SANTA BARBARA, CA - February
26, 1999 - Military planners
needed defensible estimates
of M&R funding required for
three building types-research
hospital, community hospital,
and medical clinic-common to
domestic U.S.
military facilities.
The Whitestone MARS
system was used to provide detailed
funding benchmarks for the three building
models, enabling planners to
better validate funding requests, to
distribute funds according to
specific local needs, and to develop
a long-term funding plan that
anticipates rather than reacts to oscillating
M&R requirements over time. Average
funding requirements were found
to range from $2.56 to $3.11
per gross square foot for the
three building types, located
in the Washington DC area. Deployment
of
MARS included over 60 sites nationwide.
