1. General Description

1.1. Design Criteria

• UFC 3-120-10 Change 2, Interior Design

• UFC 3-120-01, Sign Standards

1.2. Desired Image

The interior design is integrated as part of the building’s complete design, expressing the function and aesthetic needs of the Unit. Quality materials and furnishings, appropriate to the design, shall be used to provide a supportive environment that is durable and easily maintained.

1.3. Structural Interior Design (SID)

SID is being provided in accordance with UFC 3-120-10, Interior Design. See the Architectural and Interior Design Narrative Chapter in the Design Analysis for information.

1.4. Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FFE)

The furniture, fixtures and equipment for this facility include, but are not limited to, cafe tables and chairs, soft seating, entertainment style gaming tables, fitness equipment, dormitory furniture, window blinds, private office freestanding furniture, and other miscellaneous items to support facility functions. Careful attention has been taken to select furnishings which meet high quality standards, endure extreme use, are easily maintained, and provide ergonomic support for staff. Colors are selected to coordinate with the building’s interior color scheme.

The FF&E is funded separately from the construction of the building. The package will be presented to the Construction General Contractor as an option to the construction contract. If this option is not awarded, the Users will procure the FF&E package separately. The FF&E installation will be coordinated with the building completion and occupancy by the Corp of Engineers Contracting Representative and the awarded General Contractor.

2. Narrative of Interior Design & Furniture Objectives

The exterior design concept of the facility is based on the Air Force Standards for permanent party dormitory and the style takes inspiration from several building structures found on the base, namely hangers 777 and 781 which were designed by industrial architect Albert Khan in early 1900s. The building envelope is primary brick masonry with modern three-story glazed entrance reveling the public lobby of the building.

The interior design concept is based on providing sophisticated amenity spaces along with relaxing sleeping rooms designed with durable, and high-end finishes to promote high-quality user experience. The color scheme is in sophisticated blue, green and yellow hues mixed with warm wood designs to promote calmness that also leads to higher productivity.

The furniture selection is based on durability for commercial use in combination of selecting pieces for comfort, elegance, and luxury, allowing for the ultimate experience of home environment.

Lobby/ Activity Spaces and Theater These spaces will be furnished with multi-level café seating with tables, soft seating, occasional tables, game tables, TV’s and appliances including refrigerators, and microwaves.

Dorms Sleeping rooms will be furnished with modern style bedroom set including bed, mattress, nightstand, dresser, desk with chair, soft seating, occasional table, dining table with chairs, lighting (desk lamp, nightstand lamp), and small appliances including undercounter refrigerator with freezer, microwave, and two burner cooktop.

Private Office will be furnished with sit-to-stand table with side storage unit to create L-shaped workspace.

Laundry Laundry will be furnished with washers, dryers, and washer/ dryer stacks.
