PROJECT DESCRIPTION
GENERAL FACILITY REQUIREMENTS
Scope of Project
The project will include the manufacture, installation and connection of modular laboratory units on the
proposed site with all features and performance (materials, equipment, utilities, and installations) as
described, but in no event less than requirements of codes, ordinances, regulatory agencies, and local
laws having legal jurisdiction.
PLANNING SUMMARY
Programming checklist responses were initially prepared by OSWER staff and were analyzed for each
of the laboratory spaces designated as part of this project. They include: Air Toxicology Lab; Base,
Neutral, Acid (BNA) Lab: Engineering Evaluation Unit (EEU) Lab; and Method Development Lab.
Completed checklists are included in this document for reference.
From the analysis of the checklists, Room Data Sheets were prepared for each space showing layout
and a listing of design characteristics. The room diagram shows the location of casework and major
equipment; i.e., equipment that is floor mounted or requires special services such as a local exhaust
or special cylinder gas or high voltage (208 volt) power. The room characteristics include architectural,
engineering, and environmental requirements for the space and list major equipment to be positioned
within.
Room plans utilize an 11'-0 X 11'-0 planning module. All services, partitions, casework and equipment
are organized on this repetitive unit.
A summary of the net square footages for lab and lab support spaces is as follows:
Modular Units
The modular units and all systems shall be functional, incorporating state-of-the-art design,
aesthetically comparable in design and finish materials to structures in the immediate vicinity, and of
permanent non-combustible construction.
Handicapped Accessibility
The modular units must be accessible by the physically handicapped in accordance with the UFAS
adopted by GSA in 41 CFR 101-19.6, the ADA and all state and local laws and standards for buildings
and facilities requiring accessibility and usability for physically handicapped people (Barrier Free
Design). The most stringent of these codes shall be applicable.
Resource Conservation
The modular units and all its construction features (materials, methods, and installation including
mechanical and electrical systems) shall recognize the Owner's desire to minimize energy
consumption, to use recycled materials where appropriate, and to achieve a sustainable building.
Materials/Furnishings Selection and Installation
Many building materials are known emitters of toxic or irritating chemicals. The modular units designer
shall evaluate and carefully select materials to avoid any unnecessary, costly, and troublesome
contamination of indoor air.
To reduce the quantity of chemicals emitted into building air, materials, the modular units shall be
flushed out in accordance with LEED's Credit 3.2 Construction IAQ Management Plan, before
occupancy.

Indoor Air Quality Requirements
A plan for indoor air quality control (IAQ) shall be included as part of the modular units design. The
IAQ Plan should address in detail materials selection, minimizing introduction of outdoor air pollution,
pre-occupancy procedures to accelerate off-gassing, and operations and maintenance procedures
which limit introduction of harmful chemicals. All materials, sealants, adhesives, paints and coatings,
carpet and composite wood shall meet applicable LEED credit for indoor environmental quality for low
emitting materials (along with building flush-out, previously defined).
Sustainability Requirements
A sustainable building is one that incorporates the following design features:
