Executive Summary
Existing Conditions The proposed Laboratory addition will be an expansion of building 909A at the south east quadrant of the facility. Building 909 is 50 years old and meets NRHP requirements for Criterion A. It was one of the first Air Defense Command Centers built for early Cold War air defense.
Building 909 consists of two main structures, building 909 built in 1950 (~ 9412 sf.)
and 909A built in 1966 (~ 8323 sf.). Two additions were added to building 909A, one in 1967 (~ 1608 sf.) and one in 1970 (~ 1213 sf.).
The proposed addition of 6480 SF does not require any additional parking.
Since most of the expansion is focused on an external addition to Building 909A, a detailed analysis of the existing conditions in Building 909A was not done.
The current facility does not have an operable overhead crane, or the ability to easily add one. This constrains the users ability to move large pieces of equipment to the use of forklifts, which cannot always reach and place equipment where desired.
The proposed modification would allow consolidation of research presently conducted in rented space at Sandia National Laboratory, and ease the present crowding in the 322 hi-bay.
Current authorized personnel in the facility are at 6. The lab area could see an increase in personnel of 100% (12-15 people total) in the next 2-3 years.
New Addition Concepts Two concepts were proposed for the addition to building 909. Both were single story structures varying mainly in building height. Both concepts utilize a building foot print of 72’X100’. The first concept, Option A, proposes an approximately 7200 square foot addition bounded on the north by the 1967 addition and bounded on the west by the 1966 building 909A with a structure height of approximately 30 feet. The second concept, Option B, proposes an approximately 7200 square foot addition bounded on the north by the 1967 addition and bounded on the west by the 1966 building 909A with a structure height of approximately 40 feet.
Based on the 50% review it was decided to pursue with option B. It was also decided that the use of a prefab metal building did not fit with the Architectural Compatibility Plan (ACP). Option B was also modified to decrease in size to approximately 6,480 square feet with an overall building size of 72’X90’. Due to the existing tension only bracing, current code requirements for additions and UFC criteria for upgrading or retrofitting existing buildings it is our recommendation that the new addition be structurally separated from building 909.
The final concept for the exterior building material is integrally colored, split face CMU blocks to meet the ACP guidelines.
The building will also have a 10 ton bridge crane that spans the 70foot dimension of the building and traverses the 90 foot long dimension. There will be a 2 foot deep containment trench around the interior of the building capable of holding 15,000 gallons and an additional Anechoic Chamber pit approximately 30’X30’X6 feet deep.

Site/Civil Observation
Site/Civil Observations:
Existing Site The proposed Laboratory addition will be an expansion of building 909A at the south east quadrant of the facility. Major roads abutting the site are Aberdeen Drive on the north, Truman Avenue on the west and San Mateo Blvd on the east.
Building 909 and 909A are fenced-in facilities. Access for pedestrian and vehicular service entry is from the south of the facility.
Drainage The existing topography could be described, flat to gentle sloping and the landscaping as sparse.
The land generally slopes to the south into drainage features and eventually into storm water ponds.
Site drainage appeared to have been handled almost exclusively by grading to utilize natural topography for surface runoff towards lower unpaved areas.
Building roof collected storm water is almost exclusively handled via a sheet metal gutter and downspout system which outlets at the base of the buildings with a drain boot. Many downspout outlet locations in unpaved areas do not have splash blocks which leads to surface erosion and possible moisture problems in the building exterior wall due to ground saturation and surface splash-back. Some other locations have splash blocks with sediment accumulation which decreases the splash block effectiveness.
Parking The majority of parking in the study area appeared to be asphalt-gravel mix on a compacted sub-base and was in overall good condition. The surface is relatively flat.
Current staff and visitor vehicle parking is primarily concentrated on the west side of
Building 909. Overall there are approximately 87 staff parking spaces and is adequate given the occupied square footage for Building 909 and 909A at a ratio for general business B1 occupancy, parking of 1 space per each 300 SF. The proposed addition of 6480 SF does not require any additional parking.
Parking pavement striping and signage was somewhat lacking in areas and it appeared that in some cases even more parking spaces and vehicular space efficiency could be achieved with a full traffic parking study and revised striping and signage if additional parking spaces are required in the future.
