B. Design Statement

The 96CTG is a unique mission for Eglin Air Force Base. There are no existing facilities on Eglin AFB with the capability to collocate the number of personnel that the 96CTG will need to support the necessary testing equipment and laboratory space needed for the new missions Having this facility near Building 85 provides operational and staffing synergies critical to the success of the mission. Test and Evaluation is one of AFMC’s core mission areas. The AFTC mission to conduct DT&E of air, space, and cyberspace systems, and provide timely, objective, and accurate information to acquisition decision makers is critical. This facility will be a 21st Century design to respond to current and future needs.

C. FF&E/CID Design Statement

The Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FFE) effort includes all moveable furniture and furnishings layouts, the selection and specification of all furniture, furnishings, finishes, fabrics and accessories and the preparation of all procurement data. Furnishings are selected for functionality, performance, appearance retention and aesthetic qualities. Warranties are an important consideration for selection.

The interior design concept is to develop an aesthetic that reflects the technically advanced mission of the group yet is professional, polished and sophisticated. The FF&E selections and finish and color scheme will enhance the architectural design elements while delivering a visually dynamic space. The color palette is designed to reflect the 21st Century design aesthetic. The design team is committed to delivering a durable, easily maintained facility with high appearance retention factor. Every effort will be made to provide a smart sustainable facility using low-emitting adhesives, sealants and paints, with composite wood or agri-fiber materials and high-performance materials.

The design concept intent is to incorporate workstation designs that respond to the physical technical requirements that support the technology in use by individual users. The agreed direction was to maximize the available space to support the use of three computer monitors and one laptop. To be able to accommodate the number of personnel for each group, a 6’x8’ workstation module will be the standard used throughout. Each workstation will have an electric height-adjustable worksurface, a storage tower with box, file at the base and storage shelving above. Eliminating overhead storage cabinets and replacing them with slide out storage towers will allow adequate space for computer equipment and allow use of height adjust work surfaces for sit/stand functional environments. The 6’ dimension is the spine with the 8’ in the perpendicular direction and panels are 64” tall. The inside face of the workstation panels will consist of marker board and tackable surfaces for each. Some areas in the second floor will have the workstations arranged in teaming pods of four. Each open office area with multiple workstations will have a separate collaboration area created by using glass demountable partitions and doors, collaboration tables and seating and video walls. Areas for double and triple high computer stations with shredders and coffee cabinets will be interspersed throughout for efficiency.

E. Individual Room Requirements

GENERAL

Typical Workstation - Based on a 6’ x 8’ module with height adjustable and fixed height work surfaces.

Desktop shelving and slide-out style storage pedestal. Task chair, task light and marker boards will be included. Systems panels will surround the worksurfaces and be 64” high. Panels will have an acoustic core insert and sound transmission septum insert to provide enhanced acoustics. The tiles will provide a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of .80 and a Sound Transmission Class (STC) of 26.

Typical Office – Modular desk unit in L-shape with overhead storage, tack surfaces, fixed and height adjustable worksurfaces and file and book storage. One desk surface will be height adjustable to provide a sit/stand environment. Single task chair with two guest chairs.

Breakroom – First floor breakroom will have collaboration type high top tables and chairs. Cabinet, counter and equipment area provide coffee, microwaves, vending machines and refrigeration. Second floor breakroom will have sit-down height tables with casters and seating that is flexible and easy to reconfigure for various functions. Second floor breakroom will also have space for coffee, microwaves, snacks and refrigeration.

Test Suites – Each test suite will be set up with perimeter free standing worktables with casters and ganging mechanisms. The perimeter of each room will have a power strip just above desk height. The free-standing tables will give the users the flexibility to reconfigure each room for current or future needs.

Each table will have an ergonomic task chair. All furniture in the test suites will have electrostatic dissipative (ESD) properties.

Conference Rooms - The facility is designed with multiple conference and meeting rooms, each with various layouts but based on similar types of furniture for efficiency. 47CTS, NCR and ACR Conference Rooms are designed with rectangular interlocking training tables that can be reconfigured as needed. Event Design Collaboration Rooms 203 & 204 are designed to have joined tables that can function as a single collaboration space or separately for training or other functions. Each large conference room has task chairs at the table and armchair seating at the perimeter of the room. Conference rooms will have a video wall and glass marker boards at each side wall. The glass marker boards will be installed to be easily removable and installed away from the wall, clearing the face of the exposed conduit.

Cyber/EW Lab 139, Avionics Test Lab 136, Threat Development Lab 144 –The lab facilities in this building are the technical heart of this building. Each hot desk is 30” x 60”, each with 30” high worksurfaces.

Workbenches in this area are either 30” x 60” or 30” x 72” each with a worksurface 36” high. Final components to the hot desks and work benches must be coordinated with the user at time of placing order.

All hot desks, workbenches, cabinets and seating will have ESD characteristics, and will be on casters for flexibility. Placement of each item will be directed by the users. In the EW and Avionics Labs, each will have a fold up conference table, marker board on casters and stackable or nesting seating.

Miscellaneous Items - Laptop charging stations will be in Test Tool 218 and It Mission Prep 212. Each GFGI Crash cart in server rooms will have a small task chair added in the FFE package. The Classroom 221 will have training tables with folding nesting top, casters and wire way. Classroom task seating will be a task chair. The classroom will also have a smart podium, glass marker boards and video walls. Cell phone and laptop/tablet storage will be added at the main lobby and the east stair entrance.
