CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION General

BIA School Facilities Design Handbook 1000-1 March 30, 2007

1000-1. Introduction

1.1. To ensure that Native American children are afforded a modern educational environment that is in keeping with national standards, safe, functional, flexible for changing needs, and culturally adaptive, the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Office of Facilities Management and Construction (OFMC) has developed the BIA School Facilities Design Handbook. In this handbook, standardized procedures for design, drawings, specifications, design analysis, cost estimates, and related support tasks for new BIA school facilities are provided.

1.2. As a companion to the BIA School Facilities Design Handbook, OFMC has also created the BIA School Facilities Space Templates. This volume contains the diagrammatic information necessary to develop the functional floor plans of BIA educational facilities using approved components, and provides specific programmatic criteria for each space.

1000-2. Program Goals

2.1. The BIA’s primary goals for the handbook and space templates include the following:

• Design of facilities that reflect the importance of cultural expression

• Equality of educational environment among BIA schools throughout the United States

• Sustainable design, through incorporation of the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED program, with the requirement of LEED Silver certification for all projects

• Standardization of individual spaces and their programmatic requirements without dictating building aesthetics

1000-3. Program Overview

3.1. The BIA is responsible for providing facilities to support educational programs for eligible Indian School Equalization Program (ISEP) students. Its central, stated goal is to provide a high-quality educational environment for Native American children from kindergarten through high school.

3.2. In order to meet this goal in a cost-efficient manner, and to ensure equality among all its new educational facilities, the BIA seeks to standardize the design and construction of its schools while still allowing for individual needs and cultural expression. Following are the specific standardization goals of the BIA, and the ways they have been addressed in this handbook and the space templates:

3.2.1. The Design Process. To ensure a consistent design process from project to project, the procedures to be followed by the design team during the design phase of BIA school facilities are carefully spelled out. These guidelines include project submittal requirements, required drawing information, and the required format for specifications.

General CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION

1000-2 BIA School Facilities Design Handbook March 30, 2007

3.2.2. Programmatic Areas. Standardized layouts of individual programmatic areas, seen in the space templates, are provided to control design costs and ensure consistency without unduly limiting the design team’s creativity in the overall layout and design of the school. Relationship diagrams are provided to indicate the overall organization of the school and of the areas within it.

3.2.3. Construction Methods and Building Systems. The design team can choose from a variety of construction methods and building systems, appropriate to different regions of the country, that have received prior BIA approval. Standardization of building systems and construction options controls costs and enables the BIA to optimize maintenance procedures and requirements and the training of facilities maintenance personnel.

CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION Using the BIA Handbook and Space Templates

BIA School Facilities Design Handbook 1010-1 March 30, 2007

1010-1. General

1.1. To make best use of the handbook and space templates, all team members should first review both volumes and be sure they understand not only the general information and the sections related to their particular design discipline, but also how the disciplines interrelate. To ensure a successful project, and to achieve the LEED goals required by the BIA and specified in this handbook, the various Designers of Record must coordinate their efforts and develop project strategies as a team.

1010-2. Scope and Applicability of the Design Handbook and Space Templates

2.1. The School Facilities Design Handbook and the School Facilities Space

Templates are to be used in the design of all new educational facilities funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, to include projects with tribes and tribal organizations.

1010-3. Codes, Standards, and Laws

3.1. The codes, standards, and laws identified in this handbook must be followed as they apply to individual projects. Alternative codes and standards may not be substituted without special approval from the OFMC. Such approval must be requested and received in writing.

1010-4. Conflicts, Questions, and Appeals

4.1. Where conflicts or questions arise pertaining to information presented in this handbook or in the space templates, the Designer of Record is to notify the BIA Contracting Officer in writing. The BIA Contracting Officer will review questions and forward decisions to the Designer of Record.

1010-5. Design Process

5.1. This handbook provides a general process for building and site design. The companion volume provides templates for building organization based on different grade level school models and dormitory models. These spatial relationship diagrams are meant to illustrate some ways that schools and dormitories can be organized but are by no means all-inclusive.

5.2. In general, design teams are required to adhere to the layouts shown in the space templates. Alternative room arrangements may be used where necessary because of building geometry; however, such deviations should be limited.

1010-6. Building and Site Systems Selection Process

6.1. In many cases, several building systems are provided from which the design team can select. In choosing building systems, design teams must analyze the systems relative to the specific parameters of the project, including location, availability of materials, costs, etc. If options are not provided, the design team shall utilize the system described. Should building systems be required that are not discussed in this handbook, the design team should coordinate with the BIA concerning recommendations and selections.

CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION School Facility Design Philosophy

BIA School Facilities Design Handbook 1020-1 March 30, 2007

1020-1. School Facility Design Philosophy

1.1. Because the needs of each school population may be different, and different schools may have different educational philosophies, these guidelines for future BIA schools allow for flexibility within a framework. This handbook establishes layouts and systems that can be used as needed to ensure a high-level educational, living, and working environment.

