contractor's sprinkler system designer on the contract documents.
Note that the hose stream and remote areas for various hazard
classifications are more stringent than NFPA 13 requirements.
Identify design densities for water flow and sprinkler types on a
room-by-room basis so hydraulic calculations may be performed.
Flow test data must be provided for the contractor to determine if
the cost of oversized piping will need to be included in the bid.
2.8.3 In addition to UFC 3-600-01: "Design: Fire Protection
Engineering For Facilities", other design criteria may be applicable.
ETL 1110-3-446 provides thrust block design guidance. For
aircraft hangar projects, ETL 1110-3-481 covers AFFF clean up
requirements, ETL 1110-3-484 covers fire protection for fixed wing
aircraft and ETL 1110-3-485 covers fire protection for helicopter
hangars.

Interior Design
2.9.1 The interior environment must respond to the needs of the
facility as well as the individuals who occupy it, and should be
functional, esthetically pleasing, and cost effective. In addition, the
interior environment should provide a humane setting to promote a
sense of belonging and well-being for the personnel. The following
Sections provide criteria that will be considered to meet these goals.
2.9.2 The interior environment will be developed in coordination
with the architectural design. All features of the building, including
moveable furnishings and equipment, will be coordinated as parts of
the overall design concept.
2.9.3 Through the planning process, the nature and configuration of
the space can be examined. The adjacency requirements between
the functional elements of an organization, adjacency priorities,
work flow and patterns of communication will be initial
considerations in the design process. Other factors will include
multiple use of space and flexibility for future uses and growth.
Overall, the primary goal of space planning is to convert functional
program requirements into a workable, esthetically pleasing
environment.
appearance alone; they will ultimately affect the acoustical, lighting,
insulating, fire rating and maintenance factors of an environment.
Any selection must satisfy esthetic and functional requirements
regarding durability, wearability and maintenance. To a great extent,
AR has predetermined the materials and finishes they desire. These
are listed with the individual rooms in Chapter 4. Where selection
options have been authorized, the above criteria will be considered.
