1.PURPOSE

This guide provides commanders with the Air Mobility
Command (AMC) approach to interior design. Use it to
educate and assist base designers, AMC design agents, and
architectural/engineering firms working on all AMC interior
renovation and new construction projects.

2.PHILOSOPHY

Quality interior design for AMC reflects “understated
excellence” and assures that our facilities are attractive,
environmentally safe, operationally efficient, and
maintainable. The interior designer must strive for sound
economical, functional, and aesthetic design achievements.
Well-designed facilities satisfy the user’s needs, instill pride of
ownership, and promote productivity in the workplace.

3.DESIGN GUIDE SCOPE AND USE

• Structural Interior Design (SID) – This process involves
the selection and coordination of interior materials and
finishes that are part of the building or are built-in items
(i.e., cabinets, equipment, etc.).
• Comprehensive Interior Design (CID) – This process
involves designing, selecting, and developing interior
building materials, finishes, special effects, and furnishings
for an integrated visual design theme (architectural and
interior design). CID requirements, therefore, include
structural interior design items and graphics. Furnishings
include furniture, artwork, interior plants, trash receptacles,
water fountains, chalk and tack boards, signs, entry
directories, window coverings and other similar items.
