Executive Summary 1


Executive Summary

The Civil Engineering department at the University of Arkansas faces three challenges over the coming decade.

1. Providing a facility that will allow research faculty to aggressively pursue available

funding and grants related to material testing

2. Planning for anticipated growth in the department

3. Consolidate research labs that are currently spread across three facilities on three

separate campuses.

The construction of the new Civil Engineering Research & Education Center will allow all civil engineering research and training disciplines to be located with-in one complex and accommodate departmental growth from 275 to 350 undergraduates and from 30 to 75 researchers. In addition, the new structural high-bay facility will allow for testing of full-scale structural elements, such as beams and girders for buildings and bridges will allow the research faculty to pursue grants that had not been previously possible to pursue.

The Research & Education Center will be located at the Arkansas Research & Technology Park (ARTP). This development will further strengthen the presence of the university at this satellite location and progress the university’s master plan for the ARTP.

Through a series of workshops that included dialog with the various Civil Engineering user groups and Facilities Management Planning Group, the Design Team listened, tested, bench marked, and verifi ed information. This Programming Document summarizes the results of that process and moving forward will serve as a benchmark against which to measure the development of the project throughout its future phases.

Publication of the Programming Document represents the culmination of the Program Phase of the project and lays the groundwork for the Schematic Design Phase. The goal of this phase is to confi rm the programming needs of all concerned parties; to present a detailed, clear, and cogent summary and analysis of those needs; and to illustrate an understanding of the larger project issues and goals. In addition to the traditional programming elements, this document includes a Conceptual Design aid in visualization and bridging to the Schematic Design Phase.


Project Description & Vision 2


Project Description & Vision

Program Vision

The Civil Engineering Research & Education Center will allow all civil engineering research and training disciplines to be located with-in one complex and accommodate departmental growth from 275 to 350 undergraduates and from 30 to 75 researchers.

The new facility is anticipated to be constructed in three phases. The fi rst phase will include a structural high-bay with a strong fl oor and lay-down yard, concrete and steel materials labs, a fabrication shop, various geotechnical labs, and faculty support spaces. The second phase will include a number of asphalt testing labs and the third phase will include laboratory, classroom and certifi cation spaces for the Center for Training Transportation Professionals (CTTP).

Site and Capacity

The Research & Education Center will be located at the Arkansas Research & Technology Park (ARTP). The ARTP is located on the northwest corner of the W. Cato Springs Road and S. School Ave. intersection in Fayetteville, Arkansas. A series of possible sites in accordance with the university’s master plan for the ARTP were analyzed based on overall building and lay-down yard size requirements and vehicular access. As a result, site (3)three , which lies on the western half of the ARTP as indicated below, was chosen. Additional site analysis and information can be found in chapter 3, Site Analysis.

Approximate Site Area

Required*: 70,000 SF1.6 acres

*Includes: Building Area, Boneyard (lay-down yard), and Delivery Drives

Design Narratives | ArchitecturalArchitectural Material Selection Criteria

The application and use of exterior and interior materials will be closely analyzed andevaluated by the design team in consultation with Facilities Management. The appropriatematerials will be selected based on the following criteria:• Durability• Quality• Sustainability• Maintenance• Appropriateness to existing campus• Cost• Aesthetics

Architectural Expression and Materials Considerations

The exterior envelope for the Civil Engineering Research and Education Center will use appropriate materials that not only respond to the existing Arkansas Research and Technology Park (ARTP) campus and region but achieve the desired architectural presence for the facility based on University of Arkansas campus design standards and the ARTP planning study and master plan. The selected materials will complement and enhance the existing campus language of steel, glass, and metal elements. Materials will be in muted tones to reinforce the

look and feel of the ARTP, without being conspicuous. Glass, including storefront and curtain wall systems, and energy effi cient translucent wall panels will be utilized to achieve the desired visibility, day-lighting and transparency, as appropriate for the particular area to highlight the function of the building and emphasize entrances and circulation. Metal louvers will be utilized to provide sun shading. Metal wall panels will be utilized to wrap the building envelope in the classroom and offi ces areas of the building. Precast concrete panels will be utilized for increased durability on the exterior in areas of heavy machinery operation. A human scale and integration of student, faculty, and staff use will be addressed, to forward the goal of a quality University of Arkansas research and education. The interior will include an open steel structure to emphasize the function of the structures laboratory. Interior fi nishes and materials will be commercial quality, durable, cost-eff ective, and easily maintained to respond to the use while conveying an aesthetic sensibility and referencing the building’s exterior and the environment.

