individuals. Design the entry approach to be visible by center staff who are inside.
Position the reception area adjacent to the entry and director's office.
2-17.2
Diapering Areas. Locate diapering area(s) so they are visible to other
adults.
2-17.3
Interior Doors. All interior doors, except for those at school-age and
adult toilet rooms, will have a vision panel. See paragraph 7-1 for more information on
doors and vision panel requirements. Ensure that no fire ratings in these doors or walls
are compromised. Do not use Dutch doors to accomplish this requirement.
2-17.4
Corridors. Provide vision panels between corridors and activity rooms.
2-17.5
Children. The design must ensure that a child will be unable to leave the
center without the knowledge of the staff. For instance, the designer must be sensitive
to placement of operable windows in the vicinity of a public sidewalk, or the ability of
children to open egress doors.
2-17.6
Alarm. Provide an alarm buzzer on exterior doors, other than the main
entrance and the kitchen exterior entrance, that do not open to a fenced area, to alert
staff of unauthorized entry or exit.
2-17.7
Hardware for Playgrounds. Provide hardware that prevents
unauthorized access to the playgrounds, but allows safe emergency egress.
2-17.8
View of Playgrounds. Organize outside activity areas to permit views
into the playground from within the CDC and from outside the playground fencing.
Exterior doors will include glazing. Configure each play area to allow one person to see
the entire area from any one point within that area. Exterior windows should remain
uncovered except in areas of extremely intense sunlight where sunshading devices may
be used.
2-17.9
CCTV Systems. CCTV systems are considered an important supplement
to direct visual access. More information can be found on CCTV systems in paragraph
7-2.
The Navy requires only that the conduit and cabling for the CCTV system be
provided. The Air Force and Marine Corps require fully operational CCTV systems be
provided and funded from construction funds rather than equipment funds.
2-18
SUSTAINABLE DESIGN. Use an integrated approach to the planning
and design of CDCs that minimizes energy consumption and optimizes life cycle cost
renewable energy possibilities. Use a practical combination of site selection and siting,
energy conserving building envelope technologies, energy efficient lighting, occupant
efficiency HVAC systems to achieve this goal. Incorporate renewable energy principles
such as day-lighting, passive and active solar heating, natural ventilation, and photo-
voltaics where they are life cycle cost effective.
