IHS AE Guide Description of the Facility User Manual
3.6 Facility User Manual
(1) Prior to project completion, the A/E shall prepare a user manual that will explain how the new health facility is intended to be operated. The manual shall address the use or functional organization of the health facility and explain how to use the health facility in plain language. Major considerations in planning, layout, and design are highlighted. Significant design features, cultural aspects, major pieces of equipment, and potentials for flexibility and expansion are to be made clear.
(2) The manual is intended for all staff members working within the health facility. Since the informational needs will vary among staff, the manual will provide information on the functions and systems at different levels of detail. The manual also needs to be flexible for both its day-to-day use and for the addition of updated material as it is developed.
(3) The manual shall include, but not be limited to the following topics: introduction/executive summary;
an overview of the facility design and operational concept; building circulation/individual department review; HVAC systems; plumbing systems; electrical systems; fire protection systems; security systems;
communication systems; site design; energy conservation; code conformance/waivers; signage/ way finding; and any supplemental information.
The facility user manual is not intended to be an excerpt of the operations and maintenance manual. For building systems, it should present the intended strategy of operations that guides specific equipment sequences. The facility user manual is intended to capture the architectural story of the new facility along with the conceptual operational function of the primary mechanical and operational systems. It will be used in new employee orientation, marketing of service and recruitment of new medical staff to ensure the ideas, themes and cultural references which inspired the design during the project’s planning and conceptual development are retained. The intent of documenting the operational systems of the building is to provide a clear review of the mechanical, electrical and other installed systems that impact users and staff. The facility user manual is not a maintenance manual or operational guide. It should highlight the design intent of the broad systems that are installed along with their function. Primary focus should be on systems that impact users with regard to response, emergency power operation and other primary utility outages, infection control ventilation, building pressure.
PUEBLO PINTADO HEALTH CENTER
Facility Design
The architectural design of the Pueblo Pintado Health Center is a response to the issues and concerns raised by the Navajo Nation Steering committee, the IHS Project Leadership Team, and the IHS Design
Group with the Crownpoint Service Unit. Both groups envisioned a place of community connection and holistic healing. Rising with striking distinction from the silty soils of Pueblo Pintado, the building design comprises imagery inspired by the Visual Preference Survey and follows a directive issued from the members to experience a destination "unlike any other seen in the Navajo Nation." From Rural Route 9, patients and visitors proceed through a generous landscape, convenient parking, and a patient drop-off area adjacent to the prominent entry. Visitors with limited mobility are accommodated through dedicated entry points adjacent to parking and by a pharmacy drive-thru lane for prescription pick-up. Service deliveries, fuel storage, and mobile medical unit areas have been designated just south of the lower level.
Upon entry from the east vestibule, the interior serves as an extension of the exterior by use of daylighting, natural material selections, and design elements inspired by cultural practices of the Navajo nation. Accent colors influenced by traditional Navajo clothing, beadwork, and jewelry appear throughout the center for wayfinding continuity.

PUEBLO PINTADO HEALTH CENTER
Operational Concept
The Navajo Area Indian Health Service, in partnership with the Navajo Nation, conducted a comprehensive strategic planning process to define a regional and integrated health care system network. The plan was developed from a population-based planning approach that clearly delineates the services and resources necessary to meet the health care needs of the Navajo Nation tribal members in the Pueblo Pintado Service Area.
The Pueblo Pintado Health Center complex consists of approximately 125,000 square feet of facility, not including staff residences. It is a modern, technologically advanced facility with enough space and staff to provide an expanded level of health care services specifically designed to meet the health care needs of the community in the Crownpoint Service Unit. In addition, to the Indian Health Service programs, several tribally operated health programs have been incorporated into the new facility. This improves access to medical care as well as improve the collaboration and partnership between the Navajo Nation and the
Indian Health Service. The new facility will provide an expanded outpatient department, community health department, and a full array of ancillary and support services.

Site Design
All site roadways, parking areas, service areas, etc. will be paved with hard surface pavement and curb and gutter. Pavement material is planned to be concrete, for durability. Additionally, BIA Road N7134 that runs along the east side of the property, which is currently a dirt road, has been planned to be paved as far south as the new water tower that will be constructed with the project. A new water tower serving the health center and proposed staff housing will be located at the west end of the site (furthest from the main road).
Parking areas will be designed for light duty passenger vehicle traffic, with service areas, primary drives, and other heavier vehicle areas being designed for a more heavy-duty load. Concrete paving thicknesses will be per geotechnical report recommendations. Sidewalks will be 4” concrete pavement.
All site stormwater drainage from the building and parking/roadway areas will be collected in storm inlets and conveyed through storm sewers to detention basin(s) that will be constructed with the facility. Site security at the clinic facility will be a combination of limited security fencing, livestock fencing, and after-hours security gates at all drives.
All accessible parking spaces and accessible routes to/from the building, along with all exterior gathering areas, will be designed in accordance with ABA requirements for number and slopes of spaces, slopes along walking paths, door landings, etc. Where site ramps (slope > 5%) may be required, they will be provided with handrails and landings at every 30” of rise. Appropriate accessible parking signs will be installed where those spaces are provided.
Site landscaping will be accomplished using species that are native and appropriate for the arid climate.
No permanent irrigation system will be installed with the only watering to occur during the establishment period.
PUEBLO PINTADO HEALTH CENTER
Sustainability
Designed to meet LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council and the GSA’s Guiding
Principles (as implemented by IHS), the Pueblo Pintado Health Center will strive to achieve optimal energy performance, protection, conservation of water, and reduce the environmental impact of materials and building systems. The following events and activities contributed to planning and design efforts:
April 2005 Initial Phase 1 Site evaluation. Eight potential sites for the Pueblo Pintado medical facility within the Navajo Nation Reservation were evaluated in terms of area requirements, accessibility, adequacy of support space, and potential flood problems. Site H was eventually chosen as the project site, which would include a modern healthcare facility and staff quarters comprised of 82 homes.
Around this same time, the Steering Committee representing chapters served by the proposed health center began to meet regularly.
February 2020 Phase 2 Site Selection & Evaluation Report. A site was selected with proposed area (acreage) to provide for the health center, housing, site circulation, and infrastructure.
April 2021 The design team received their Notice to Proceed and subsequently initiated design discussions and charted a project schedule for this new 122,000 SF facility.
