CHAPTER 5
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
5-1
DESIGN GOALS. Overall architectural goals for the TEMF complex are to provide a
functional, visually appealing facility that is a source of pride for facility users, and the installation.
5-1.1
Site Planning Objectives. Provide a functional layout of buildings and site
elements. The site plan should place emphasis on creating a safe work environment. Arrange
vehicular circulation to minimize conflict with pedestrian circulation. Pavement marking and
signage shall be clearly delineate traffic patterns, even to first time visitors to the site. Integrate
sustainable design principles by retaining and using existing topography to advantage; preserve
environmentally sensitive areas and reduce overall project impact on the site.
5-1.2
Exterior Design Objectives. Design buildings to enhance the visual environment of
the installation. Exterior materials, roof forms, and detailing shall comply with the Installation
Design Guide, and shall be compatible with the immediate local context. Use durable, low-
maintenance materials. Configure building massing and use exterior elements such as entry
porches, and material detailing to provide human scale, especially at core areas.
5-1.3
Interior Design Objectives. Arrange spaces in an efficient, functional manner.
Provide simple circulation schemes that allow easy wayfinding within buildings. Use durable
materials and furnishings that can be easily maintained and replaced. Maximize use of
daylighting and operable windows. Use interior surfaces that are easy to clean and light in color;
avoid trendy or bright color schemes. Where feasible, arrange spaces to allow rearrangement
of furniture layout. Structure interior spaces to allow maximum flexibility for future modifications;
(such as a change in authorized personnel).
5-1.4
Material and Product Selection Criteria. Materials shall meet the requirements of
the SOW. The SOW includes a range of specificity: some material requirements are specific
(no option); other material requirements allow a range of options. The SOW requirements
establish a minimum quality level. Higher quality materials will be judged more favorably. The
offeror's proposal shall identify the quality level of all major materials to be provided.
5-2

RFP, design and construction of facilities shall comply with the latest editions (as of the date of
the RFP) of the following. Major criteria references for building design are listed below;
