ARCHITECTURAL

A-3 GENERAL ARCHITECTURE:

The Grissom Air Reserve Base is a series of office and industrial facilities connecting to an airport. The base’s design theme is low profile campus/ office park environment balancing the human scale with the large airfield. Subtle aesthetics and massing are used to tone down the building volume and height facilities. The buildings indicate permanence, strength and security while being aesthetically pleasing. Building entrances shall have a sense of arrival and strength. The goal is to provide excellent quality design. Buildings shall be energy efficient, sustainable, environmentally friendly, easily maintained and economical. Designs shall reduce vertical appearance and volume.

A-4 GRISSOM CURRRENT STYLES:

Grissom Air Reserve Base can be separated in to four different design concepts: Grissom Blend Office, Grissom Blend Industrial, Flightline facilities and Other Facilities.

A-4.1 Grissom Blend Office Facilities:

This is the preferred standard: Dark bronze standing seam metal roof and full wall Grissom Blend Brick in a park /office theme. Low profile design.

Portico entrances with columns appropriate for group arrivals and professionals. Use accent features as indicated in the standard. Metal siding for walls is not used unless structurally required. Type’s spaces include Offices, Admin, lodging and services facilities. Use full Grissom blend brick on any building with eaves below 10’

A-4.2 Grissom Blend Industrial Facilities:

Dark bronze standing seam metal roof, metal siding, and Grissom Blend

Brick wainscot in a base warehousing theme. Maximize use of brick as much as practical. 4’ for smaller buildings 8’ is preferred. For larger.

Deemphasize the height and industrial feel as much as possible Type of spaces include Maintenance and shop facilities with eaves above 10’.

Almond metal siding is preferred.

A-4.3 Flight line Facilities:

Construction shall follow flightline / airfield guidance. Safety and function are primary concerns. This includes colors, height, standoff distances and frangibility separation. Maximize use of brick as much as practical.

Using the grissom blend brick up to 8’ is preferred. Some customized signage and architype features may be utilized.

A-4.4 Other Facilities:

The specific features varies from full metal to brick. Most are facilities that have not been renovated. The intent is for these to be upgraded using the Grissom blend brick themes to the maximum extent possible. Replace metal at wainscot level with brick. Existing material shall match the Grissom blend with standard base park office theme. Ancillary structure shall be compatible with Grissom blend themes and the surrounding facilities. These will be taken on a case by case basis.

A-6.13 Furniture

A-6.13.1 . The use, purpose and design of this is covered by the Air Force interior design standards and UFC’s the main issue is the furniture shall be durable, and conservative. Designer to provide a relaxing office environment avoid the industrial look. Due to the inherent function of the mission and military concept, the base policy is to design to be energetic but reduce the stress and pace where possible. No fads, bright colors, pinks, paisley or shiny colors.

A-6.13.2 Furniture is not real property however the design must incorporate planning for furniture to avoid conflict. This is esp. true with use of system furniture cubicles and demountable walls.

A-6.13.3 Design interiors for open floor plan using demountable walls per AFRC interior design guidance. There is specific guidance on full walls, permanent walls, and cubicles including minimum and maximum spaces.

Demountable walls are listed as furniture. The intent is to provide more flexibility for the AFRC changeable environment. Due to mission change or command change.

A-6.13.4 Provide cubical panel faces that are removable, reusable, and attached to the panel frame without the use of screws or other mechanical fasteners. Provide a top channel that holds panels in place and for floor-to-ceiling variations.

A-6.13.5 Demountable Walls shall match permanent walls and doors.

Minimize glass in demountable wall for privacy but design to allow daylighting. Use fabric or solid nonmetal and non-plastic surfaces to reduce sound reflectance. Provide tack able surfaces. No fad colors or complex patterns or shiny colors. Neutral and subtle colors. Accent by painting and accessories. No exposed fasteners.

A-6.13.6 Maximize use of wall for switches, power and comm connections.

Wiring is real property. No surface mounted units.

A-6.13.7 Provide framed portal or open space to reach wall outlets without moving furniture. Electrical design may need to lower outlet height to 16” aff .

A-6.13.8 Design to provide flexibility, maximize durability, minimize maintenance and minimize repair. Design spaces and interiors to reduce unusable resultant spaces due to systems furniture standard sizes.

A-6.13.9 Plans, drawings and spec shall be laid out for demountable walls to be a option that can be separated out of the project

A-6.14 More info for demountable walls and furniture at the AF Systems and Modular Furniture website {https://cs2.eis.af.mil/sites/10074/afcc/afica/AFFCC/SiteCollectionDocu ments/Systems%20and%20Modular/SYSTEMS%20AND%20MODULA R%20FURNIT URE.aspx}
