Overview

Building Design

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) maintain a strong tradition of public building design that reflects the highly respected stature of the U.S. Government. All USCIS facilities should embrace and illustrate this principle and present a building or office environment that exhibits fiscal prudence and efficiency of the public’s money, as well as, contribute to the vitality of the surrounding area.

USCIS space shall be located in an office, research, technology, or business park that is modern in design with a campus-like atmosphere; and be in a modern office building that is professional and prestigious in appearance with the surrounding development well maintained and in consonance with a professional image. The space shall be within an appropriately zoned district, i.e. Central Business District, Business Park, Commercial, or Office. Buildings located within any type of Manufacturing, Industrial, Warehouse, Retail or similar zones will not be accepted.

Space shall be BOMA Class “A” or Class “B” Office space with no exceptions (See General Notes for definitions). USCIS space shall be located within a ½ walkable mile to public transportation with one or more bus stops or combination of bus and train stops. Adequate eating facilities shall be located within the immediate vicinity. Other services such as retail shops, cleaners, banks, etc. shall also be located within the immediate vicinity.

USCIS prefers single floor occupancy. If it is determined that USCIS space can be located on more than one story, the public entry, security, information, records, and ceremony rooms should remain on the same floor serving most public functions. The remaining USCIS required space will be planned accordingly to include proper and separate access (including elevators) for the public and for employees.

The separation of the Public and Employee space will be an important aspect of this facility. All visitors shall enter through a single, well-defined, secure entrance. The entrance sequence will include a public entry that provides for protection from the weather while waiting for the security screening. USCIS employs an online appointment scheduling system, so visitors will come in a consistent stream throughout the day. The busiest time will be first thing in the morning when the first round of customers arrive at the same time requiring the process to accommodate approximately 150 people. The employees will enter through a separate entrance

Branding

Branding is incorporated throughout USCIS spaces and includes Lady Liberty, interior signage, and exterior signage. Branding is further emphasized through the use of color palettes.

Version 3.0 - January 2020 Page 4 of 21

Lady Liberty

This image should be provided on the exterior perimeter of the building near the public entry or within the public lobby space. Sizing, color, and material application will be determined during the design.

Exterior Signage

Signage must be provided on the exterior of the building or in the entrance area to the USCIS space. Additionally, USCIS may include a freestanding monument sign. The proposed sign location should be located on the site plan or building elevation plans. Based on the Offeror’s location, additional exterior directional signage may be required for campus or professional park environments. (Dimension’s utilized in the following layout are for scaling purposes only.

Interior Signage

USCIS provides and maintains agency specific interior signage requirements. The Government will provide signage specifications to the Offeror to provide and maintain signage consistency throughout USCIS spaces.

Color Palettes

USCIS color palettes will be incorporated into the space. The Offeror’s architect will work with the USCIS PM to establish the color palette during design.

Building Hours of Operation

The entire building is considered operational from 6:00am to 5:30pm, five days per week (except for Federal Holidays. All USCIS space must be capable of having HVAC services on Saturdays. The Computer LAN Room and any wire/telephone closets will require 24/7 HVAC services. USCIS recognizes that utility costs outside of normal operations hours will be paid for as overtime utilities through Government reimbursable work authorization funding.

Test-Fit Layout

A test fit layout with the necessary office suite area adjacencies must be provided to demonstrate the Offeror’s intent to meet the USCIS requirements. This test fit should follow the design criteria to meet adjacencies and room requirements. When designing office square footage requirements less than 20,000 square feet a single floor design will be required. If the office square footages range from 20,000 to 40,000 square feet a contiguous two-floor design can be considered. If the office is more than 40,000 square feet, a contiguous three-floor design can be considered. When a multi-floor occupancy is being offered, vertical circulation will be required for employees.

Field Office Director’s Area

The Field Office Director (FOD) is the individual who is responsible for overseeing the operations of the USCIS Field Office location. This office should occupy a prominent area within the facility. The FOD Suite will consist of private offices planned with open office workstations including a waiting area, conference room (typically adjacent to the FOD office), copy area, storage, and circulation space.

Immigration Services

The Immigration Services Division is responsible for interviewing, testing and granting individual’s citizenship in the United States of America as well as making adjustments to an immigrant’s current status. They are also responsible for providing information and forms to persons seeking legal immigration. The design of this area should reflect the importance of the process and provide a space that is comfortable for both the customer and employee.

The preferred design solution would have all office areas co-located on a single floor with the waiting room. The file room and open office space where clerical and administrative functions are performed should be adjacent or central to this Division’s offices. Public and employee circulation areas must be separate.

Interview Rooms will separate USCIS public and secure spaces. These rooms should be welcoming and open while maintaining the security and privacy to both customers and USCIS employees.
