PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - 1512F JOINT RECEPTION CENTER - Page 1

2.0 PROJECT OBJECTIVES – P1512F JOINT RECEPTION

CENTER

2.1. Mission Statement

Construct a new JRC building to house the MCCSSS student in-processing functions and administrative offices for the H&S company.

2.2. Facility Function

The JRC is being created to house the functions required for processing incoming Marines being placed into MCCSSS training programs at Camp Johnson. These functions are currently located in five separate buildings that were affected by Hurricane Florence in September 2018 and slated to be demolished. To aid in its function it will be located near Camp Johnson’s main Barracks Buildings, the mess hall, and the new LOG OPS School. It will provide a central one-stop in-processing and briefing facility for Marines in Waiting, Entry Level Recruits, and intermediate level marine trainees. It also will be linked with a direct covered path to a planned new clinic slated to be built directly adjacent to this facility that will aid in the clinic’s staff for providing in-processing functions.

2.3. Project Specific Priorities

2.3.1. Sustainable Design and Construction

All NAVFAC projects are subject to sustainable design criteria and are required to meet the requirements of the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings (HPSB). The Guiding Principles are outlined in a cross disciplinary publication addressing requirements for new building construction and modernization of all federally owned facilities. Sustainable principles will be integrated into the design, development and construction of the project in accordance with Executive Order 13834 and other applicable laws and Executive Orders.

Design and construct the project to comply with sustainability requirements identified in Part 2 Section 01 33 29.05 20, Sustainability Reporting for Design-Build. Additional specific sustainability requirements are found in RFP Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 sections.

Design and construct the project in accordance with UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements. The UFC provides design, construction and modernization criteria for projects of all sizes. It outlines performance thresholds in energy and water, addresses criteria of indoor air quality, identifies resiliency concerns, addresses planning and design, and establishes a baseline across all of DOD for documenting sustainability. A major component of the policy established in this UFC is the Sustainable Third Party Certification requirement for projects that reach specific size and cost thresholds.

Additional, agency-specific requirements can be found in NAVFAC Engineering & Construction Bulletins (ECBs) such as Issue No. 2014-02. ECB 2014-02 describes overall NAVFAC policy and guidance on sustainability and energy requirements.

2.3.2. Storm Water Management - Low Impact Development (LID)

Comply with UFC 3-210-10, Low Impact Development and FC 1-300-09N Navy and Marine Corps Design Procedures. Additional specific LID and stormwater management requirements

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - 1512F JOINT RECEPTION CENTER - Page 2 are found in RFP Parts 3 and 4, Section G30. In addition to LID, comply with State and Local stormwater regulations.

2.3.3. Energy Efficiency

The level of energy performance the Government seeks may only be achieved through coordinated design of architectural, electrical, and mechanical elements of the design. All energy systems must be designed in compliance with the following unless more stringent requirements are noted otherwise:

UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements. Incorporate energy efficiency in accordance with UFC 1-200-02, HPSB requirements

EPAct 20105

EISA 2007

ASHRAE Standard 189.1 - 2014

ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2013.

Energy consuming equipment and products must meet or exceed Energy Star or FEMP efficiency levels. This includes built-in equipment (lights, HVAC, water heating, industrial equipment, etc.) and collateral equipment (office equipment, IT, task lighting, etc.). For equipment types not rated by Energy Star or FEMP, equipment efficiencies must be in the top 25 percent of similar products. All purchased electronics must be EPEAT registered. In addition, provide an ECA, which will demonstrate compliance with all energy related requirements in UFC 1-200-02. Measure and record existing building utility consumption, provide design calculated estimated energy savings and post construction documentation and reporting of actual realized energy savings.

2.3.4. Building Commissioning

Provide commissioning to meet requirements identified in Section 01 91 00.15 22 Total Building Commissioning, and UFC 1-200-02 High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements.

2.3.5. Accessibility Requirements

Provide barrier-free design is generally required in accordance with UFC 1-200-01, General Building Requirements.

2.3.6. Antiterrorism Force Protection

The primary objective for the Marine Corps Base (MCB) security engineering is to ensure compliance with the Antiterrorism Force Protection (AT/FP) program requirements and applicable Marine Corps physical security measures in MCO 5530.14A, as supplemented by the UFC. The AT/FP program requirements and Marine Corps physical security measures are to safeguard personnel, equipment, and property. A risk analysis and vulnerability assessment (RAVA) has not been performed and a specific Design Basis Threat has not been identified.

The facility is considered Inhabited and will be routinely occupied by 11 or more personnel.

The facility must be designed in accordance with the chapter 3 standards of UFC 4-010-01, except that parking is not permitted in the 33-foot unobstructed space around the building. This

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - 1512F JOINT RECEPTION CENTER - Page 3 includes low occupancy portions of the building, as applicable, due to physical security and operational requirements. The facility must also be designed in accordance with the following requirements:

a) Antiterrorism Architectural Special Requirements – Installation mission-assurance has requested security-conscious layouts and configurations for the interior layout of the building spaces and entrances to the building. The goal is to improve antiterrorism safety without adding cost, without hardening the building, and without adversely affecting the usability of the building.

b) Building Entrance Orientation – Orient the main building entrance such that it does not provide vehicles the capability to drive through the main entry of the building. Where this is impractical, ensure that the entry storefront does not directly face a main hallway or a mass-gathering space. Lay out entrances to be welcoming and accessible, but so that the entrances are visibly protected and inaccessible against a vehicle attempting to force entry. Ensure that building main entrance layouts are also compliant with UFC 4-010-01 Chapter 3-12, Standard 11 Building Entrance Layout. Where this section conflicts with Standard 11, Standard 11 must take precedence.

c) Proximity of Densely Populated Areas to Parking – To mitigate risks to densely populated areas, locate uninhabited, low-occupancy, and mechanical yard areas adjacent to parking lots. Locate densely populated areas away from parking lots to the maximum extent possible given available site space and building square footage. The preference is to keep densely populated areas 82 feet away from parking spaces, if sufficient site space is available. Uninhabited and low occupancy spaces include utility rooms, hallways/corridors without seating, and storage areas. Densely populated areas include classrooms, large break rooms, locker rooms, conference rooms, auditoriums, and other areas with a high personnel density. During the CDW, include the installation Antiterrorism Officer (mission-assurance) on discussions for the preferred layout of mass gathering and densely populated administrative areas relative to the proposed site plan.

d) Antiterrorism Landscape Architecture Special Requirements – Installation mission-assurance has requested security-conscious landscape features that afford improved protection to the building occupants. The goal is to improve antiterrorism safety without adding cost by utilizing UFC-mandated landscape architecture features to protect vulnerable areas and using excess fill from the project site for landscaped berms. A specific design basis threat for an active shooter or attack vehicle does not apply;

therefore, the intent is to complement architectural layouts and civil site features to improve occupant protection within the project scope of work.

e) Vehicle Deterrent Landscaping – Landscaping features can provide a significant physical and psychological deterrent to the risk of a vehicle ramming attack as a part of a vehicle-deterrent perimeter. Landscaping features do not need to be rated passive vehicle barriers to afford greater security to the building occupants.

f) Unobstructed Space – Trees, plantings, and site furniture may be located within the 33-foot unobstructed space around each building, provided they are compliant with the UFC 4-010-01 and UFC 3-201-02 requirements for landscaping in the unobstructed space.

For berms, ensure berms in the unobstructed space do not exceed a height of 4 feet, 6 inches to eliminate concealment opportunities.

g) Large-Diameter Trees – Tree species that will grow to a large DBH (greater than 6 inches) provide an aesthetically pleasing and natural barrier to vehicle traffic. It is

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - 1512F JOINT RECEPTION CENTER - Page 4 desirable to position large diameter trees in the space between the building and parking lots or roads where permissible by code and feasible based on available site space.

Provide tree plantings with at least 4 inches DBH where the trees are integrated into the vehicle-deterrent perimeter. Multiple staggered rows of trees serve as highly effective vehicle barriers once the trees have grown. Where providing multiple rows of trees stagger and space the trees to eliminate any corridors exceeding a 5-foot width perpendicular to the adjacent roads or drive aisles. Final tree layout, tree spacing, and species must be approved by the Government Landscape Architect and installation Antiterrorism Officer.

h) Concrete Site Features – Concrete benches and picnic tables are excellent deterrents to vehicles. Concrete planters are not desirable due to landscaping maintenance issues and concealment concerns in the unobstructed space.

