Up to 4 sq. m. per module may be added to the 66 sq. m. overall gross UEPH area for high-rise facilities (over three stories) or to meet other site-specific requirements.

This standard should be implemented as soon as practical, taking into consideration UEPH projects are at various stages of design and construction. The standard may be waived by the Secretary of a Military Department under the following circumstances:
