SCHEMATIC DESIGN REPORT: NEW STUDENT RESIDENCE HALL4

Open Space

By analyzing the site through a series of diagrams and site visits, theteam made several observations about the site. The site diagrams cre-ated during this process informed the design of the project through

schematic design.

The following observations were made:

Most of the access to the site occurs and is projected to occuralong cedar street and 10th street.

Primary access to the site occurs near the southeast corner.

The site is central to the resident life area of campus, and 10th is amajor portal for student traffic.

The site has an opportunity to contribute to the open/green spacein the area, preferably along 10th.

In terms of connection to campus, the southeast corner is mostproximate to the campus heart.

The site has opportunity to contribute to identity (campus as wellas resident life), especially along cedar and the southeast corner ofthe site.

ARCHITECTURAL NARRATIVE

Location and Context

The project site is located north of Cedar Street and flanked by North 10thStreet and North 11th Street. A parking lot is currently for use on the site.

The site is adjacent to Dryden and Louise Anderson Hall to the east, Streeterand Morrison to the north and Pearce and Dressler to the southwest. TheUniversity Recreation Center (URC) is directly south across Cedar with a majorpedestrian wall along the east side of the URC. The central location to existing

residence halls, pedestrian traffic and campus utilities makes the site an excel-lent choice for the new Residence Hall and Residence Life Office.

Site Plan

The New Residence Hal l has been placed on the site to maximize the natural

sunlight into the southeast facing resultant courtyard, to create a sense ofplace, to provide connection to the Recreation Center pedestrian wall, and tobe welcoming to both residents of the building as well as residents of neigh-

boring residence halls. The courtyard, while being a whole space, providesfor three distinct zones; a forecourt adjacent to the entrance and lobby, acentral lawn extending as a rectangle from Cedar Street culminating with the

Front Porch to the north. The third zone is the entrance and enclosure whichwill be more organic in nature, with trees creating this sense of enclosurewhile being sparse enough not to be a barrier. Walkways have been defined

to be a response to major pedestrian movement across the site, with the widthof each walkway being scaled to respond to the amount of pedestrian move-ment anticipated. The 11th Street site area will be more utilitarian providing

for dumpster and service related functions. Drop off areas have been cre-

ated on both Cedar Street and 11th Street. Landscaping will be designed forbeauty, practicality, and ease of maintenance. Thin st rips of green space along

10th and elsewhere will be planted with ground cover to minimize mainte-nance. Sidewalk, forecourt and terrace materials will be selected to facilitatesnow removal. ADA parking spaces will be provided as required.

Building Organization

The proposed New Student Res idence Hall i s a five story building forming asoutheast facing courtyard or green. The ground foor is devoted to more pub-

lic functions and includes the main entrance and lobby, desk and office space,a commons or great room, seminar, residence life offices, resident directorapartment, guest suite, bicycle storage, servery, general storage and mechani-cal/electrical space. Providing a transition between interior commons and

the exterior courtyard, a highlight of the residence hall, is a continuous southfacing porch. The creation of community and student interaction at everyopportunity is enhanced by the design, both inside and out. Another feature

of the ground floor is a possible caf with associated terrace. This caf will notonly provide an amenity for the residents of this new residence hall, but islocated such that it will attract students from neighboring residence halls and

also reach out to the larger EWU community.

Floors 2-5 are student living floors and provide for a total of 356 beds includ-

ing predominately traditional doubles, some triples, and CA singles. A typi-cal floor is organized with a central core that includes the elevators, a centralcommunity social lounge with kitchen, a laundry, and two distinct residential

neighborhoods. Each of the two residential neighborhoods provides, in ad-dition to student rooms, a designated social lounge, a study lounge, centralbathrooms, a gaming room, recycle and trash room, and a janitors closet.

These neighborhoods are configured such that they could be broken intosmaller living groups if desired at some point in the future, allowing for flex-ibility.

The corridors are designed to be 8-0 wide to create a more open feeling thatwill allow opportunities for interaction and occasional seating. This corridor

will enhance community and in essence be a room rather than just a meansof circulating through the building.