i) Berms and Ditches – Berms and ditches provide protection and can be integrated with the landscaping plan (e.g., trees along tops of berms and creeping juniper on the sides).

j) Elevated Plazas – For buildings that require elevated entryway access with stairs and accessible ramps, consider arranging the stairs, ramps, and any low retaining walls or sloped soil so that they are positioned near the edge of the vehicle parking lot and adjacent roadways. A steeper, landscaped, stabilized slope near the edge of the parking lot with a sidewalk in front of it serves as a visible deterrent to illegal parking and approaching vehicles.

k) Bollards at Building Entrances – Bollards are an option where other features such as stairs, pedestrian ramps, trees, or berms do not deter direct vehicle access to the main building entrance. Bollards are desirable for sidewalks and plazas leading into the main building entrance provided there is no adverse impact to pedestrian accessibility. A bollard spacing of 4 feet on center will meet ABA/ADA requirements. Architectural bollards near the building entry are a desirable way to improve protection while improving site lighting (for lighted bollards) and appeal. Removable bollards are acceptable and beneficial for future building maintenance. Coordinate with vehicle access control requirements as part of civil site design. Provide the option of either permanent or removable bollards, determined based on customer needs at the CDW and subsequent design review meetings.

l) Visual Screening Landscaping at Queuing & Entry Areas –Visual screening affords protection for building occupants and visitors against the potential for vehicular or active shooter threats. Landscaping that provides visual obscuration of building entrances and outdoor queuing or congregation areas is highly desirable to improve protection of personnel in exposed areas.

m) Antiterrorism Civil Site Design Special Requirements – Installation mission-assurance has requested security-conscious site plans that afford improved protection to the building occupants. The goal is to improve antiterrorism safety without adding cost by laying out necessary vehicle parking and storm water features to protect vulnerable areas of the building. A specific design basis threat for an attack vehicle does not apply;

therefore, the intent is to complement architectural layouts and landscaping features to improve occupant protection within the project SOW. The unobstructed space and vehicle access control requirements defined below are added scope items to manage nuisance parking and maintain the unobstructed space for base operational considerations.

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - 1512F JOINT RECEPTION CENTER - Page 5

n) Vehicle Access Control – All projects must include consideration for vehicle access control in the form of lockable swing gates and/or lockable removable bollards along driveways and access roads that lead to service areas around the building within the 33-foot unobstructed space. Other open plaza areas must be secured with permanent bollards in combination with removable bollards. Portions of buildings that must be secured within a restricted area fence (e.g., motor pools) are excluded from this requirement.

o) Service Area Access – Access for service areas around the building includes roads and driveways that lead to utility rooms, loading docks, mechanical yards, other areas in the unobstructed space that are used for building maintenance, and for roads that are only used for fire access.

p) Pedestrian Areas – Open plazas, hardscaping, and other outdoor pedestrian-congregation areas that are adjacent to a roadway must also feature vehicle access control integrated with permanent landscaping and civil site features as part of a vehicle-deterrent perimeter. Removable and fixed architectural bollards (lighted, where beneficial) are preferred for vehicle access control to open plazas, hardscaping, and other outdoor pedestrian-congregation areas with at least four removable bollards in a row for service access to these pedestrian areas. Provide the option of either permanent or removable bollards, determined based on customer needs at the CDW and subsequent design review meetings.

q) Access Control Requirements – Where bollards are provided, space bollards 4 feet on center starting at each edge of the road or driveway. Where gates are provided, provide single or double leaf swing gates with posts that start at the edge of the roadway (or behind the curb) and which include receiving posts to secure the gate in the open position. Gates must not encroach on the roadway or driveway while in the open position. Gates and bollards must be high visibility and meet all other UFC requirements, such as those for signage, high-visibility, reflectivity, and striping, to meet traffic safety requirements. Gates and bollards for vehicle access control to service areas and pedestrian congregation areas need not be crash rated. Refer to UFC 4-022-03, Security Fences and Gates for additional requirements for gates.

r) Vehicle-Deterrent Perimeter – Gates and bollards must be integrated with landscaping and civil site features to deter vehicles from bypassing the access control by driving around the barriers and to maintain a vehicle-deterrent perimeter.

s) Consolidating Access Control – Access roads to service areas around the building can be secured where the access road begins at the adjacent roadway or parking lot, provided this is integrated with the vehicle-deterrent perimeter, in order to reduce the total cost of providing vehicle access control to the unobstructed space.

