 FACULTY OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IMR 505 : PLANNING AND DESIGN OF RECORDS AND ARCHIVAL REPOSITORY Chapter 02 : Planning and Design of Building The Basic Choice New building OR Adaptation of an existing one  FACULTY OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IMR 505 : PLANNING AND DESIGN OF RECORDS AND ARCHIVAL REPOSITORY Chapter 02 : Planning and Design of Building The Basic Choice Whether you occupy a new building or are adapting an existing building, your GOAL should be that Long after….. you and all your staff are gone.. the researchers who consult the records now are gone.. the building itself has reached the end of its useful life But the records will still be there and will still be in good condition (Kitching, 2007).  FACULTY OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IMR 505 : PLANNING AND DESIGN OF RECORDS AND ARCHIVAL REPOSITORY Chapter 02 : Planning and Design of Building The Basic Choice The new building i- More functional. - All requirements of the brief can be easily transferred to plans for a new building. ii- Possible to use all sorts of modern techniques for constructions, without modifying earlier layouts. iii- New modern style building – Overcome prejudice of archives.  FACULTY OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IMR 505 : PLANNING AND DESIGN OF RECORDS AND ARCHIVAL REPOSITORY Chapter 02 : Planning and Design of Building The Basic Choice The adaptation of an existing building - Economic - Cultural Popup The Existing Building Issues Existing building Issues when deciding to adapt an existing buildings : i- Building which is too small. ii- Building which is in a very bad state of repair. iii- Building whose interior structure is incompatible (not suitable). iv- Building which is badly situated with difficult access. 1 2 3  1 Location Location Size Floodplain (Avoidance of hazards) (other selection criteria) requirements 1- Location (Avoidance of hazards) The site for an archival facility SHOULD NOT be : a) Liable to subsidence or flooding (natural source ex. river, underground water, dam, ocean or from man-made source such as water Dam mains.) b) At risk from earthquakes, tsunamis or landslides. c) At risk from fire, explosions or impacts form or related to nearby sites or in the same building. (Ex. Within the flight path of an airport or near facilities that handle hazardous materials, gas Water mains station) d) Near a strategic installation or symbolic site that could be a target in an armed conflict. e) Near an industrial or agricultural facility or other installation emitting harmful gases, smoke, dust. Etc f) In an polluted area. g) On contaminated land. h) Near to a source of electromagnetic radiation (Ex. High voltage electrical power transmission lines) i) Near a place or a building that attracts rodents or insects.  FACULTY OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IMR 505 : PLANNING AND DESIGN OF RECORDS AND ARCHIVAL REPOSITORY Chapter 02 : Planning and Design of Building  FACULTY OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IMR 505 : PLANNING AND DESIGN OF RECORDS AND ARCHIVAL REPOSITORY Chapter 02 : Planning and Design of Building  FACULTY OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IMR 505 : PLANNING AND DESIGN OF RECORDS AND ARCHIVAL REPOSITORY Chapter 02 : Planning and Design of Building  FACULTY OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IMR 505 : PLANNING AND DESIGN OF RECORDS AND ARCHIVAL REPOSITORY Location : Taman Idaman, Serendah, Hulu Selangor.  FACULTY OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IMR 505 : PLANNING AND DESIGN OF RECORDS AND ARCHIVAL REPOSITORY Chapter 02 : Planning and Design of Building  FACULTY OF INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IMR 505 : PLANNING AND DESIGN OF RECORDS AND ARCHIVAL REPOSITORY 2- Location (other selection criteria) The site for an archival facility SHOULD BE : a) Located within a short response time of emergency services. b) Capable of allowing swift evacuation of people in the event of an emergency. (Should allow for quick evacuation) c) Located on a stand-alone or island site with free access to the entire building perimeter. The building should be completely protected from dangers posed by neighboring spaces and buildings.) d) Accessible to potential users and to cultural and educational institutions. e) Accessible by main roads and by public transportation f) Easily accessible from the parent organization (records creator). 