EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

GOALS

Flexibility and Expandability: Laboratories are evolving at a rapid rate. The development of new laboratory procedures, changes in crime trends and political considerations all tend to influence the type of laboratory work and quantities of evidence and samples being processed in the laboratory. As a result, laboratories frequently experience the need for growth and change over their life span. Over the course of time, new labs benefit greatly from incorporating design flexibility that makes change possible with greater ease and less cost. In addition, the building organizational concept also must provide expandability to accommodate the growth of laboratory programs, staff increases, and addition of new programs and equipment.

Biological Hazards/Chemical Hazards: Regulatory requirements issued by the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandate the need to provide protection for workers encountering biohazard materials. The forensic science laboratory investigates a relatively high number of cases that originate from the criminal community, known to carry a higher incidence of dangerous diseases and drugs.

Primary risks to staff are posed by such dangerous pathogens as Hepatitis A, B, & C, Tuberculosis, HIV (AIDS), Aspergillus Fumigatus and the highly dangerous drug fentanyl; to name a few. High-risk materials also include all serological evidence (evidence saturated with body fluids or biological tissue). These materials must be treated with exceptional care.

Office Environments: All laboratory sections should include separate report-writing workstation areas near their laboratory space. These areas should be designed as standard office space with access to the laboratory corridor and adjacent laboratory area through a laboratory vestibule. Each scientist's 'clean' furniture workstation will be standard-sized, modular systems, open office. This office space has some degree of visual access to the adjacent laboratory it serves if possible.

Laboratory Vestibules: Lab vestibules should be provided at the entry points to laboratory areas to provide a physical and air (HVAC) separation between the biohazard zones and non-lab spaces. These vestibules minimize the potential transfer of airborne biological and chemical contaminants to clean areas such as main corridors and office areas. Vestibules also serve to isolate spaces having high potential for cross contamination such as DNA preamp and amp/post amp spaces. When leaving a biohazard or chemically hazardous zone, staff members are required by policy to remove laboratory coats and to clean up prior to moving to the office area. Similarly, when moving from the clean office zone to the biohazards area, staff members are required to put on protective laboratory clothing.

Laboratory Tours: The facility is to be designed so that guided tours of the laboratory can be conducted at the option and discretion of the laboratory.

Laboratory Work Surfaces: At laboratory bench surfaces where chemicals and acids will be used or biological hazards are present, epoxy resin countertops should be utilized. Generally, do not use stainless steel countertops, due to their expense. Work surfaces in non-laboratory areas, such as offices, administration, and clerical areas can be standard plastic laminate.

Acoustical Design Considerations: Noise can affect both personnel and equipment within the building and if it emanates to the exterior of the space, it can impact adjacent neighboring spaces. Control of HVAC noise and the careful selection of relevant architectural details can improve communications, speech privacy, and the general condition of work environments. Proper noise control design can also reduce long term, work-related hearing damage, fatigue, and general annoyance. It is best to consider noise control during the design stage rather than retrofit potentially more-costly noise control measures later.8 HVAC design, air volume control devices, breakout noise, and noise from lab instruments are some general conceptual level components related to acoustics.

Security Electronics: Equip the facility throughout with a monitored, proximity-access security system.

Provide access devices at doors to all laboratory sections and exterior entry doors. The system should have the capability of printing a status report with card access ID, date of access, and time of authorized entry, as well as unauthorized entries. Monitor key areas of the building and site by closed-circuit television with time lapse-video capture.

Emergency Power: The client should have the ability to operate selected aspects of the facility during a power outage. The 'emergency' power system is code-required to serve only emergency loads. The 'standby' system is connected to the same generator via separate transfer switches and distribution panels.

The exact equipment that will be on the standby power system will be determined in subsequent phases.

Uninterruptable Power System (UPS): As determined during design, the forensic lab will be powered by either a centralized UPS or point of use UPS units provided by the Owner. Room Data Sheets identify generally where UPS power is needed. If a centralized UPS system is utilized, specific UPS receptacles will be further identified and located in the design phase. Centralized UPS will be further identified in the engineering narratives and designed by the electrical engineer in the design phases. If point of use UPS units is utilized, Owner shall provide the sizes and power requirements of these units to be incorporated into the design.

