Assignment 1.2: Bank Building Program ARCH 5901 Instructor: Glenn Hill
TASK: Develop a program for a mid-rise Investment Bank. Include diagrams and images on the
Tectonic, Cultural, Social and Aesthetic of the project. Through diagramming and annotated
images explain and analyze the building systems, code, spatial needs and site conditions for the
design and development of a Mid-Rise Office Building.
Remember the emphasis is on the analysis of the needs and qualities of the proposed Bank
Building. This is not a report. The data and information you collected from your research and
class activities should be developed into an analysis that explains the form, spatial needs and
qualities necessary to design this Bank Building.
Based on the previous exercises develop a series of diagrams that communicate the
fundamental requirements for the design of the Bank Building.
The booklet shall include diagrams of the information and data set out in Appendix A,
which includes but is not limited to 1) concepts and principles of the architecture’s
structure and tectonics; 2) all the code and life safety requirements for this building
type; and 3) all the critical information and analysis to understand the spatial needs and
site conditions for the design.
Use only hand drawn diagrams and annotated images. Annotation may be typed. You
may use grid paper, but no straight edge to draw diagrams.
All diagrams, sketches and text shall be your own work.
All diagrams shall have a title, description and citation.
Include a complete bibliography used to develop these diagrams and the analysis.
Use proper citation on all images, text and ideas used in this booklet.
All images shall have a title, citation and a short description communicating the
relevance of the image to your analysis.
Organize your booklet based on the Table of Contents in Appendix A.
Use a 8.5 x 11 portrait format with 2 each 5” x 8” diagram cards on each page.
Scan and scale your 5” x 8” analog diagrams as needed to include them into the book.
The book shall be composed, using good principles of graphic design.
Compose the book either in InDesign, Adobe Illustrator, Microsoft Word.

Johnson Controls VRF features include:
• Multiple unit connectivity – up to 17 indoor units can be connected to one condensing unit.
• Advanced inverter controlled compressor technology - precisely matches the amount of refrigerant being delivered to each zone, providing consistent room temperature regardless of variations in load during the day.
• Responsive controls - provide immediate response to changes in zone loads.
As many options as you’ve got rooms to cool and heat.In buildings with multiple zones that require separate comfort controls, you need options. Johnson Controls Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems give you the heating and cooling flexibility you need, combined with the reliability and energy efficiency you expect from Johnson Controls. You get the freedom to create comfortable, efficient buildings, without being limited by ductwork runs.
Johnson Controls VRF systems offer multiple configurations for both new and existing buildings. Multi-zone temperature control allows the system to handle diverse heating and cooling loads, while giving occupants the ability to adjust temperature to satisfy their individual comfort needs. In addition, variable refrigerant flow heating and cooling uses energy efficiently, because VRF uses only refrigerant without air or water as a heat transfer medium.
Johnson Controls VRF is ideal for commercial office buildings subject to diverse loads and varying occupant levels. Also, the VRF system is perfect for schools, hotels, nursing homes and other commercial living spaces where occupants will want either heating or cooling at the same time. In all cases the system runs quietly, for a comfortable, productive environment.

The disconnects or circuit breakers may also be located without panels in a Group 2 key-secured
room identified and dedicated to elevator apparatus only, and in all cases must be capable of being locked in the open position with a lock that cannot be removed from the devices or panel(s). FOR DRIVE IN HOISTWAY CONFIGURATION ONLY: Electrical contractor to supply an additional lockable auxiliary non-fused disconnect in the hoistway at the location of the drive (motor controller), along with wiring from the main disconnect to the auxiliary disconnect (see also NEC NFPA 70 - 2008 req. 620.51[C]{1}). This disconnect must also be lockable in the open position with a secured lock that cannot be removed from the device.
Control spaces (When specified in lieu of an Inspection and Test Panel, a partial or full body entry space/room shall be provided.)15. Enclosed and protected control space at top landing adjacent to the hoistway wall closest to the
elevator hoist machine. Two-hour fire rating of control space walls or rating to meet applicable local codes.
16. Provide fire-rated, self-closing, self-locking door. Door must be capable of opening 180 degrees for access to control space.
17. 42” (1067 mm) minimum clear space is required in hallway in front of control space door and top hoistway entrance for service barriers. Additional hallway width may be required, subject to local building, fire and ADA codes.
18. The temperature in front of the control space must be maintained between 32° F (0° C) and 104° F (40° C) and less than 95% relative humidity, non-condensing, for proper operation of equipment.
19. Disconnects for each elevator must be provided per National Electrical Code (NFPA No. 70) and located inside the elevator control space.
Other wiring20. Suitable copper feeder, ground and branch wiring circuits for signal system and power operated
door. Feeder and branch wiring circuits for car light and fan.21. Telephone outlet provided at the inspection and test panel or in control closet (where applicable).22. All conduit and wire runs remote from either the control space or hoistways (if required).23. Heat, smoke or products of combustion-sensing devices connected to elevator control space
terminals when such devices are required.
Emergency provisions24. Elevator Firefighter’s and other emergency services, depending on height of the building or num-
ber of landings, per ASME A17.1 Rule 2.27.3 and local codes.25. Elevator Firefighter’s and other emergency services’ wiring and interconnections to automatic
sprinkler systems or heat and smoke-sensing devices furnished by others.26. When emergency/standby power operation of elevators is required, the Electrical Contractor
should coordinate with Schindler for operation requirements.27. Provisions for earthquake protection, dictated by building code, are required in various sections
of the country.
Entrances28. Hoistway walls must have a fire rating per ASME A17.1 Rule 2.1.1.1.29. Furnishing, installing and maintaining the required fire rating of elevator hoistway walls,
including the control spaces and also the penetration of fire wall by elevator fixture boxes (if applicable), is not the responsibility of the elevator contractor.
30. The interface of the elevator wall with the hoistway entrance assembly shall be in strict compliance with the elevator contractor’s requirements.