22/44


Exterior Character

The architectural vocabular y of the building harkens back to the historicfabric of the original campus, while also incorporating modern elements to

be respectful of the more modern campus. This sensitive approach hopefullysuggests a philosophy and pallet for the design of future residential buildingsto be constructed on the EWU campus.

The overall massing of the building with its pitched roof, strong pediments,punched windows with cast stone sills, cast stone copings, belt coursing, watertables, rusticated brick base, chimneys, dormers and other appointments are

traditional in nature. The exterior articulation of lounges are a little moremodern in nature, are more glassy and create beacons of light that will wel-come students home when returning from the academic core of the campus.

The Front Porch furthers this design approach by translat ing traditionalporch/portico elements, columns and entablatures, in a new way, making itspecial and progressive.

The material pallet includes brick, cast stone, metal panels, high profile asphaltroof shingles and glass.

Interior Character

The residence hall will incorporate extensive use of natural daylight that willpenetrate into the corridors of the building. Windows will be placed strategi-cally at the ends of corridors to further the feeling of openness and views to

the exterior.

The interior finishes will be warm and residential in nature and wi ll exude a

feeling of being residential. Wood will be used for doors, student room fur-niture, and features within the building. Corridor carpeting will be patternedand be more hospitality like in nature, adding color and excitement as one

circulates though the building. The finishes will also be selected to be durableand easily maintained, supporting an atmosphere that encourages socialinteraction that promotes relationships between students, staff, parents and

community.

This commons will be flexible and wi ll allow for a living room set up, a lectureor presentation mode, and also be able to provide tables for dining functions.

Adjacent storage will facilitate these different arrangements. This space willinclude a retractable screen and provision for a future A/V system.

Interior lighting will be selected to be highlight, create rhythm, and provide forsafety.

The lobby will provide a variety of seating arrangements, a front desk that

will be both functional and welcoming and a feature wall that could include aplace for circulating art.

Acoustics will be designed appropriately throughout and will maintain asound transmission rating as designated by the team acoustical consultantbetween student rooms.

The organization of spaces wi ll provide a safe, secure environment that isuniversally accessible with clear zoning and building systems that optimize

energy performance and encourage student understanding of sustainability.The new residence hal l will meet, at a minimum, LEED Silver requirements.

STRUCTURAL NARRATIVE

The following design narrative provides a gene ral overview of the s tructuraldesign including design loads, performance criteria, system descriptions, and

material specifications.

Project Overview

The project consists of a residence hall with related common and supportspaces to house 350 students. Total size of the project is approximately

105,000 square feet. The building will be constructed as a podium structure.This type of struc ture utilizes bearing walls for the upper floors which aresupported by a cast-in-place transfer slab over the bottom floor. Anticipated

construction is light gauge steel bearing walls, joists and trusses. Wood bear-ing walls, joists and trusses could also be used.

Structural Framing

Roof Framing System:

Roof framing consists of 9/16 deep metal roof deck supported by prefabri-

cated light gauge steel trusses at 24 on center. Light gauge stud bearing wallswill support the trusses at the exterior and corridor walls.

An attic mechanical space will be created in five areas of the building to allowfor mechanical units. The attic mechanical space will consist of a 1 concretetopping on metal deck supported by the bottom chord of the truss.

Floor Framing System:

The floor framing for the upper four floors consists of a 1 concrete topping onmetal deck supported by light gauge steel C joists. Light gauge stud bear-ing walls will support the joists at the exterior and corridor walls. A shallower

C joist will be used over the corridors to provide space for mechanical andelectrical systems. A floor framing plan of a typical floor area is provided.


24/44


To provide more open area and future flexibili ty on the lower floor, the bearingwalls for the upper four floors will be supported on a 12 deep cast-in-place,

post-tensioned transfer slab. The slab will be supported by 14 square concretecolumns spaced at a maximum of 30 feet on center. In the common areas,

which require a column free space exceeding 30 feet, the post-tensioned slabwill be increased to 20 deep by 5-0 wide at each column line. Ten inch thickconcrete walls at the exterior and around the stairs and elevators will alsoprovide support for the transfer slab.

Wall Framing System:

Interior and exterior bearing walls consist of 6 deep, light gauge C studsat 24 on center and aligned with the location of the joists and trusses beingsupported. Exterior masonry veneer will be anchored to the stud walls to resist

wind and earthquake forces perpendicular to the face of veneer. Veneer canbe self supporting for its weight up to 30 feet above the transfer slab at theeaves and up to 38 feet above the transfer slab at the gable roof ends. Mason-

ry veneer above these heights will be supported by galvanized ledger anglessupported by non-combustible framing. The ledger angle could be attachedto steel studs; if wood framing is used, an independent steel support system

would be required to support the ledger angle.

Foundations:

Conventionally reinforced spread and continuous footings will support thebuilding. Isolated concrete pad footings will support interior and exterior col-

umns. A continuous concrete foundation wall and footing will link the exterior

pad footings and provide a frost depth wall on which to bear the exteriorstuds and finishes. Due to the sloping site, a portion of the lower level will be

built partially below grade simi lar to a daylight basement. A 10 concrete wallsupported on a continuous concrete footing will be used to retain the earthon the north and east sides of the building.

A geotechnical engineering evaluation of the site has been prepared by Geo-Engineers, Inc. Per the geotechnical report, existing on site soils are unsuitable

for direct support of building foundations. Geopiers will be used to improvethe on site soils so that conventional footings can be used. Alternatively,

driven piles could be used in groups to support the foundations.

The floor slab will be four inches thick and reinforced to minimize shrinkagecracking. The subgrade will be prepared in accordance with the geotechnical

engineers recommendations.

Lateral Force Resisting System:

At the upper floors, wind and earthquake forces will be resisted by steel sheetor plywood shear walls. Shear wall sheathing will be provided on one side of

most of the corridor walls and on one or both sides of partition walls betweenresident rooms and common spaces. Shear wall sheathing on partition wallsbetween adjacent resident rooms will be limited to allow for future flexibility

in relocating partition walls. Shear wall sheathing will also be provided onwalls at the elevators and stairs and some of the exterior walls. Overturningforces will be resisted by an anchor tie system consisting of steel rods from the

podium slab to the roof. Metal deck roof and floor diaphragms will distributethe lateral loads to the shear walls.

Below the cast-in-place slab, wind and earthquake forces will be resisted byconcrete shear walls at the perimeter and around the stairs and elevators.The cast-in-place slab will distr ibute the lateral loads from the upper levels to

these shear walls.

MECHANICAL NARRATIVE

Plumbing Fixtures

Toilet room water closets, urinals and lavatories will be constructed ofcommercial grade vitreous china. Water closets in public and community

bathing rooms will be wall hung. Commercial grade flush valves will be utilized at water closets and urinals

throughout. Sensor operated, battery power operated flush valves willbe used at all water closets and urinals except those within private living

units. Hands free sensor operated electric (battery operated) faucets with inte-

gral thermostatic mixing controls will be provided on public toilet room

lavatories but not at lavatories located within private living units or atlavatories within bathing/shower areas. Lavatory traps and supplies willbe insulated per ADA requirements.

Sinks will be stainless steel, with single lever faucets of cast brass con-struction.

Custodial sinks will be provided with wall faucet and lever handles. Drinking fountains will have water filtered. Water Conservation: The following items will be reviewed by the design

team and Eastern Washington University for Water Conservation and

Long Term Campus Standardization /Maintenance considerations: Dualflush (1.6/1.0 GPF) water closets, ultra-low flow water closets (1.28 GPF),pint flow urinals, and 1.5 GPM showers. Lavatory faucets will deliver 0.5

GPM. Grey and black water reclamation are not being considered at thistime due to budget restraints and increased maintenance.

Domestic Water Distribution

A single water service (4 estimated size) will be provided to the buildingfrom the water main that parallels the west side of the building.

Double check valve backflow prevention assemblies will be provided inthe plumbing utility room.

Water pressures on campus are generous (80-90 psi static pressure range).

