MIL-HDBK-1027/4A
Furniture items must be researched and specified in accordance with
the Federal Acquisitions Regulations (FAR) Part 8 Required Sources of Supply.
Each furniture piece specified must be the lowest priced item which meets the
minimum functional and aesthetic needs of the facility which they will
support. The functional aspect of each furniture piece must consider, as a
minimum, function, ergonomics, appropriateness, and maintainability.
Aesthetics must consider, as a minimum, scale, style, finishes and fabrics
where applicable. All furniture items must be a level of quality which is
comparable to the finishes specified for the facility itself.
4.3.1
Collateral Equipment List. The collateral equipment list is an
essential programming and budgeting document. Preliminary collateral
equipment lists are a means to establish a budget for funding purposes and
are not intended to be used as a "buy" list. Consult the Project Interior
Designer at the EFD to assist in developing functional requirements as part
of the interior design process. Integrate these functional requirements with
the building design and space planning effort, which is reflected in the
Furniture/Equipment Footprint. Maintain a continuing update of the
Collateral Equipment List with the using activity, to ensure all budget
estimates are current and are adequately accommodated in the design. Include
fire extinguishers and consider shredders or incinerators where classified
material is used.
4.3.2
Furniture/Equipment Footprint. The Furniture/Equipment Footprint
should use standard or "generic" furniture sizes to demonstrate the adequacy
of each space area and the Collateral Equipment List, and to communicate to
other engineering disciplines the utilities and services required for each
space.
It also demonstrates that life safety exit patterns are accommodated
with the furniture and equipment in place. Provide a Furniture/Equipment
Footprint for the PE phase or prior to 35%.
Lockers in the corridor or elsewhere in the facility are at the
discretion of the user. Consider locker groupings for personal belongings
and foul weather gear near the main entry or student lounge.
4.3.3
Training Aids
4.3.3.1
Special Training Device Requirements. Maintain a continuing update
of the proposed equipment with the user, to ensure all items are current and
are adequately accommodated in the design.
4.3.3.2
Audiovisual Requirements
a) Rear Screen Projection. Where rear screen projection is
essential, provide at least 6 feet clear space width behind the screen, which
can accommodate the projection path and serve as media storage and instructor
work space.
b) Presentation Hardware and Projection Systems. Personal
computer (PC) based digitizing graphics hardware and projectors are current
state-of-the-art media for visual aids in the classroom. Portable table top
or shelf mounted console projectors are replacing ceiling mounted projectors
because of mobility and dependability. Floor outlets for media cables and
power should be considered along with control outlets near the lecture area.