Design Narratives | CivilUtilities

An existing 8-inch water main is located just north of the site. Approximate static water pressure in the area is calculated to be approximately 150 psi. It is currently anticipated that this main can be accessed for a water line extension and/or loop around the facility for domestic water and fi re protection.

Existing utilities along Cato Springs Road include a 6-inch water main, an 8-inch sanitary sewer main, a gas main, and three-phase electric lines. The existing residential area (to be purchased by the university and demolished) is served by service lines extending from the mains along Cato Springs Road. It is anticipated that these service lines will be abandoned to allow development on the property south of the proposed CVEG site. Based on available records, it is possible to extend a new sewer main north from Cato Springs Road to serve the site (parallel to the future street construction.)

In addition, based on available records, three-phase underground electric and gas is available at the existing Hazardous Materials Site to the east. It is anticipated that fi ber may be run from the existing Engineering Research Center (ENRC) unless connection can be made to the OSP Loop just east of the Hazardous Materials Site.


Site Access Roads

As shown in the adjacent fi gure, the University’s current master plan for the technology park illustrates proposed streets on three sides of the site with a plaza (for vehicles and pedestrians) on the south side. At this time, it is unknown whether or not the University will receive assistance from the city of Fayetteville to construct any of the future streets. For the purposes of this study, it is projected that at least one north/south street will be required from Cato Springs Road to serve the new CVEG facility. The facility may receive deliveries from large tractor-trailer trucks, and a loop around the site is ideal. However, for budgetary planning purposes one possible “Phase I” alternative is shown in the fi gure below. This would require approximately 700 linear feet of 30-foot wide (back of curb to back of curb) street construction plus a turnaround area near the truck entrance. This turnaround may need to extend into the area north of the Hazardous Materials facility and could include parking if necessary. An additional/alternative drive could also be constructed by paving/extending the existing gravel drive from the east. Phase I parking may also be constructed in the plaza area, and parallel spaces will be available on the street (spaces are included in the 30-foot width.) It is also pertinent to note that additional fi re lanes may be required by the fi re Marshall, and more discussion with the Fire Marshall will be necessary to determine extent of any fi re lanes.

Although a soil investigation and detailed design will be necessary to provide a pavement design, for budgetary purposes the following section is projected, which is typical for a local street in the area:• Two feet of undercut/replacement of select fi ll for subgrade• 10” Compacted Granular Base Course (AHTD Class 7 ABC)• 3” Asphalt

General Grading Discussion

Approximate existing site contours are shown below. As the fi gure illustrates, the site is relatively fl at and earthwork is expected to be minimal. It is anticipated that storm drainage will be conveyed directly to the creek located east of the site via sheet fl ow where possible. No detention is anticipated, but Low Impact Development measures will be implemented where practical to reduce and/or slow stormwater runoff .

Design Narratives | StructuralIntroduction

The following narrative describes the structural design criterion and proposed structural framing systems for the New Civil Engineering Research Center to be constructed in the Technology Park south of the main campus at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas. This new facility is anticipated to be a single story High-Bay structure with a below grade basement structure. Adjacent to the High-Bay structure, one and/or two story construction is anticipated.

Design Narratives | StructuralStructural Systems

Roof FramingThe roof framing system will likely consist of 1½” deep galvanized steel roof decking supported by conventional K- and/or LH-series open web steel joists spaced at a maximum of 6 feet on center. Additional framing will be provided as required for any fans or minor equipment located on the roof. These open web steel joists will be supported by conventional structural steel wide fl ange beams and columns.

High-Bay Structures LaboratoryThe cast-in-place concrete strong fl oor slab shall have a minimum thickness of 3’-0” and shall be heavily reinforced to support 100 kip reaction points located at 3’-0” on center in each direction. This fl oor structure shall span between basement tunnel walls allowing for a clear height of 8’-0” below the strong fl oor. Two 25-ton overhead bridge cranes, with a minimum hook height of 35’-0”, are anticipated to be installed above the structures lab to facilitate the movement of test specimens and loading frames. The building superstructure is anticipated to be comprised of structural steel wide fl ange columns and beams.

Elevated Floor Framing Elevated fl oor framing will likely consist of 4½” of normal weight cast-in-place concrete supported by 2” deep galvanized steel composite fl oor decking, supported by conventional structural steel wide fl ange beams and columns. In mechanical rooms, we anticipate 4” cast-in-place concrete housekeeping pads to be located on top of the structural slab to support mechanical equipment that is to be isolated from the structure for vibrations.