t) Control Vehicle Speed – Arrange parking lot access roads and drive aisles so that any direct approaches to the building walls or building entrance cannot exceed 25 miles per hour. Speed limit signage alone is not sufficient to constrain vehicle speed. Speed limit control in parking lots and access roads is also desirable to improve pedestrian safety and to reduce the risk of vehicle accidents.

u) Limit Vehicle Approaches to Building – Arrange access roads and drive aisles so that no vehicles have long straight approaches directly at the exterior walls of the building, particularly at the building entrance. Keep the long axis of drive aisles parallel with the walls of the building to control the approach direction of a vehicle. Arrange access roads

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - 1512F JOINT RECEPTION CENTER - Page 6 so that personnel do not drive directly facing the building walls or any entrance. For short drive aisles that run perpendicular to the long axis of the parking lot, coordinate with landscape architecture to provide civil site and landscaping features that visually or physically deter vehicle access. Alternatively, locate these perpendicular drive aisles beyond the ends of the building so traffic does not directly face the building walls or any entrance. Loading docks/heavy truck areas need not consider these requirements due to the impracticability of implementing this where building access is a requirement. Provide curb stops in parking spots that are adjacent to the building to discourage vehicle parking in the unobstructed space.

v) Unobstructed Space & Vehicle-Deterrence – Provide a minimum 33-foot unobstructed space around the building without new parking, existing parking, new roadways, or new drive aisles. Keep existing drive aisles and roadways out of the unobstructed space to the maximum extent practicable. Provide berms, drainage swales/ditches, and other civil site features between the building and any adjacent parking lots or roadways as part of a vehicle-deterrent perimeter. Berms can also reduce offsite fill disposal costs, provided that fill is verified to be non-hazardous, non-contaminated. The CDW must address how to integrate unobstructed space and vehicle-deterrence needs within the available site footprint in consultation with the installation Antiterrorism Officer.

w) Unobstructed Space Preferences – The installation mission-assurance personnel prefer larger unobstructed spaces where feasible based on available site space.

Unobstructed space need not exceed 82 feet for larger, open sites. This unobstructed space preference is to the mass-gathering portions of each facility that excludes open hangar areas, apparatus bays, and other areas that are specifically designed to be low-occupancy spaces as defined in UFC 4-010-01. Refer to Paragraph C, Proximity of Densely Populated Areas to Parking for more information.

2.3.7. Facility-Related Control System Cybersecurity

Design, acquire and execute all facility-related control systems in accordance with UFC 4-010- 06, Cybersecurity of Facility-Related Control Systems. Design the project using UFGS 25 05 11, Cybersecurity for Facility-Related Control Systems. CIO4 Government Point of Contact to be utilized in SECTION 25 05 11 is: James Mahoney, ICS ISSM for Camp LeJeune, email at James.D.Mahoney@usmc.mil ]. Submit CCIs as attachments to SECTION 25 05 11.

2.3.8. Secured Areas

Comply with the Marine Corps physical security measures in MCO 5530.14A as supplemented by the Unified Facilities Criteria.

2.3.9. Air Quality Management

When demolition or renovation occur, ensure that subject buildings are evaluated for asbestos and asbestos-containing materials by a certified professional prior to the demolition or renovation.

Ensure that any fugitive dust emissions generated by construction, renovation, or demolition are appropriately controlled.

If the project includes installation of new activities or equipment which generate air emissions, and the sources have not been evaluated for air permitting by MCB CAMLEJ, contact AQ program at (910)451-9017. Please note that air emission sources are required to be permitted prior to their installation and operation. Examples of such sources include, but are not limited to:

boilers, water heaters, generators, fuel storage tanks, painting/coating operations, woodworking, welding, abrasive blasting, engine testing, refrigerant recovery devices, and parts ovens.

If the project involves any refrigerant handling or manipulation, ensure that appropriate ODS servicing procedures are followed.

If the project includes removal of any currently permitted air emission sources (see Item 3 for examples), contact AQ program at (910)451-9017.

2.4. Appropriate Design

Design the new building and systems in accordance with all Codes, Standards, UFCs, and criteria explicitly and implicitly stated herein. Employ integrated design principles.

