DEO(W) Design Guide JRSLA Introduction Officers' and SNCOs' Messes Accommodation for officers and SNCOs, including living quarters and public rooms, is considered under the two DEO(W) Design & Maintenance Guides (DMG): DMG 05 SNCOs' Messes DMG 06 Officers' Messes Kitchen facilities for officers and SNCOs are also covered by the Catering Design Guide and Equipment Specification. A list of other design guidance documentation considered particularly relevant to JRSLA buildings is included within the Bibliography. STRUCTURE AND USE OF GUIDE This guide is structured to provide a layering of design information, from general planning, through to detailed specification of individual rooms. The Sections within the guide address the subject of JRSLA design in increasing degrees of detail as follows: Section 1 Introduction and background to the building type Section 2 General design requirements applicable to JRSLA Section 3 Specific design requirements for each room Section 4 Design information for building services Section 5 Associated guidance on related topics Technical Annexes Supporting information - technical and detailed design Terminology The 3 services, and in particular the Royal Navy, use different terminology to describe the same room function or facility. For example in the Royal Navy toilets are referred to as heads, kitchens as galleys and bedrooms as cabins, whether on board ship or not. The Royal Navy also translate JRSLA to mean Junior Rates Single Living Accommodation, rather than Junior Ranks as used by the other services. As this is a Tri-Service Design Guide, terminology peculiar to one service has not generally been used. However, designers working on individual JRSLA projects will need to familiarise themselves with and use the traditional terminology associated with that Service user. Drawings Example building and room layouts have been included within the guide to demonstrate possible solutions to meet the design criteria. These should be taken as examples only and not regarded as standard design solutions.
DEO(W) Design Guide JRSLA Figure 1.1 Crowded communalablutions areas within traditional Barrack blocks. 1. Background 1 . 1 HISTORY AND ROLE OF JRSLA The Members of the modern armed forces are highly professional volunteers. They have joined the Royal Navy, Army, or Royal Air Force as a positive career choice and their expectations of the quality of their surroundings and living accommodation are higher than those of the conscripted serviceman of former times. Historically, JRSLA was provided as barrack accommodation, with multiple occupancy dormitories and large shared WC and ablutions areas. There was little consideration of privacy or personalisation of living space. Without a sense of personal ownership or responsibility towards the living accommodation, communal areas were often mal-treated and poorly maintained. Furthermore, the allocation of space within the sleeping quarters did not allow introduction of any personal belongings to supplement the basic MOD furniture provision, and lack of security made individuals reluctant to upgrade their living space. The modern serviceman / woman's way of life has changed over the years. Individuals have a higher expectation of the quality of their living space. They also have a greater quantity of belongings, particularly electrical equipment such as stereos and TVs etc., which are now an accepted norm of the comforts of home. There is a demand for more personal space, with a greater degree of privacy and security. Research into the design of JRSLA led to the development of the Modular Suite concept of flat design in the 1980s. This is now widely adopted as the preferred design approach for new build projects and refurbishment, where practical. The accommodation is grouped into 6-bed flats, providing a more personalised living space than multiple-occupancy dormitories.