As customary on EWU campus buildings, pressure reducing stations havenot historically been provided on the water service.

A domestic hot, hot water recirculation, and cold water distribution

system will be provided throughout the building. Hot water will be pro-duced and stored at 140 degrees. Water will be mixed at a blending valveto 120 degrees and recirculated throughout the building.

Two options for water heaters should be analyzed for their life cycle costsand energy saving potential.

o Option #1: Campus Standard-instantaneous steam to hot water.This approach capitalizes on the campus steam network with

high quality heat exchangers. The fuel efficiency at the sourcefor using steam from the campus natural gas fired boilers is ex-pected to be no more than 70% efficient.

o Option 2-high efficiency gas fired water heaters. These water

heaters with sealed combustion have efficiencies that approach96%. This approach would utilize natural gas at the building fordomestic hot water and would reduce fuel costs and emissions.

Valves will be provided at all branch take-offs to individual fixture groupsand at the base of vertical risers. Zone valves will also be provided.Balancing valves will be placed in return loops at connections of the hot

water piping Materials

o Water Piping (above grade): Copper type L o Gas Piping (above grade): Black steel, schedule 40

Sanitary Waste System

Sewer service will exit the west side of the building and connect to thesewer line that parallels the west side of the building. Piping will exitthe building with either (2) 6 waste or (1) 8 waste line depending upon

inverts of connection points in the street. A gravity sanitary drainage system will be provided to serve all plumb-

ing fixtures and equipment. Sanitary waste lines will be routed to new

connection points provided by the civil engineer within five feet of the

building exterior. Materials

o Drain, Waste, Vent Piping (above grade) : Cast Iron o Waste Piping (below grade): PVC, ABS

Rainwater Drainage System

Gravity primary and overflow storm drainage system with interior roofdrain leaders is not anticipated with the pitched roof construction. Rain

harvesting will not be provided due to limited amount of rain in EasternWashington.

HVAC Systems

Acoustics

Recommendations for the project acoustician will be strictly adhered to.This includes allowable noise levels for me chanical equipment as well as

required pipe and duct penetration isolation between living units.

Outdoor Design Conditions

Heating Systems shall be sized for the ASHRAE median of extremes for

Cheney, Washington which is -9F. Cooling systems shall be sized for the ASHRAE 0.1% design condition

temperature for Cheney, Washington which is 99F dry bulb and 69F wet

bulb.

Indoor Design Conditions

Cooling is not provided in the bedrooms of the housing unit. Cooling isprovided in the social areas, the lower level apartments, and the lower

level regularly occupied spaces (office, meeting rooms, etc). In cooling mode, the occupied spaces with air conditioning shall be

designed to control to 74 to 76F during occupied mode. Telecommuni-cation rooms will control to 68-75F 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Mechanical and electrical spaces will control to 85-90F The corridors on floors 2 through 5would be considered tempered-they

have generous air conditioning but when students open the doors from

their rooms, they will rob cooling from the hall system. In the heating mode, the occupied spaces shall be designed to control to

68-70F during occupied mode. Telecommunication rooms will control

to 68-75F 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Mechanical and electrical

spaces will control to 55F If the thermal comfort LEED credit is pursued for this project, the heat-

ing mode conditions may need to be increased to 71 to 72F to meetpublished comfort standards established in ASHRAE Standard 55 for lowhumidity regions.

Exterior Envelope Requirements

General: Components of the building envelope will be insulated to meet

or exceed the Washington State Energy Code (2009) for Spokane Countylocated in Washington State Climate Zone 2.

