PURPOSE AND SCOPE.

This UFC provides guidelines for evaluating, planning, programming, and designing libraries. Guidance is provided for developing library facilities appropriate for each installation to combine with operations and population requirements.

This information must be used by architects/engineers (A/E), designers, base civil engineers (BCE), library directors, command and headquarters' review personnel, and others involved in developing and approving library construction projects. It is intended to help all participants better understand contemporary library requirements, programs, and design criteria so they can effectively participate in the project development process.

For Navy libraries located within Historic Resource Facilities (HRF), refer to FC 4-760-10N, Navy Museums and Historic Resource Facilities, for additional requirements.