1.2. The arrangement of the spaces, based on both philosophy and cultural expression, is left up to the design team.

1.3. To meet the stated goal of the BIA to provide high-quality educational and living environments in its schools, the design handbook and space templates specify quality building materials, building systems, and physical environments.

The focus on LEED goals and sustainable design supports the overall goal of building and operating high-performance buildings.

CHAPTER 1: GENERAL INFORMATION Cultural Design Philosophy

BIA School Facilities Design Handbook 1030-1 March 30, 2007

1030-1. Cultural Design Philosophy

1.1. The BIA considers it vital to integrate cultural expression into their school facilities. The following are examples of ways that may be done:

1.1.1. Architectural Design

• Develop a cultural focal point for the community. In the school this may include a cultural classroom, media center, cafeteria, or other gathering area. In the dormitories, this may include the living room, study rooms, activity room, etc.

• Arrange the facility on the site in a way that is respectful of tribal values. This may include arranging buildings according to the four compass positions and with regard to existing site features and the surrounding landscape.

• Select exterior and interior building materials with awareness of the colors and patterns that reflect tribal values, traditions, storytelling, or traditional arts and crafts.

• Use natural daylighting strategies to ensure a strong connection between earth and sky.

• Include areas for the display of artwork throughout the facility.

• Arrange classrooms to allow for many ways of teaching children, including traditional tribal teaching methods.

• Incorporate sustainable design strategies that acknowledge the value indigenous peoples place on their environment.

1.1.2. Landscape Design

• Provide for outdoor learning environments.

• Incorporate traditional outdoor spaces.

• Incorporate sustainable landscape design strategies that are in harmony with the existing natural environment.

1.1.3. Civil Design

• Integrate the site and building design with existing topography and landforms.

• Leave existing land undisturbed as much as possible and place construction on previously disturbed land.

1.1.4. Structural Design

• Follow sustainable design principles.

Cultural Design Philosophy CHAPTER 1: GENERAL

1030-2 BIA School Facilities Design Handbook March 30, 2007

1.1.5. Mechanical Design

• Follow sustainable design principles.

1.1.6. Electrical Design

• Reduce dependence on artificial illumination by incorporating natural daylighting throughout.

• Follow sustainable design principles.

The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) develops educational space criteria and the Program of Requirements (POR) for each BIA school facility.

1.2. To ensure a quality educational environment for all students, the BIE seeks to create a standard method of evaluating space planning for all BIA schools.

Their overall goal is to incorporate core instructional requirements with functional space needs, and to develop space standards for those needs that use existing national and state guidance.

1.3. The spaces identified in the Educational Space Criteria Handbook have been developed in the BIA School Facilities Space Templates and illustrate their spatial layout and programmatic needs in terms of architectural, interior design, structural, HVAC, electrical, communications, fire protection, and signage

CHAPTER 2: PRESENTATION OF DATA General

BIA School Facilities Design Handbook 2000-1 March 30, 2007

2000-1. Introduction

1.1. The BIA School Facilities Design Handbook establishes guidelines for design services and product deliverables. Following these guidelines will result in nationally uniform and predictable drawings sets, specifications, design materials, and services. Such consistency will greatly aid the review, approval, and coordination processes.

1.2. Unless specifically noted in the Statement of Work, all Designers of Record and consultants are to use these guidelines in the preparation of all project documents—drawings, specifications, or any other submittal data.

1.3. Any document prepared for submittal to the BIA must be clear, concise, and legible. All information must be clearly titled and dated. Packages must be properly numbered or indexed to allow for easy content navigation.

CHAPTER 2: PRESENTATION OF DATA Consultant Submittal Requirements

BIA School Facilities Design Handbook 2010-1 March 30, 2007

2010-1. General

1.1. This section outlines the submittal requirements at each design stage and the responsibilities of the Designer of Record during each phase. Submittals are required at 20 percent completion (schematic design), 40 percent completion (design development), 70 percent completion (preliminary construction documents), 99 percent completion (completed construction documents), and 100 percent completion (final construction documents). Drawings in every submittal shall be as discussed in Section 2040, with the exception of design presentation boards. Specifications formatting is discussed in further detail in Section 2050.

1.2. Written Comments. After each review, the Designer of Record will be furnished written comments to be annotated and returned to the BIA. Comments shall be annotated as A=Concur, D=Do Not Concur, or E=Exception.

1.2.1. Comments annotated with D or E shall be explained to justify noncompliance with the comment. Comments annotated with A may also be annotated with additional comments. These annotations will, in addition to explanations previously required, include a brief annotation for all comments concurred with as to what action was taken and where.

1.2.2. The Designer of Record shall furnish all annotated comments to the BIA no later than 14 calendar days after receipt of all comments associated with the particular submittal.

1.2.3. After each submittal, the Designer of Record shall make any corrections necessary. The Designer of Record shall not proceed or initiate any work on any successive design level prior to receipt of approval of the preceding design level.

2010-2. 20 Percent Completion – Schematic Design Submittal

2.1. General. The 20 percent completion schematic design submittal will comprise the documents necessary to illustrate the general scope, scale, arrangement, and relationships of project components. At this stage, the design will be conceptual.