ADA parking is sufficient with five handicap parking spaces.
Additionally there are 7 two wheeler parking.
Utilities Electrical Transformer is located on the east side of Building 909A.
Natural gas is available on the South and North side of Building 909A.
Water connection is from the North side.

Existing Facility Observation
Architecture/Interior Observations:
The existing Laboratory, offices and support functions occupy approximately 20,000
SF.
Since most of the expansion is focused on an external addition to Building 909A, a detailed analysis of the existing conditions in Building 909A was not done.
Building 909 consists of two main structures, building 909 built in 1950 (~ 9412 sf.)
and 909A built in 1966 (~ 8323 sf.). Two additions were added to building 909A, one in 1967 (~ 1608 sf.) and one in 1970 (~ 1213 sf.). All of the structures are connected with no apparent separation joints. The original 909 building is a two story cast in place (CIP) concrete structure with CMU shear walls. The balance of the 909 buildings is high-bay single story structures. Gravity framing consists of steel columns supporting steel beams and open web steel joists. Lateral resistance is provided by tension only (rod) “X” bracing. Roof diaphragm is bare metal deck with rigid insulation.
Existing facility deficiencies
The current facility does not have an operable overhead crane, or the ability to easily add one. This constrains the users ability to move large pieces of equipment to the use of forklifts, which cannot always reach and place equipment where desired.
The proposed modification would allow consolidation of research presently conducted in rented space at Sandia National Laboratory, and ease the present crowding in the 322 hi-bay.

Historical Significance
Building 909 is 50 years old and meets NRHP requirements for Criterion A. It was one of the first Air Defense Command Centers built for early Cold War air defense.
The original building, now the western portion, served as the headquarters for the 34th Air Division (Defense) which directed air defense radar alert and interception for New Mexico, Arizona, most of Colorado and Utah, and west Texas. This was part of a national Cold War effort by the USAF to protect American skies from invasion. As such, it is recommended as eligible to the National Register. Therefore when this task is ready for design documents we have to submit plans (elevations) and why it is necessary to do this addition to the SHPO for the addition.
Personnel/Occupancy load
Current authorized personnel in the facility are at 6. The lab area could see an increase in personnel of 100% (12-15 people total) in the next 2-3 years.
This laboratory houses government researchers and laboratory technician support personnel. No office or administrative functions are performed in this area.
Mission
Developing high power microwave devices, and the supporting technology of repetitive pulsed power which requires the use of large amount of electrical power, insulating materials (including oil and insulating gases) and electrical and mechanical machinery.
Expansion concepts and requirements
Two concepts were proposed for the addition to building 909. Both were single story structures varying mainly in building height. Both concepts utilize a building foot print of 72’X100’. The first concept, Option A, proposes an approximately 7200 square foot addition bounded on the north by the 1967 addition and bounded on the west by the 1966 building 909A with a structure height of approximately 30 feet. The second concept, Option B, proposes an approximately 7200 square foot addition bounded on the north by the 1967 addition and bounded on the west by the 1966 building 909A with a structure height of approximately 40 feet.
Based on the 50% review it was decided to pursue with option B. It was also decided that the use of a prefab metal building did not fit with the Architectural Compatibility Plan (ACP). Option B was also modified to decrease in size to approximately 6,480 square feet with an overall building size of 72’X90’. Due to the existing tension only bracing, current code requirements for additions and UFC criteria for upgrading or retrofitting existing buildings it is our recommendation that the new addition be structurally separated from building 909.
The proposed addition will have a stucco exterior finish to meet the requirements of the Architectural Compatibility Plan. This addition does not have any exterior window;
however the user has requested the need to provide 3 skylights above the doors.
This addition is just for the laboratory and no support spaces like restrooms or offices are being planned.
2 February 2012 9 of 31
Since the addition is over 5,000 SF, the design will incorporate EISA section 438 requirements for storm water management. Some techniques or options that should be explored during the design are permeable pavement and rain water harvesting cisterns.
The building will also have a 10 ton bridge crane that spans the 70foot dimension of the building and traverses the 90 foot long dimension. There will be a 2 foot deep containment trench around the interior of the building capable of holding 15,000 gallons and an additional Anechoic Chamber pit approximately 30’X30’X6 feet deep.