3- Size The site must be LARGE ENOUGH to accommodate : a) The building footprint including future expansion. b) Site access and service roads c) Sufficient parking d) Sufficient tour bus or mass transit loading areas. e) Space for required storm water management areas. Storm water management is the effort to reduce runoff of rainwater or melted snow into streets, lawns and other sites and the improvement of water quality (United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 2017). Storm water management areas f) Turning radii and maneuvering space for large vehicle (Provisions for a 53 foot delivery truck is recommended) g) Circulation for thrash pickup from designated dumpster areas h) Separation between drop off areas, parking, loading and the building if recommended as part of a comprehensive security plan. i) The site should be large enough to accommodate current and projected storage requirements for 15 – 20 years from the date of occupation 4- Floodplain requirements a) The entire site should be a minimum of 5 feet (1.5 meters) above. b) 100 feet (30.5 m) away from any 100 year floodplain area.  2 Site Evaluation and Archeological Comparison Assessment Survey Security Risk Assessment Geotechnical Investigation 1- Site Evaluation and Comparison Provide a methodology/guidelines to evaluate site alternatives and provide for an assessment strategy when there are competing sites. Ex : -The new site (new building) ‘A’ vs The new site ‘B’ -The new site ‘A’ vs The existing building -The existing building ‘A’ vs The existing building ‘B’ An environmental assessment provides an evaluation of wetlands and floodplains, traffic, historic impacts and other factors (see illustration). The methodology/guidelines for the comparing sites should be employed before finalizing the site selection.  EARTQUAKES, TSUNAMIS, LANDSLIDES RISK OF FIRE, EXPLOSION etc WETLANDS AND FLOODPLAINS INDUSTRIAL FACILITY HISTORIC IMPACTS 2- Survey A complete site survey must be performed to include : a) Boundary/property lines (described by course and distance as well as a written legal description) b) Location of improvements (ex. Pavement (outdoor floor / road surface), buildings and other structures c) Identification of all easements (allow access to Boundary lines property) d) Utilities e) Trees f) Topography g) Legal title search *In addition, the land must also be considered of any future expansion of the facility/building. Topography  3- Geotechnical Investigation It should address : a) Depth to bedrock and groundwater b) Soil strata (strata = horizon) (see illustration). c) Percolations rates (determine the water absorption rate of soil) (see illustration). d) Pavement and drainage recommendations Bedrock e) Geothermal activity (is caused by the transfer of heat from depth to the earth's surface) (see illustration). Geothermal activity Soil strata 4- Security Risk Assessment It should determine if there are site-related circumstances that might jeopardize the security of the building by their mere presence such as : a) Multilane highway b) A railroad line c) A stream ‘anak sungai’ or lake d) An upstream ‘hulu sungai’ dam etc  upstream dam downstream dam 5- Archeological Assessment For projects located on government-owned land or financed in whole or in part with public funds, an ARCHEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT will most likely be REQUIRED. For archival facilities planned on private land with private funds, an archeological assessment not necessarily required; still recommended since the purpose of safeguard, preserve and manage cultural resources. When a site is not likely to contain significant artifacts, only the first phase of an assessment, documentation will be necessary. If the site is already known to contain archeological artifacts, then extra time should be allowed in the project schedule for the archeological work. There is a need of advice from archeological consultant/ history department/museum etc.  3 Zoning and Historic Parking / Public Access Preservation Considerations Site Security Emergency Vehicle Access Landscaping Site Utilities Pools and Fountains 1- Zoning and Historic Preservation Considerations State and local codes must be followed for all zoning requirements; including setbacks, height, coverage, traffic requirements, open space and floor area ratios. The local jurisdiction for the project should be consulted. Process for public review of the project must be developed. Contact must be made with the : a) Highway department of the local jurisdiction b) Utility company c) Local police d) Local fire department e) Telephone company f) Other public works agencies that will provide services to the facility. 