MIL-HDBK-1036A

3.8.1     Sleeping Room/Bedroom.  The allowable sleeping room

area is the net living space for each E1 to E4 personnel assigned

to a room.

a)  For permanent party personnel, the minimum net living area is 11 sq. m. per person.  See Figures 1, 2, 3.

b)  For transient party personnel, the minimum net living area is 90 sq. ft. per person.  See Figures 4, 5, and 6.

3.8.2     Personal Closets.  Provide one in-room storage closet located in each bedroom per person.  Provide each closet with closet organizers with storage extending to the ceiling, and solid core wood doors with heavy duty, lockable hardware.  A separate locking hasp allowing for personal keyed locks is acceptable.  Provide additional storage in service areas as appropriate.  Closets should be full height, using the space above normal door height for bulk storage.  Provide continuous ventilation in closets to resist mold and mildew growth. Personal closets are to be a minimum of 2 sq. m. (Figures 4 and

5).  (2+2) closets may be smaller for renovations which do not provide allowance, as shown in Figure 6.

a)  Provide integral full-length hanging rods for coats and shelves.  Refer to the suggested furniture and fixtures schedule, and par. 4.44.

b)  Light all closets.  A light with motion activated switch is required in deep closets and is recommended in others. Carefully placed lighting outside 2-foot-deep closets is acceptable.  The goal is to allow clear view of closet contents and, in the case of clothes closets, to facilitate color choice and dressing.  Refer to par. 4.49.

c)  Secure closets with standard hinged doors with non- removable pin hinges and locking hardware.  Bi-fold and sliding doors are not acceptable since they are less durable than hinged doors.

3.8.3     Bathroom/Toilet Facilities

a)  (1+1) modules (Figures 1, 2, and 3) provide one bathroom per apartment module to be shared by two E1 to E4 personnel.  For new construction, provide bathrooms with a combination tub and shower.