AFH 32-1084 will be used as a baseline for facility space requirements
This facility houses high voltage equipment, devices that produce RF energy, and diagnostic equipment for laboratory experiments. An anechoic chamber is required for radiating the pulse from a HPM source. This facility will require an overhead bridge crane for moving large equipment and ionizing radiation shielding. This facility will need to be compliant with liquid containment requirements (i.e., trench) to prevent discharge into the environment in the event of a spill.
The ideal space for the user’s mission would provide sufficient prime power in anticipation of future directed energy work, along with the ability to demonstrate using this pulsed energy. The facility would also provide sufficient safety and environmental devices to satisfy local regulation and probable changes during the lifetime of the facility. An overhead crane that spans the entire lab area would also expedite movement of devices materials.
.Access to the lab area is restricted so the general office populace is not in the vicinity of the laboratory. The separation of the administrative area is essential because of the safety requirements for non-ionizing radiation workers.
Existing facility demolition and phasing requirements
The existing south wall separating the expansion and the existing storage / workroom is being demolished. The existing storage / workroom has a floor area of approximately 2,885 square feet. The demolition of the southern exterior wall, to expand the area to be part of the new expansion, will be done under a phased construction plan. The phased construction plan will provide full function of the existing building while construction is in progress with the expansion. After construction of the expansion is completed, the demising wall (the southern exterior wall of the existing storage / workroom) will be demolished. Fire sprinkler coverage will be expanded from the expansion area into the existing workroom. The fire protection system design shall incorporate the future coverage of this area.

Existing building:
Building 909 consists of two main structures, building 909 built in 1950 (~ 9412 sf.) and 909A built in 1966 (~ 8323 sf.). Two additions were added to building 909A, one in 1967 (~ 1608 sf.) and one in 1970 (~ 1213 sf.). All of the structures are connected with no apparent separation joints. The original 909 building is a two story cast in place (CIP) concrete structure with CMU shear walls. The balance of the 909 buildings is high-bay single story structures. Gravity framing consists of steel columns supporting steel beams and open web steel joists.
Lateral resistance is provided by tension only (rod) “X” bracing. Roof diaphragm is bare metal deck with rigid insulation. Foundations for the 909 building are conventional spread and continuous footings on ground.
2 February 2012 14 of 31
Two concepts (option A & option B) are proposed for the addition to building 909.
Both are single story structures varying mainly in building height. Both concepts utilize a building foot print of 72’X100’. The first concept, Option A, proposes an approximately 7200 square foot addition bounded on the north by the 1967 addition and bounded on the east by the 1966 building 909A with a structure height of approximately 30 feet. The second concept, Option B, proposes an approximately 7200 square foot addition bounded on the north by the 1967 addition and bounded on the east by the 1966 building 909A with a structure height of approximately 40 feet.
The structural concept for option “A” or “B” is the same. Due to the existing tension only bracing, current code requirements for additions and UFC criteria for upgrading or retrofitting existing buildings it is our recommendation that the new addition be structurally separated from building 909. The new structure is expected to use a metal deck diaphragm at the roof level supported by a combination of wide flange beams and open web steel joists supported by steel columns on conventional spread footings. A column spacing of 24 feet in the N- S direction will be utilized on the East and West ends of the building with steel girders spanning the 24 foot dimension and 40” deep open web steel joist spanning 70 feet clear to the steel girders. The lateral system is expected to be a steel brace frame. As the owner has requested a metal exterior, the building is an ideal candidate for a pre-manufactured steel building and this option should be further investigated.
Based on the 50% review the decision to proceed with option B was exercised. It was also decided that the use of a prefab metal building did not fit with the proposed direction of the project. Option B was also modified to decrease in size to approximately 6,200 square feet with an overall building size of 72’X90’. Due to the existing tension only bracing, current code requirements for additions and UFC criteria for upgrading or retrofitting existing buildings it is our recommendation that the new addition be structurally separated from building 909.
Two potential structural systems are viable for the new building. The first is expected to use a metal deck diaphragm at the roof level supported by a combination of wide flange beams and open web steel joists supported by steel columns on conventional spread footings. A column spacing of 22.5 feet in the N-S direction will be utilized on the East and West ends of the building with steel girders spanning the 22.5 foot dimension and 40” deep open web steel joist spanning 70 feet clear to the steel girders and spaced at approximately six feet on center. Two intermediate HSS sections located about 13 feet on center vertically and spanning between columns will be utilized to brace the exterior metal wall system. The lateral system is expected to be a steel brace frame with grade beams under the brace frame locations.
The second structural system would use a metal deck diaphragm at the roof level supported by a combination of wide flange beams and open web steel joists supported by CMU masonry pilasters integrated into a CMU wall on conventional continuous footings and widened at the pilaster locations. A pilaster spacing of
22.5 feet in the N-S direction will be utilized on the East and West ends of the building with steel girders spanning the 22.5 foot dimension and 40” deep “LH type” open web steel joist spanning 70 feet clear to the steel girders and spaced at approximately six feet on center. The exterior wall system would be 12” CMU
2 February 2012 15 of 31 solid grout. The CMU wall would also serve as the lateral system in the form of a CMU shear wall. This system could be left exposed on the exterior or have a stucco exterior applied.
The building will also have a 10 ton bridge crane that spans the 70foot dimension of the building and traverses the 90 foot long dimension. There will be a 2 foot deep containment trench around the interior of the building capable of holding 15,000 gallons and an additional Anechoic Chamber pit approximately 30’X30’X6 feet deep.
Additional issues to consider are the existing foundations. As the new building is bounded on both the North and East sides the existing spread footings (that vary in size from 3’ to 4’ square) will require special attention to either avoid or incorporate into the design. Two potential solutions would be to offset the existing building far enough to miss the existing foundation system, which is probably the most cost effective. The other is to integrate the new and existing foundation systems. It may also be possible to offset column locations from existing columns and create a hybrid of the two options mentioned above.

Electrical Considerations
The mission of the building is to develop high power microwave devices, and the supporting technology of repetitive pulsed power which requires the use of large amount of electrical power, insulating materials, electrical and mechanical machinery. The final concept for the building is a 72’ x 90’ addition at 40’ tall.
1. Applicable Standards
It is anticipated that the building would be designed in accordance with the 2009 New Mexico Electrical Code (NMEC) an adaption and amended version of 2008 NEC, 2009 New Mexico Electrical Safety Code (NMESC), 2009 New Mexico Energy Conservation Code (NMECC) and any applicable UFC requirements.
2. Building Power Distribution
Function The function of the building power distribution is to provide electrical power to the lab equipment and other miscellaneous loads.
3. System Description
Existing System.
The existing electrical service to Building 909 is 480V, 3Ph. It is not expected to utilize or extend this power to new building addition due to anticipated high demand of the new building. Additionally, this new building expansion will be structurally separated from the existing building 909 as indicated by the structural engineer on the Structural Narrative.
New Building Addition/Expansion.
The client anticipates 2MW power requirement in the near future. The new electrical service will be sized to accommodate this future power requirement. The contractor will provide a new service entrance switchboard and pad mounted transformer to serve a 3000 amp main.
Both transformer and the SES will be located at the North East side of the new building.
A Surge Protection Device (SPD) will be provided to protect sensitive
Lab equipment, electronics and computer systems from electrical transients and high frequency noise. SPD protection will be located as determined by system load configuration.
Major Lab equipment, 10 ton bridge crane, lighting, mechanical, and distribution panels will be 480Y/277 volt. One lighting panel will serve the

5. Uninterrupted Power Source (UPS)
• System Description There is currently no UPS power requirement for the building. A UPS system currently is not in the program.
6. Building Grounding and Lightning Protection
• Function The function of the grounding system is to provide an alternate path to ground and to provide a low impedance reference source to all systems with in the building.
• System Description Grounding system and devices to match existing high voltage application and to satisfy latest facility standard and applicable code requirement. As a minimum, a driven electrode grounding system in counterpoise will be provided. The system will be designed to limit the grounding system resistance to less than 5 ohms.
Lighting protection system will be provided in accordance with UL-96 and NFPA 780 and bear the UL Master C label.