JUSTIFICATION

Based on conversations with the State of Michigan and MSP, the DNA Lab and Latent Prints Lab are being evaluated to potentially be relocated from the Northville facility to the Detroit facility. The Detroit facility has two vacant spaces located on the third floor of their facility that are being considered. The team conducted multiple programming sessions with key MSP staff, along with onsite inspections of the existing facilities at the Northville and Detroit sites. Review of the existing utilities/systems in these areas were also inspected to verify they could be modified or added to in support of the new lab spaces.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The program study looked at relocating the DNA Lab & Latent Prints Lab into separate vacant spaces on the third floor of the Detroit Police Headquarters building. The project team made on-site visits to both facilities accompanied by both the State of Michigan and MSP to evaluate the existing operations, equipment that needed to be relocated and the over building systems in the vacated spaces.

A survey was submitted to the MSP staff, and their department leads to create a needs assessment of room sizes and workspaces that they felt necessary to create an optimal working environment. These surveys were then reviewed, and concept plans were developed and reviewed with MSP for feedback and additional information requested by the project team. When developing the concept plans, square footage numbers were included on the plans as reference showing what the program needs wanted to be based on staff feedback and what was actually provided due to space constraints.

Existing Available Spaces:

Space “A” 4,675 sf Space “B” 5,070 sf

Additional Space: 495 sf

Totals 10,240 sf

Build Out Spaces:

Space “A” – Office Area 4,675 sf Space “B” – DNA Lab 3,120 sf Space “B” – Latent Prints Lab: 2,445 sf

Totals 10,240 sf

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS

Structural/Architectural The existing structural system of the building consists of steel columns and framing with spray-on fireproofing applied to the structural members. The program includes two vacant spaces, which we have labeled Space “A” and Space “B”, which is separated by a common corridor. The exterior perimeter walls are furred out with metal studs, but no finish material is applied to the studs. There are door openings that enter each space and the locations of these doors were incorporated into the overall design of these spaces.

When developing the design of Space “A” and Space “B”, it was determined that Space “A”, that is on the exterior façade of the building, would be utilized as the office area as there are existing windows along the façade that will be incorporated into the overall design of the space. Space “B” will be utilized as the laboratory space which seems to function better with the location of the existing utility lines that are needed for the development of this space.

All new interior partitions will be constructed with metal stud and gypsum board. These walls will be painted with low VOC paint and at evidence drying rooms, epoxy resin finish will be provided. New flooring will be provided, which will be chemically resistant, heat-welded, homogeneous in color, seamless, vinyl flooring in most laboratory spaces and epoxy resinous flooring in drying rooms. New ceilings will be provided and will consist of acoustical lay-in ceilings similar to Armstrong Ultima with NRC of .7 and reflectance of .9. In special applications such as laboratories, a vinyl coated, lay-in, ceiling will be utilized. A clean room ceiling with a high NRC and high light reflectance will be provided.

Mechanical Design The mechanical systems will be designed to be energy efficient and provide occupant comfort in the space.

The HVAC system will utilize existing high plume lab exhaust fans and make up air units to serve a variable air volume system in both of renovated spaces. Precise air flow supply and exhaust air valves and controls will be utilized in the lab space to maintain room pressure requirements and fume hood exhaust air flow for occupant safety. Existing high efficient condensing boilers will be utilized to serve all the reheat coils in the space.

Plumbing Design The plumbing systems will be designed to provide domestic water for all the plumbing fixtures and safety showers in an efficient and safe manor. The sanitary piping will be protected with neutralization kits at each lab sink. The plumbing will be served by the existing building’s domestic water system and existing domestic water heater.

Electrical Design The electrical systems associated with the forensic laboratory expansion shall be designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing facility infrastructure while supporting the specialized operational requirements of forensic science and DNA testing functions. The design will evaluate available capacity within the existing electrical distribution system and identify modifications necessary to serve the expanded laboratory spaces, support areas, and associated building systems.