Heat Generation

Option #1-Steam: The campus central steam plant distributes 100 psigsteam to the campus buildings via underground utility tunnels. Verypreliminary loads estimate the steam peak load at 5000-6000 lbs/hr for

heating and domestic hot water. EWU has indicated that the system is

sufficiently sized to allow for future campus growth. The main utilitytunnel is located under the sidewalk on the south of the building within

close proximity to the building footprint. A shallow utility trench withsteam (servicing Streeter and Morrison Halls) is located along the eastside of the site. In this option, a branch from the main utility tunnel from

Cedar Street will be extended to the building and would enter the lowerlevel steam service room in the southwest corner of the building. Acondensate pump located in the steam room would return condensate to

the pumped condensate pipe in the tunnel that returns the condensateback to the central steam plant. High pressure campus steam would bereduced to low pressure steam within the mechanical room. Low pres-

sure steam is piped to the domestic water heaters, lower level air han-dling unit and convertors that convert steam to hot water to be used forterminal unit heating. It is assumed the steam system is no more than

70% efficient when central plant boiler efficiencies, steam condensate lossand pipe losses between the central plant and the building are consid-ered. The high pressure steam service size for the building is 3 and the

pumped condensate is 2

Option #2-High Efficiency Hot Water: In lieu of campus steam presented

in option #1, this option provides hot water in the building throughmodular high efficiency condensing boilers located in the building. Thissystem would be designed with lower supply and return water tem-

peratures to allow the boilers to operate at their highest efficiencies atcondensing temperatures. It is assumed that this system would average90-92% efficient.

Water Treatment: The hydronic heating system will be freeze protectedwith a propylene glycol solution due to freeze potential of heating coilslocated in the 100% outside air heat recovery units.

Materials o Low pressure steam: Black steel, schedule 40 o High pressure steam: Black steel, schedule 80

o Steam Condensate: Black steel, schedule 80 o Hydronic Heating Water Piping: Copper or steel pipe, schedule 40

Refrigeration

Campus Chilled Water Plant: Chilled water to the building would beprovided from the campus central chilled water plant. The campus

water plant distributes chilled water to the buildings on campus viaunderground utility tunnels. Preliminary estimates of peak chilled water

demand for partial building cooling are 150-175 tons and 315 to 360 GPM. Water Treatment: Consistent with campus standards, the chilled water

system will not be glycoled and the main air handling unit will requirewinter draindown for freeze protection. The majority of the fan coil units

will be recirculating type (not subject to freezing) and will not requirewinter draindown.

Materials

o Hydronic Chilled Water Piping: Copper or steel, schedule 40

Ventilation

Ventilation will be provided in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 62 (Ven-

tilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality). Each programmed space willbe designed to accommodate the appropriate occupancy requirements

based on ASHRAE Standards and other applicable codes and standards aslisted below in terms of minimum outdoor air volumes, as well as make upand exhaust air requirements.

The ventilation system make-up air and exhaust will operate 24 hoursper day. Heat recovered from the building exhaust air will be used totemper the fresh air with a heat recovery unit that contains air to air heat

exchangers. The fans and heat exchanger units will be located in the atticspace. Fresh air and exhaust ductwork will be ducted horizontally in theattic where it will be distributed vertically through the building.

Fresh air for the living units and make up air for the exhaust systems will

be conditioned at terminal units on each level and introduced into thehall way system. This supply air will be transferred from the hall way to

the living units, toilet rooms, shower areas and custodial rooms where itwill be exhausted.

MECHANICAL NARRATIVE(cont.)

Air Handling Units

Air handling units serving the lower level shall be central station type

variable volume air handling units. Units will be modular type, prepack-aged by the manufacturer, and shall include fans, steam face and bypass

heating coil, chi lled water coil, filter, and mixing box sections. Outside airfor the units will vary between a minimum setting and 100% based uponminimum outside requirements and economizer cooling demand.

Heat recovery units will be provided for the dedicated outside air system

serving floors two through five. Heat recovery units will be packed unitswith supply fan, heating coil, pre-heat coil, energy recovery wheel, filters,exhaust fan. Units will deliver a fixed ventilation airflow and heat recovery

controls will include a defrost cycle.

Terminal Units

Perimeter Hydronic Heat: The two and three bedroom student living unitswill be heated with hot water radiant heat (fin tube or radiator). Perimeter

radiant heat will also be provided in the large social lounges and lobbiesserved from the variable volume air handing system.