2.4.1. Building Design - Architecture

The JRC Building exterior envelope design must follow the architectural design features prescribed in the Camp Lejeune BEAP, 2010 for Camp Johnson (Section 4.13). This document establishes key exterior materials, material finishes/colors and building façade and roofing design elements to be incorporated into the building’s exterior design.

Options for the exterior wall design are listed in Part 3, Chapter 6, B20 Exterior Closure ESR.

Any of the listed options is allowed for the design of the exterior wall, as long as the design elements for the exterior wall defined in the BEAP are provided.

The building design floor plan must generally follow the arrangement of spaces indicated in the Blocking Diagram in Part 3, Chapter 4 of this RFP. If any particular support space such as

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - 1512F JOINT RECEPTION CENTER - Page 9 mechanical rooms can be reduced in size as the building design develops, that space must be allotted to other user functional priorities with no reduction in building square footage.

Daylighting requirements prescribed in applicable codes and standards must be provided by only vertical fenestration elements that include vertical fenestration (windows) placed in exterior walls, a glazed exterior wall (curtain wall or storefront), vertical fenestration placed in building clerestories, or vertical fenestration elements placed in the steep sloped roofing that include dormers or monitors (raised roof area with clerestory windows above the sloped roof) that are compatible with BEAP prescribed elements and approved by MCBCL during the design process. All fenestration must incorporate shading devices/overhangs or other means to prevent direct sunlight entering occupied spaces and work surfaces per guidelines in applicable UFCs.

Skylights and solar tubes are prohibited for this project.

The building design and design documentation must follow/meet applicable UFCs listed in Chapter 3, Part 1 and applicable building codes.

2.4.2. Civil/Site

The site for the JRC must provide for the easy delivery and processing of new students to Camp Johnson. To accommodate this, the site must provide bus and truck (student gear is delivered by flatbed truck (WB-50 semitrailer)) access that is easily negotiable in a drive-through fashion.

The unloading and staging area for the students and their gear must be covered to provide protection from the elements while staging to enter the facility. This area also must be a paved or paver surface to eliminate the tracking of mud into the facility. Pedestrian circulation must be designed for the high volume of students and personnel that will be traversing to other common destinations adjacent to the facility, such as the mess hall. Most students are not allowed cars on base and as such, large groups of Marines often travel by foot together, often in formation.

These formations will require wider than normal sidewalks.

Parking should be adjacent with sidewalk access to the building for the personnel working in the facility. The parking area must also be designed with consideration to expand the parking lot to co-locate additional parking for the future Ambulatory Care Center that is planned to be built immediately to the west of the JRC.

Provide sufficient area for the AT/FP compliant dumpster/trash/recycling containers that is convenient for both the building occupants and the solid waste pick-up vehicle.

All-weather access roads to the facility for emergency vehicles and for base maintenance access to mechanical rooms and exterior equipment must be provided.

Being in an already developed portion of Camp Johnson, site utilities (water/sewer) surround the building site and are readily available for connection.

Drainage will be a design challenge with two major storm drainage pipelines running through the building site. These large pipes (30-inch and 42-inch RCP) will need to be relocated outside of the building footprint. Site grading must provide sufficient slope to drainage structures to eliminate standing water and direct it away from buildings and paved areas.

Stormwater management must comply with UFC 3-210-10, Low Impact Development, and all State stormwater permit requirements for both treatment quality and discharge quantity and rate.

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - 1512F JOINT RECEPTION CENTER - Page 10

This project must meet Guiding Principles compliance and must comply with UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements.

2.4.3. Environmental / Conservation / Cultural Resources

NEPA work for this project has been completed by NAVFAC.

2.4.4. Structural

The structural design objective is to construct an efficient, safe, and durable building constructed from any of the materials and load bearing systems permitted in the Part 3 ESR narratives and meeting the reference codes and standards. As part of this objective, the structural design must be coordinated with all disciplines and must meet functional requirements.

To help meet the objective, NAVFAC has provided a significant amount of historic geotechnical information and ECS has performed a preliminary geotechnical investigation of this site. Refer to Part 6 for the ECS preliminary information that includes previous investigations provided by NAVFAC. The NAVFAC and ECS geotechnical information is reliable for preliminary information but must be verified by the Contractor. The Contractor is solely responsible for interpreting available geotechnical information. The Contractor is responsible for conducting an independent geotechnical investigation for foundation design.

