Religious Facilities Design Guide  

This manual provides the basic guidelines for organizing, evaluating, planning, programming, designing, and constructing religious facilities on Air Force installations. These facilities include religious worship spaces, religious educational spaces, and associated administration spaces and collectively express the reverence, peace, and sacred atmosphere of religious worship. Because of their multi-faith use, these facilities must be religiously neutral in design, as well as flexible in their programming. Liturgical furnishings specific to individual faith groups must therefore be moveable and architectural form, images and permanent ornamentation acceptable to all users.