1- Zoning and Historic Preservation Considerations a) If the project is located on land owned by / funded in whole / in part by the federal government AND the project site contains historic structures; the project must be referred to any related act (Akta Perancangan Bandar dan Desa 1976, Akta Warisan Kebangsaan 2005) Any renovations, alterations, expansions, conversions or any other modifications to an existing facility utilizing federal funds or located on federal land that have impact on historic properties will be considered a potential review project under related act. 1- Zoning and Historic Preservation Considerations b) If the project is privately funded projects on privately own land; there is NO legal requirement to fulfill special historic preservation objectives, consideration should be given to carrying out the planning process as if it were, since historic preservation law and the mission of an archival facility have a common goal – The PRESERVATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE. 2- Site Security Once a site is selected, a comprehensive security risk assessment should be completed as early in the design process as possible so that security recommendations can be incorporated at the beginning of the design process. 3- Landscaping The landscaping should be designed for water control, integrated pest management and low maintenance. The landscaping design should : a) Omit vegetation (plants/trees) within 18 inches (0.5 m) Hardscaping of the exterior wall : i- To provide for hardscaping (paths or walls) around the perimeter of the building ii- To reduce the potential for the entrance of pests and insects into the building. iii- Should have appropriate drainage. 3- Landscaping (cont) b) Plants not higher that 3 feet (1 m) tall of maturity and a tree canopy with limbs at least 7 feet (2 m) above the ground at maturity to allow light from fixtures to fall on the pedestrian route, so trees and shrubs do not obstruct lighting. c) Maintain a minimum of 15 feet (4.5m) between building and the drip-line of trees at full maturity. d) Ensure that both canopies and root systems are pruned away from the building structure (do not overhang the roof, touch the face of building or affect the foundation) e) Vegetation should be kept further away from the building to avoid risk of fire. 4- Pools and Fountains Pools and fountains and their related equipment should not be included in the design of an archival facility. These features are NOT NECESSARY for the operation of an archival repository. If pools, fountains and their related equipment am already exist on a site or cannot be omitted for reasons beyond the archivist’s control, then, additional protection against water intrusion must be provided.  5- Site Utilities a) Water supply - Verify the adequacy of the existing water supply. - Metering, backflow prevention and post indicator valve requirements must be confirmed with the local Hydrants water authority. - Hydrants must be located appropriately to provide the required fire fighting coverage. b) Sanitary sewer - Cleanouts must be provided on all sanitary sewer and storm drainage lines at approximately 5 feet away from the building. - Minimum pipe cover and slope requirements should be maintained 5- Site Utilities c) Storm Drainage System The storm drains must be separated from sanitary sewers within the property limits. A storm drainage system may consist of an open system of ditches, channels, and culverts or of a piped system with inlets and manholes. 5- Site Utilities d) Electric power The primary power from the network to the building must be run underground in concrete-encased pipe from the property line. All conduits for the primary power must have at least 50% spare conduit (empty) capacity to allow the utility company to pull new power feeds in the event a conductor/power fails and must be abandoned in place. e) Emergency vehicle access Roads, fire lanes and parking areas should be designed to permit unrestricted access for emergency vehicles. The entire length of roads, fire lanes and turn-around must be designed for the weight and turning radius of fire trucks and must provide sufficient width and clearance for emergency vehicle access. f) Parking / public access Parking, bus drop offs and parking spaces for persons with disabilities should be designed to accommodate sustained peak visitation periods. Parking and vehicular access areas include : i- visitor parking ii- tour and school buses iii- handicap accessibility iv-Staff parking Including an appropriate number of handicap accessible parking spaces 1- Meeting/participation 5% 2- Pre Planning Presentation 10% (Site visit report) 3- 3D Floor Plan 25% a) Homestyler (3D) software 20% - Room 5% - Size 5% - Relationship 5% - Equipment 5% b) Floor plan (Scroll) 5% 4- Exhibition 20% a) 3D Building + SketchUp 15% b) Bunting / Creativity 5% 5- Test 20% 6- E-documentation 20% TASK 02 Pre Planning Presentation (Site visit report) 10% **New building site AND existing building.
