====== FEDERAL ALLOTMENT CENTERS OF NEW KOUROU ======

===== Overview =====

  * **Locations:**  
    * **FAC 1:** SE Public Services Ring Road 3  
    * **FAC 2:** SW Public Services Ring Road 3  
    * **FAC 3:** NW Public Services Ring Road 3  
    * **FAC 4:** NE Public Services Ring Road 4  
  * **Surroundings:** Integrated into the Public Services Ring of [[new_kourou|New Kourou]], serving the settlement’s districts in equal share  

The four Federal Allotment Centers (FACs) of New Kourou are managed by the [[federal_allotment_agency|Federal Allotment Agency]] and distribute essential goods to the settlement's citizens via [[allottment_cards|Allotment Cards]]. Each center can serve up to 4,000 residents. Together, they ensure equitable resource allocation for New Kourou’s population under the communal system of [[communardism|Communardism]]. Citizens are assigned weekly slots by [[gaia_system|GAIA]], preventing overcrowding and ensuring efficiency.

===== Architectural Significance =====

  * **Construction Materials:** Mycelium blocks, marking a shift to sustainable, eco-friendly building practices. Alongside the [[federal_council_building|Federal Council Building]], the four FACs are the only mycelium structures in the city, making them visual symbols of permanence and progress.  
  * **Roof Design:** Distinctive leaf-shaped roofs symbolize nourishment, shelter, and the ethos of Communardism.  
  * **Vertical Gardens:** Each facade incorporates productive gardens of fruits and vegetables, reinforcing ideals of sustainability and self-reliance.  
  * **Landmark Character:** In contrast to New Kourou’s patchwork salvage architecture, the FACs stand as architectural beacons of stability and an envisioned ExoHuman future.

===== Look and Feel =====

The four FACs project permanence and order: smooth mycelium walls with climbing greenery, leaf-shaped roofs catching daylight, and queues moving quietly under the watch of Deputies.
