a) Reverberation control. For most pool enclosures, the mid-
frequency reverberation time should be less than or equal to 1.8 seconds.
b) Selection of Acoustical Materials. Account for the effects of
humidity. Wall materials such as sound absorbing masonry units, perforated
structural clay tiles, and moisture-resistant fiber panels and ceiling
materials such as perforated metal roof deck with fiberglass filled
corrugations and moisture-resistant, cement-fiber units are appropriate.
Avoid suspended or applied acoustical tile ceilings which can
introduce problems due to condensation and corrosion.
5.2.3
Landscape Architecture. The framework for planning and design of
all landscape architectural elements is found in the activity Master Plan and
more specifically in the Base Exterior Architecture Plan (BEAP). General
guidance for all design elements can be found in NAVFAC P-960. Landscape
design must enhance positive image for the facility and should direct
pedestrians to a primary entry. Design for minimal maintenance. Provide
landscape fabric for weed prevention. Select hardy specimen species
indigenous to the area. Locate hose bibbs convenient for additional
irrigation.
5.2.4
Civil. Distribution piping (utilities, refrigerant, condenser
water, etc.) should enter the building only through mechanical spaces.
5.2.4.1
Roads, Parking, and Walkways. These are three of the most land
consuming uses on a site. Negative visual impact can be minimized by
locating facilities conveniently to each other, encouraging pedestrian use
and other non-vehicular modes of access.
Vehicular or pedestrian paving should be in character with a safe,
functional and visually pleasing landscape. The sharing of parking and road
requirements will minimize total impact. Small parking lots are usually
preferable to large lots, since they allow for conforming to the natural
topography and other site features and are visually less obtrusive. Provide
appropriate paved area with load capacity and adequate maneuvering space for
occasional fire truck access and parking area where facilities are used to
train local activity fire department personnel. Provide ramps at curbs along
routes leading to storerooms to facilitate wheeled access. Accommodate
training device transportation into and out of the building through adequate
turning radii and appropriate loading facilities. Provide vehicle protective
barriers for light standards and fire apparatus. Designate special parking
spaces for emergency medical service vehicles, pilot trainees and device
contractor as required by the user.
Pedestrian access to training facilities is normally restricted to
a single entrance point, due to security criteria. Determine if egress is
permissible through secondary exterior doors and, if so, accommodate with
walkways. OPNAVINST 5530.14B prohibits parking of privately owned vehicles
within 15 feet of any building. Include concrete surface spaces for bicycle
racks and motorcycles. Storm drainage and other grates must be oriented with
parallel slots perpendicular to the paths of bicycles.
