  The UNILAC-upgrade program for FAIR will be realized in the next three years; the required U28+-beam intensity of 15 emA (for SIS 18 injection). The replacement of the Alvarez-DTL by a new high energy linac is advised to provide a stable operation for the next decades. An additional linac-upgrade option sufficient to boost the beam energy up to 150 MeV/u may help to reach the desired heavy ion intensities in the SIS 100. The SHIP-upgrade program has also to be realized until 2011, such that an enhanced primary beam intensity at the target is available. It is planned to build a new cw-heavy ion-linac behind the present high charge state injector. This linac should feed the GSI flagship experiments SHIP and TASCA, as well as material research, biophysics and plasma physics experiments in the MeV/u-area. The whole injector family is housed by the existing constructions. Different layout scenarios of a multipurpose high intensity heavy ion facility will be presented.
