MIL-HDBK-1036A
Section 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Scope. This military handbook, MIL-HDBK-1036A, provides the basic design criteria for Navy and Marine Corps bachelor housing. It presents guidance for development of designs for bachelor housing, enlisted and officer, taking into
account local program operations and requirements, as well as the new Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Construction Standards. Refer to the Secretary of Defense Memorandum, dated
6 November 1995, in the front of this handbook, before the table of contents.
1.1.1 Purpose. This handbook is applicable to projects in the Continental United States, (CONUS), and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). It applies to new facilities and renovation projects. It provides information needed to produce a design for a specific project. Use this handbook in conjunction with Department of Defense (DOD) and other Department of Navy criteria that give related guidance. This handbook is
not a substitute for programming research by the designers, and it recognizes that local climates, geography, communities, mission needs, and changing programs necessitate some special requirements for bachelor housing. It follows consensus tri- service norms for area per occupant that are within the DOD established maximums for construction. It also establishes the minimum design standards for size and quality. Designers are encouraged to exceed these standards where appropriate. It provides criteria for determining:
a) Site evaluation and planning b) Landscape design
c) Facility design d) Interior design
1.1.2 Cancellation. This handbook, MIL-HDBK-1036A, dated
20 August, 1997, cancels and supersedes MIL-HDBK-1036, dated
5 May 1995.
1.1.3 Related Criteria. Unique design requirements of a specific project are addressed individually by respective subject and/or engineering discipline design guidance.
