SECTION 1:
FAMILY SERVICE CENTERS
1. SCOPE. Criteria and guidance contained herein are applicable to the
design of new Family Service Centers (FSC) as well as to the modification of
existing facilities which are to be converted to FSC operations. The document
is intended to be used by competent design professionals. As such it does not
contain generic design and planning criteria which represent standard
professional practice.
The document includes planning criteria specifying location, site development,
and functional zoning. Architectural requirements include both general design
considerations and individual space requirements. The mechanical/electrical
text consists of criteria relevant to plumbing, heating and ventilation,
electrical system design, and energy conservation. Family Service Center
facility planning, architecture, and mechanical/electrical criteria are
described in facility plates. (See Facility Plate No. 740-25, Sheets 1-10.)
These facility plates illustrate general layout provisions, example functional
layouts, schematic designs, and zone plans.
