INTRODUCTION

Vancouver Island University's Facility Performance Specifications highlight important procedures and requirements for capital projects, with the objective of maximizing quality and value by ensuring uniformity, compatibility and maintainability. The purpose of the Performance Specifications is to provide general direction to the projects design and construction; to ensure quality and consistency in the building design and to outline which products, systems and methods of construction are acceptable to the institution. These specifications are also intended to promote suitable design and to discourage design which causes confusion and conflict. Consultants are encouraged to propose cost effective variations that meet or exceed these standards within a project. The specified applicable elements [within these guidelines] shall be incorporated into the final design of all projects to ensure a valuable, uniform, physical environment for Vancouver Island University. These guidelines are not intended to restrict the design and construction process, nor do they relieve the designers and contractors from their professional responsibility of complying with the applicable codes, standards or project specific requirements; but rather they are a framework for decision making.

The Performance Specifications are intended to outline the products, systems and methods of construction which are acceptable and preferred in the design and development of all Vancouver Island University facilities. The objective is to promote quality and consistency in specified components, based on experience and precedent, to achieve maximum value for both the university and the community it serves. The Performance Specifications specifically target products and procedures, including: finishes, fixtures, equipment, hardware and other similar components. Specific product design criteria, installation methods, quality assurance measures and maintenance requirements are also detailed in this document. The Performance Specifications work together with the Design Guidelines – which provide general direction and parameters for facility design through established design criteria – to ensure quality and consistency in building design and to maximize quality and value by ensuring uniformity, compatibility and maintainability.

3. Bolting down requirements

4. Future equipment changes would be restricted due to vulnerability of new cut holes or service chases interfering with integrity of slab reinforcements.

5. Vibration and noise transmission.

6. Broom finish is recommended for all exterior walkways. It has been the University’s experience that exposed aggregate concrete finishing is difficult for cleaning and snow removal.

7. Ensure adequate control joints are incorporated to control cracking with careful attention to corners or walls, columns, and material transitions.

8. All exposed concrete walls must use a reveal pattern (to match surrounding design) to coordinate and hide concrete form panel joints.

2. MAINTENANCE 1. The use of exposed sloped concrete walls and roofs, in particular with bush

hammered or sandblasted surfaces, should be avoided due to the following:

2. Water penetration.

3. Collected ice resulting in spilling.

4. Accumulation of surface dirt or moss.

5. Extensive maintenance.

6. Were practical, consideration should be given to the use of sloped walkways (with non‐slip finish) instead of steps to facilitate easier snow removal also to provide wheelchair accessibility.

7. All concrete walls to be properly sealed.




17

2. EXECUTION

1. INSTALLATION 1. Where suspended concrete structural slabs abut to concrete slabs on grade, a

control expansion joint must be provided, normally by a metal expansion joint, in order to reduce unsightly cracks, which could even crack through ceramic tile work.




18

03 30 53 WATERPROOFING

1. GENERAL

1. MAINTENANCE 1. Under the work of Section 03 30 00 (Cast‐in‐Place Concrete) where the tie holes

do not form part of the reveal design, grout fill form tie holes, honeycombing, etc. prior to application of waterproofing (or dampproofing).

2. All concrete walls must be properly sealed.




19

03 35 00 CONCRETE FINISHING

1. GENERAL

1. DESIGN 1. Consider needs of disabled. Ensure proper tactile warning design as per code.

2. Make non‐slip in traffic areas. Broom finish is recommended for all exterior walkways. It has been the University’s experience that exposed aggregate concrete finish is difficult for cleaning and snow removal and is to be avoided.

3. Ensure adequate control joints are incorporated to control cracking with careful attention to corners or walls, columns, and material transitions.

4. All unfinished floor surfaces (surfaces not receiving a floor covering) to be sealed

2. QUALITY ASSURANCE 1. Avoid non‐texture finishing on external work, resulting in differential

colouration or variation of workmanship.




20

03 35 13 HIGH TOLERANCE CONCRETE FLOORING

1. GENERAL

1. QUALITY ASSURANCE 1. All unfinished floor surfaces (surfaces not receiving a floor covering) to be

sealed.




21

Contractors Association (B.C./Yukon Chapter).

2. QUALITY ASSURANCE 1. Exterior concrete block work and brickwork to be properly sealed.

2. Masonry cleaning (new construction) should be clearly specified and responsibilities clearly defined during warranty period.

3. Provide extra stock of brick for any later minor repair work.




24

05 51 33 METAL FABRICATIONS

1. GENERAL

1. DESIGN 1. Provide access to main roof area via internal stair entering on to roof.

2. Provide metal stair complete with handrail to access any secondary roof(s) from main roof.

6. Unless specified otherwise, design all shelving to be adjustable.

7. Adjustable shelving to be designed and installed with recessed (not surface mounted) standards and notched shelving to accept shelving clips (for seismic restraint).

8. Use of particleboard is prohibited.

2. MAINTENANCE MATERIALS 1. Provide 2% extra stock of plastic laminates of each colour and finish to match

for future maintenance work.

4. Use continuous solid surface counter tops in washrooms.




27

07 24 00 EXTERIOR INSULATION AND FINISH ASSEMBLY

1. GENERAL

1. QUALITY ASSURANCE 1. Quality control of this work must be considered due to proliferation of new

firms and applicators on the market.

6. All wood blocking and panel materials shall be pressure preservative treated.

2. EXECUTION 1. In addition to broad requirements for protection of building occupants and existing

buildings and site improvements, Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to protect building occupants from fumes and other hazards associated with the roofing work.