2.4.5. Fire Protection

Building Code and Life Safety Analysis

Provide a complete building code and life safety code analyses in accordance with UFC 3-600- 01 and FC 1-300-09N.

Fire Alarm and Mass Notification

Design and provide an integrated fire alarm, mass notification system capable of notifying building occupants inside the facility of an emergency event. Design and install all equipment per the criteria of ESR and PTS Sections D40 and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Where the words "should" or “shall” are used in the manufacturer’s recommendations and in referenced Codes and Standards, substitute the word "must".

Fire Protection Sprinkler System

Design and provide a wet pipe fire sprinkler system for complete fire protection coverage throughout the entire building. Design and install all equipment per the criteria of ESR and PTS Sections D40 and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Where the words "should" or “shall” are used in the manufacturer’s recommendations and in referenced Codes and Standards, substitute the word "must". Base hydraulic design on the water supply data provided in ESR Section D40 and Part 6.

2.4.6. Telecommunications

Provide a complete Telecommunications backbone and horizontal distribution system as specified throughout this RFP. Install all equipment, pathways, and cabling per the criteria per the PTS Sections D50 and G40 and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Where the words

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - 1512F JOINT RECEPTION CENTER - Page 11

“should” or “shall” are used in the manufacturer’s recommendations, substitute with the word “must”.

Provide a MDF to house telecommunications equipment and cabling as well as, service provider equipment and cabling. Additionally, provide floor/area serving IDFs to house telecommunications equipment and cabling.

Provide fiber and copper exterior and interior backbone cabling to each MDF and IDF. Provide copper horizontal cabling from each IDF with cable tray and conduit pathways to each Work Area Outlet (WAO).

Provide exterior underground communications duct bank manhole system from existing duct bank(s) and manhole to the MDF inside each building.

The design and installation must be in accordance with the latest TIA standards, all applicable Unified Facilities Criteria documents, and the latest local provider and applicable military department standards and criteria.

2.5. Workflow Process

This Joint Reception Center houses several in-processing and administrative functions that will require separate entries to each one. They include separate entrances to the Marines Awaiting Training (MAT) classrooms, the Entry Level Recruits (ELR) classrooms, to the Personal Administrative Center (PAC) for intermediate level Marines and PAC staff, and to H&S (completely administrative department with no Marines requiring access).

In addition, the facility is required to handle busloads of Marines at one time with the greatest number of students in January and February. The buses arrive at a bus drop-off driveway just south of the building. Marines will off load under a covered canopy that is sited directly adjacent to the building, but it is a separate structure from the JRC Building. The covered canopy has a place for Marines to store their personal backpacks and gear while training takes place. If arriving by bus they will proceed to either the ELR classrooms or the MAT classrooms, both of which are located directly adjacent to the covered canopy. The PAC that has a much smaller load of students for in-processing functions is located to the east side of the building. H&S, a small administrative department, has their entrance located on the west side of the building.

The MAT and ELR classrooms are provided with a folding panel partition to allow the size of the classroom to be changed depending on the training requirements.

Hours of Operation

Hours of operation are from 0700 to 1700, Monday through Friday for student in-processing.

Administrative staff access to the facility is allowed 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Staffing/Occupancy

The JRC is occupied primarily during daytime hours by students occupying training spaces, and administrative staff in administrative departments.

The number of occupants specified in this RFP and indicated in the Building Program in Part 3, Chapter 4 are identified for programming purposes. Determine occupancy load to be used to

PART 3 - CHAPTER 2 - 1512F JOINT RECEPTION CENTER - Page 12 design building features, such as structural, egress, and plumbing fixtures must be as required in applicable building or life safety codes based on the spaces provided in the building design.

2.6. Special Design Challenges

Special design challenges include the following:

The large number of MILCON facilities that are to be built at or around the same time as the Joint Reception Center at Camp Lejeune may create challenges with both material and labor availability. The design of the building and systems selected for exterior envelope materials should take into account these challenges.

Refer to Part 6 for preliminary Construction Phasing Plan. Develop a detailed construction phasing plan as part of the design package for Government approval before construction.

2.7. Adaptability and Flexibility

The JRC provides flexibility in allowing the classrooms to be adjoined by utilizing folding panel partitions. The combined enlarged classrooms provide for instructional flexibility. The MAT computer lab can also be disassembled to accommodate an additional MAT classroom if necessary.
