Summary: Tasks
(In the early stages of the system development process, performance
requirements for the building subsystems were derived from the user
needs, functional requirements, VA regulations, etc. They have
subsequently been revised to reflect the design decisions generated by
that process and are now to be considered design criteria for specific
construction projects. As such, they are literally components of the
building subsystems, and have therefore been editorially integrated into
the subsystem descriptions in Section 300.)
3. Expand the cost base developed in Phase 2 to include the total hospital
and the two additional building subsystems. (Section 530.)
4. Review the space modules and other planning concepts developed in
Phase 2 for the "nursing tower" and investigate their applicability to the
rest of the hospital. Develop new planning modules as may be required
to provide a coordinated group for a total hospital building system.
(Section 200.)
5. Develop a set of hospital design configurations utilizing the proposed
planning modules, which could be further developed into detailed
building designs. (Section 250.)
6. Revise and expand the Prototype Design proposed in Phase 2 as
required to include the six designated subsystems in a coordinated set
of building components for the total hospital. Continue evaluation of
building products presently on the market in terms of the subsystem
performance requirements. (Section 300.)
7. Establish target costs for each subsystem, and compare long-term
costs of conventional design and construction with anticipated long-term
costs of buildings utilizing the Prototype Design. Similarly, compare
conventional and system scheduling. (Section 750.)
8. Develop a schematic hospital design illustrating application of the
Building System Prototype Design, and discuss its cost, scheduling and
performance characteristics. (Section 730.)