Fan Coil Units: The fan coils units serving the social areas on floors 2through 5 will be heated and cooled with hydronic fan coil units with

heating and chilled water coils. Variable Air Volume Terminal Units: The variable volume terminal units

located on the first floor will be single duct terminal units with air flow

volume damper, air flow measurement and a hot water reheat coil. Materials o Supply/Return and exhaust ductwork : Galvanized steel

o Shower exhaust: aluminum

Terminal and Packaged Units

Packaged terminal cooling units will be utilized for isolated areas thathave 24 hour process cooling loads such as the telecommunication rooms.Stacked telecommunication rooms will be serviced from a single outdoor

heat pump condensing unit with variable refrigerant volume supply con-trols to provide cooling to the indoor duct split fan coil units.

HVAC Instrumentation and Controls

The project will utilize a Direct Digital Control (DDC) for the control of the

HVAC systems. Damper and valve actuators shall be electronic. Each twoand 3 bedroom dorm room and apartment will have their own thermo-

stat. The energy management control system will be compatible with the

existing BACnet (Alerton or Delta) system on the Eastern WashingtonUniversity campus. This building shall interface and communicate with

the existing campus network and front end operators terminal for thepurpose of remote operation and maintenance.

Testing, Adjusting and Balancing

Air systems (supply, return, and exhaust), hydronic and domestic hot waterrecirculation systems shall be completely balanced in accordance with As-

sociated Air Balance Council or National Environmental Balancing Bureau.The Contractor shall secure the services of an independent Testing, Ad-

justing and Balancing ( TAB) agency for the TAB of the mechanical systems

Fire Protection Systems

Fire Service: The supply main to the building will be 6-inch. The static wa-

ter pressure in the area of the building is 80 to 90 psi with good flow. Thiswater supply will support the sprinkler system without a booster pump.

All interior spaces in the building will be sprinklered in accordance with

NFPA 13. A wet-pipe system will be used in most areas. If the attic hascombustibles and is naturally ventilated, it will be sprinklered with a drypipe system to prevent the sprinkler pipe from freezing.

Standpipes will be provided in each stairwell.

The fire system will be divided into multiple zones by floor for identifica-tion and annunciation at the central fire alarm panel. Fire department

connections, post indicator valve and backflow prevention shall be inaccordance with the City of Cheney requirements.

Consistent with EWU standards, the fire department pump connection will

be mounted on the exterior of the building. The fire system will be provided with its own double check backflow pre-

vention assembly.

CIVIL NARRATIVE

Division 1 General Requirements

Project Summary: The scope of the project consists of the design and

construction of a new student residence facility on the campus of EasternWashington University. The proposed facility wi ll be located within theblock bound by Cedar St. on the south, 10th St. on the East, 11th St. onthe west, and the Streeter Hall complex to the north. The facility will be

of approximately 108,000 in gross square footage and have 350 beds forstudent living. Currently this site is used as a campus parking facility.

Projected Date of Occupancy: The planned date for substantialcompletion and occupancy of the proposed facility is the fall of 2013.Currently no discussion of phased construction has occurred.

Division 2 Site Work, Utilities, and Demolition

Existing Site Conditions: A site topographic survey has been provided.Existing grade along 10th drops from a high point at the northernboundary from elevation 2470 to an elevation of 2453 at the intersection

of Cedar St. and 10th St. The roadway slopes at about a 6.7% alongthis distance. Cedar Street is relatively flat at about a 2% drop from theintersection of Cedar and 11th to Cedar and 10th to the east. The high

point of 11th Street occurs at the intersection with Cedar, it then slopesdownward at less than 1% to an elevation of 2457 at the northwestboundary of the site. Within the boundaries of the streets the existing site

generally slopes to the southeast corner. The lowest contour line on the

existing site is 2452 and is located just inside the east parking lot entranceoff Cedar Street. The existing parking lot has been cut out of the side of a

hill between 10th and 11th Streets.

Existing Streets: As stated above the project is surrounded by 10th Street,

Cedar Street and 11th Street and to the north/upslope is Streeter Hall. Allstreets are fully improved with curb and gutter and existing sidewalks onthe project side on 10th Street and Cedar Street. It is not anticipated that

any work will be required for the streets other than connecting extendingutilities to the site and cutting/installing access points.