Phase II and Phase III Construction Architectural material selection is still preliminary for these buildings, but we anticipate the lab spaces to utilize CMU wall construction, which may be used as load bearing elements if the plan confi guration allows. Structural steel beam and column framing may also be utilized in concert with the CMU construction or as the primary framing system to allow for future fl exibility if the program needs change and spaces require reconfi guration.

Lateral Load Resisting SystemLateral loads due to wind and seismic will likely be transferred to the foundation level using conventional structural steel concentrically loaded braced frames designed as “Steel Systems Not Specifi cally Detailed for Seismic Resistance” as defi ned by ASCE 7 and the governing building code. Steel bracing systems off er an effi cient and economical solution for resisting lateral loads but also present challenges to the design team locating these frames throughout the building while attempting to accommodate the architectural layout.

Ground Floor LevelThe ground fl oor level is anticipated to be a conventional normal weight cast-in-place concrete slab-on-grade over a vapor retarder on a granular base material over a prepared subgrade of low volume change material. Required subgrade preparation will be determined based on the borings taken on the site and the subsequent recommendations off ered in the geotechnical investigation report. The slab-on-grade will likely be 5-inches thick, reinforced with welded wire reinforcing or synthetic macro fi ber reinforcement such as WR Grace’s Strux 90/40 (or an equivalent product). FoundationsA geotechnical investigation and subsequent foundation recommendations are not currently available for the site.

Clearwater waste from air handling units, coolers, and other devices and equipment that discharge clearwater will be conveyed by gravity fl ow through a separate piping system and will connect to the building storm system.

Drain points that cannot drain by gravity grade will fl ow into a sump with duplex sump pumps. Each pump will be sized for 100% of the load and can run at the same time. The pumps will be connected to the emergency (standby) power system. The piping for the storm and clearwater drainage system will be cast iron with hub and spigot joints below grade and no-hub joints above grade.

Sub-Soil Drainage

A sub-soil drainage system will convey groundwater from exterior footing, interior footing, underslab to a sump as determined by the Geotechnical Report. The effl uent will be pumped into the building storm drainage system and routed to grade.

Subsoil drainage systems will be drained by gravity to a sump for each building and will be pumped into the building storm drainage system. Each sump will consist of duplex sump pumps sized for 100% of the estimated design fl ow. Sump pumps will be connected to the emergency (standby) power system to permit operation during a loss of normal power.

Subsoil drainage piping, will be PVC perforated piping with solvent cement socket joints with fi lter socks.

Sanitary Waste and Vent

A sanitary waste and vent system will be provided for all plumbing fi xtures and other devices that produce sanitary waste. Plumbing fi xtures will be drained by gravity through conventional soil, waste and vent stacks, building drains and building sewers to the site sanitary sewer. Sanitary wastes which cannot discharge to the sewer by gravity fl ow will be drained by gravity to duplex sewage ejectors and will be pumped into the sanitary drainage system. The sump pump system serving the High-Bay will have its own oil interceptor to prevent any pump hydraulic fl uid from entering the sanitary system.

The piping for the sanitary drainage system will be cast iron with hub and spigot joints below grade and no-hub joints above grade.

Domestic Water System

Domestic water will be provided to all toilet room fi xtures, laboratory spaces, electric water coolers, sinks, emergency shower/eyewash units, and any other devices that require a domestic water supply. Hot water at 120°F will be provided to all fi xtures and devices that require hot water. The emergency fi xtures (showers and eyewashes) will be supplied with local mixing valve to supply tepid water.

A water meter will be provided on each building service entrance. The water meter will be sized for the building’s maximum design fl ow rate. The High-Bay building is estimated to be 150 gallons per minute. The smaller building is estimated to be 50 gallons per minute. The building’s water system will be isolated from the municipal water system by a duplex reduced pressure backfl ow preventer located downstream of the water meter. A water pressure booster pump is not anticipated at this time. A water fl ow test is needed to validate our assumption. Domestic hot water in the main building will be produced by duplex natural gas-fi red storage water heaters. Each water heater will be sized for 75% of the total load. Domestic hot water for the smaller building will be produced by a simplex natural gas-fi re storage water heater. The hot water system temperature will be maintained by recirculating the hot water through a continuous loop with an in-line circulating pump. Duplex alternating water softeners will be installed ahead of the water heaters.

