Facilities Standardization: Improving a Successful Program

Abstract

Since 1985, the USACE has used the Department of the Army (DA) facilities Standardization Program to implement a comprehensive design standardization program. Thus far, the program has met many of its objectives: it has ensured consistent quality, appearance, and functional productivity of standardized facilities and has simplified and reduced the time needed to plan, program, design, and construct new facilities. However, the program can be even more effective by taking advantage of opportunities to reduce the life-cycle cost of standard facilities during design and construction.