Access Control and Circulation Plan: The project civil engineer will use

Auto-Turn software to help design vehicular routes of travel, fire lanes,and truck routes. Vehicular (including emergency vehicle) access is

available from all three bordering streets. The exterior circulation to andaround the site is well established within these streets. New drivewaysinto parking areas of the residence hall will be refined as the designprogresses.

Demolition: The largest item of demolition on the project is the existingparking lot. A curb surrounding the perimeter of the parking lot will

require demolition. At the north end of the parking lot is a retaining walland a stairway leading to Streeter Hall that will be demolished as part ofthis project. Within the parking lot exists site lighting to be demolished.

Some sections of the perimeter street sidewalk will be required to bedemolished in preparation for the new residence hall construction. Minor

street demolition will be required to remove existing driveway accesspoints as well prepare for a revised access to the facility from Cedar St.

Site Preparation: A temporary erosion and sediment control (TESC) plan

will be developed to control erosion and offsite migration of sediment-laden water. The TESC plan wi ll address practices, methodologies, andrequirements for erosion control. The TESC plan will be developed during

the design process and be followed during construction. This plan isintended to result in the establishment of Best Management Practices(BMPs) to be implemented and followed during construction to prevent

erosion of exposed soils, as well as prevent sediment from leaving the

project site. Adjacent properties and pipe storm drain systems mustbe protected from sediment deposition, as well as increases in volume,

velocity, and peak flow rates of stormwater runoff from the project site.Erosion control measures will include the use of temporary sedimentbasins, filter fabric fences, catch basin inserts, straw bales, gravel check

dams, and so on. Inspec tions of the erosion control BMPs will be requiredat intervals of not less than once a week and within 24 hours of everysignificant storm. Erosion control measures will be inspected by a

Certified Erosion and Sedimentation Control Lead (CESCL). The projectwill require a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) prior tothe start of construction outlining specific control measures to prevent


38/44


accumulation of sediment in stormwater runoff during construction. ANotice of Intent (NOI) will be filed and approved prior to any construction

or demolition. Upon completion of the project and after site stabilization,a Notice of Termination (NOT) must be completed and filed through

the Washington State Department of Ecology; temporary protection ofadjacent property, structures, benchmarks, and monuments; temporaryrelocation of site improvements scheduled for reuse; temporary utilityconnections to existing buildings as required by phased construction;

removal and legal disposal of cleared materials.

Earthwork: Site earthwork will include excavation to footing/bottom

floor depths, backfilling and compaction behind walls and structures,and grading for the building, site improvements, and utilities. Importedmaterials will likely be required for structural fill for foundations, sub-base

materials for drainage infiltration and pavements, and backfill materialfor slabs and other improvements. The contractor will remove and legally

dispose of excavated materials.

Hot-Mixed Asphalt Paving: The majority of paving to occur on the projectwill consist of patching the existing streets. Two pullout areas along Cedar

and 11th Street will provide short term parking.

Portland Cement Concrete Paving: In the area of the two new pullouts

a revised sidewalk will be constructed and extended to tie into othersidewalk along those sections. Within the courtyard a network ofsidewalks connect the residence hall to the promenade at 10th and Cedar.

Sidewalks will likely 6 inches thick and of varying width dependent on the

location. Cast-in-place concrete curbs will be used at the pullout areasand at locations where existing approaches were removed.

Water Service: Domestic (potable) water lines currently serve the facilitiesaround the site. An 8 inch watermain exists in both 10th and 11th

Streets. The size needs for fire and irrigation water services have not beenfinalized however domestic water needs require a 4 inch line be extendedto the building. Once facility fire demands are known, an automatic fire

protection system will be designed. Initial review of the area has existinghydrants near all four corners of this block however one additional

hydrant will likely be required due to distance limitations. The Cheney FireDepartment will make a review of the proposed design in the near future

and provide a final say on future hydrant needs. The project civil engineerwill design water service in compliance with applicable codes and

requirements of the authority having jurisdiction requirements, includingbackflow prevention, metering, and so on.