The piping for the domestic hot and cold water will be type L copper tube with wrought copper fi ttings and soldered joints. Hot and cold water piping will be insulated.

Equipment Spaces

Telecommunications Room (TR) placement must be located to keep individual cabling lengths less than 90 meters in length. There should be at least one TR located on each fl oor of the facility to ensure this cable length requirement is satisfi ed. Each TR requires minimum inside dimensions of 10 feet by 11 feet and should be positioned with direct access from a public corridor. One of the TR’s should also serve as a Building Entrance Facility (BEF) which accommodates incoming Fiber Optic and Copper Communication Cables to the facility. This BEF/TR must be located and operational in Phase 1. If the BEF cannot be located on the side of the building near the existing campus Fiber Optic Hut, a small wall fi eld within the MEP rooms may be required to ground any copper communications cables and to provide service access for this entry point to the facility. Should station cable distance limits be exceeded from TR to any outlets in the corner of the High-Bay, a small wall mounted communication rack may be required (pending University approval) in mezzanine storage or similar space. This would serve as a mii TR.

Each TR requires dedicated power and cooling services, and the associated fan coil units which will provide the room cooling cannot be mounted within the TR itself. It would be helpful to locate the TRs adjacent to a utility room or other space type where the fan coil units will have above ceiling mounting space outside and adjacent to the TRs.

Space for security control panels and building automation control panels must be provided separately from the TRs. Only systems maintained and controlled (or directly related) to University of Arkansas are allowed in the TRs. Exception would be the BEF which would have space for incoming Fiber Optic and Copper Communication cables.

Potential future horizontal expansion should be considered when programming room locations.

Incoming Services

A concrete encased duct bank containing Four (4) 4” conduits will be provided from the existing Fiber Optic Communications Building just East of the Facility to the new BEF.

An additional Four (4) 4” conduits should also be provided in a concrete encased duct bank from the existing Communications Building and stubbed just West of the Facility for campus expansion. This may share the same duct bank as the facility for a portion of the route.

Duct Banks should route around the perimeter of the building and not underneath, except where needed to route to the BEF. The BEF should be located near building’s exterior to minimize under fl oor raceway.

Structured Cabling

Primary distribution within the Facility will use fi ber optic and copper backbone cabling to connect incoming services to each of the TRs from the BEF/TR. Individual voice, data, wireless access points service drops within the Facility will use Category 6A rated copper cabling to support speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Ethernet connections will also be provided at MTS head Ends. Assumption is there will be at least four of MTS connections. Active Electronics, wireless set up confi guration will be provided by the University. General convenience wall phones should be anticipated throughout the facility.

Detailed locations and sizes of these boxes and pathways will be as directed by the Campus Security Offi ce as program develops. Project documents will provide pathway only. Head End equipment and devices will be provided by The University.

All exterior doors, including overhead, will be controlled by Card Readers. MEPT rooms will not be controlled by Card readers. CCTV cameras will be required within the High-Bay space.


Design Narratives | Fire Protection

Wet Pipe Sprinkler System

The building will be protected throughout with hydraulically calculated sprinkler systems, which except for special protection needs, will be wet pipe systems. All areas of the building will be protected per NFPA 13, including electrical rooms (i.e. switchgear rooms, transformer rooms, generator rooms, electrical closets, and similar rooms), loading docks, stair towers, exterior canopies, and mechanical rooms. The sprinkler system for the building will be designed and installed in accordance with NFPA 13. All systems will be hydraulically calculated with a computer calculation program using the Hazen-Williams method.

The piping for the wet pipe sprinkler system will be black steel. Piping 2” and smaller in size will be Schedule 40 with threaded joints. Piping larger than 2” will be Schedule 10 or Schedule 40 with welded fi ttings or roll groove couplings. The type of sprinkler heads installed in a particular area will be selected by the Engineer and the Project Architect. Generally, concealed sprinklers will be installed in areas having suspended ceilings. Pendent or upright sprinklers will be installed in areas without ceilings. Sidewall sprinklers will be provided only when other types cannot be utilized. Areas subject to temperatures below 40°F will be protected by dry sprinklers when possible. If dry sprinklers cannot be provided, then a dry pipe sprinkler system will be installed. A glycol antifreeze system will not be an option to dry sprinklers or a dry pipe system.

The Mixing/Compaction/Testing room and general mechanical rooms will be protected using ultra high temperature-rated sprinkler heads.