A question was raised on the lightning protection system requirement during the 95% design review and below is an excerpt from the Lighting protection institute.
o The National Electrical Code is NFPA Document #70, as the Lightning Protection Standard is NFPA #780. These are separate documents available for adoption by the ""local authority having jurisdiction"" for construction projects in their locale. In many locations NFPA 70 (NEC) is adopted, but #780 is not - it is an option. The NEC does not require lightning protection, although it does reference 780 in several sections. Coordination generally exists between the Committees charged with keeping the documents updated. NEC references the fact that an electric service shall have a ground and lightning protection systems shall have separate grounds. NEC references the fact that when there is a 780 lightning protection system the grounds shall be interconnected with the electrical ground. NEC addresses surge suppression as an option, but wording is to be added to clarify that when a 780 lightning protection system is installed, the surge is required by that Standard. Items such as ground terminal devices are coordinated between documents, so that the same products are used in similar soil types. We would presume that since lightning risk assessment is determined through Annex L of the #780 document, and there are locations without much lightning activity, it would be difficult to require lightning protection everywhere or even on specific structures everywhere in a document like NEC. This would make the NEC document not as useful in certain areas.
o Our recommendation is to include it in the design, as it is appropriate for the type and use of this facility expansion.

Mechanical and Fire Protection Considerations
• New Addition Concepts:
• Two concepts were proposed for the addition to Building 909. The two concepts differ only on the height of the building. This height difference will have a minimal effect mechanical system requirement.
• After the 50% design review, it was decided to pursue the building expansion with 40’ high bay. The existing building will be in operation during construction of the building expansion. This design concept for the building expansion will be done with a phased construction methodology to provide for minimal interruption to ongoing building operations. Where interruption to existing building services or areas is necessary during the performance construction, all shutdowns and interferences are to be performed at times that will have the least impact the building occupants.

Fire Protection Concepts
FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS
• Purpose
• This fire protection design narrative is intended to summarize code requirements, hazard and design criteria, water supply, fire pump and standpipe requirements associated with the fire protection systems for the project. The fire protection design narrative is typically used for space planning, cost estimating and design coordination, and is a companion document to the fire protection design specifications that will be provided during design.
• Applicable Codes
• This design narrative is based on review and application of the following codes and standards as adopted by the State Fire Marshal’s office:
• Uniform Fire Code
• NFPA 13, 2010 edition – Installation of Sprinkler Systems
• NFPA 14, 2010 edition – Installation of Standpipe, Private Hydrants and Hose
Systems
• NFPA 20, 2010 edition – Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection
• NFPA 24, 2010 edition – Installation of Private Fire Service Mains and their
Appurtenances
• Hazard and Fire Sprinkler Design Criteria
• The building expansion is required to be provided with automatic fire sprinklers, and will be designed in accordance with NFPA 13. While the expansion is required to have sprinklers, because the expansion cost is below 50% of the Plant Replacement Value (PRV) of the existing building, the addition of fire sprinklers into the existing building is not required.
• The wall separating the expansion and the existing storage / workroom is being demolished. The existing storage / workroom has a floor area of approximately 2,885 square feet. The demolition of the southern exterior wall, to expand the area to be part of the new expansion, will be done under a phased construction plan. The phased construction plan will provide full function of the existing building while construction is in progress with the expansion. After construction of the expansion is completed, the demising wall (the southern exterior wall of the existing storage / workroom) will be demolished. Fire sprinkler coverage will be expanded from the
2 February 2012 27 of 31 expansion area into the existing workroom. The fire protection system design shall incorporate the future coverage of this area.
• Based on the project design, occupancy, and associated fire hazards, the overall fire protection design will include wet-pipe systems throughout the project expansion area. The following design criteria is provided as a baseline for the project, and will be validated and updated during design.
o Electrical Switchgear Rooms – Light Hazard o Lab Spaces – Ordinary Hazard Group I
• WATER SUPPLY
• Fire protection water supply will be provided via connection to the water main(s). Fire mains that are used to supply the fire protection systems will be a minimum of six (6) inch. During design it will be determined if a fire water booster pump will be required.
If required, the pump will be connected to the source water main.
• Since the facility and utilities for the campus are established, it is not anticipated that any modification to site hydrant locations will be required. Water flow test data is not yet available.