Storm Sewerage: On-site stormwater collection and disposal will be

handled by storm piping, catch basins, clean-outs, manholes, drywells andgrassed swales. An on-site stormwater drainage design will be developedusing the Rational Method to calculate the post-developed storm water

runoff for the 10-year, 24-hour design storm. The project civil engineerwill design the storm water system to handle the stormwater runoff (peakrate and volume). Existing storm drain manholes and piping are located

in Cedar Street. Poor soil conditions may require that metered disposal tothe existing system in Cedar Street be included in the design however the

City of Cheney has noted that all disposal be onsite in accordance withthe Spokane Regional Stormwater Manual.

Sanitary Sewerage: Public sanitary sewer system piping and manholes are

available in both 11th and Cedar Streets. Invert elevation of the manholelocated in the Cedar St./11th St. intersection is noted to be at 2446.63 onthe survey, which is about 8ft lower than the Finished first Floor Elevation

of 2454.50. Based on calculations building waste needs depict either 2 6inch sanitary sewer lines or 1 8 inch sanitary sewer be routed from thebuilding to the sewer main.

Natural Gas: Natural gas will not be used on this project. Propane (thecampus standard) has been identified as the back-up fuel for the building

generator due to interruptible gas service. The project civi l engineer willcoordinate with the mechanical/electrical engineer to provide a locationfor a propane storage tank with fuel truck servicing capability. Should

other needs arise that require propane the project civil engineer will againcoordinate with other disciplines to provide the service.


39/44


Landscape Work: Proposed landscape improvements will require repairand replacement of existing grass areas due to construction activities.

New landscape will be designed all around the new facility. The projectwill include development of a courtyard/gathering space which will

likely employ concrete sidewalks and planter areas. Most of the existingtrees have been identified for removal, however those slated to remainwill be preserved and protected as construction proceeds. A retainingwall section to facilitate an outdoor eating space for the caf will be

constructed between 10th Street and the new building. Materials slatedfor this wall have not yet been defined.

Irrigations Systems: Irrigation systems will include new pipe, fittings,valves, sprinklers and automatic controls for new landscaping and streettrees. Irrigation water service to the facility will likely be provided a

separate tap from the watermain with appropriate backflow prevention/isolation.

Site Accessories: Bike racks will be provided at locations determined bythe architect.

Signage: All on-street signage shall be protected and/or replaced withlike signage. On-street traffic signage must me maintained or replaceswith similar signage.

Site and Landscape

The landscape design for the new residence hall at EWU will include a vari-ety of deciduous shade trees and flowering and non-flowering shrubs and

groundcovers. The landscape design will conform to applicable regulatorystandards and EWU standards for screening, buffering, density and area, andwill include parking lot plantings, site buffers, and screens. Existing trees willbe preserved as much as possible.

The main pedestrian entry to the bui lding wil l be paved with a concrete brickpaver, with a plaza space near the building entry. A diagonal paved walk will

connect the building entry to the Cedar and 10th intersection, with smallerless dominant walks constructed of broom finished concrete.

A drop off area to the west side of the building provides student loading andunloading, with service and utility yards also located along the west side of

the building.

Turf areas on site wil l be sodded with a blend of Kentucky Bluegrass and pe-rennial ryegrass, suitable for more active use. Borders between planting beds

and lawn will be concrete mow strips strong enough to withstand large scaleequipment and designed to eliminate the majority of hand trimming aroundtrees and shrubs. Planting beds will be mulched with rock mulch, applied over

a pre-emergent granular herbicide or weed-barrier fabric. Topsoil will includenative and imported material, screened of rocks.

Irrigation System

Irrigation systems will be fully automatic, and designed around the equipmentstandards set by the University. Generally, large turf-type rotors will be used

in the larger turf areas, and small pop-up spray heads will be used in smallerareas if needed. Planting beds will be irrigated with integral-dripperlinewatering. All mainline piping will be rigid PVC, and sleeves installed beneathpaved areas. Irrigation controls will include a multiple-program controller and

integrated into the University system.
