Proposal: Various alternatives are described in this report, with a final redesign being proposed as well. The focus of the redesign for the DISA HQ will be focused on the TE Lab. Due to the scope of work presented, the breadth topics deal mainly with the Architectural, Acoustical, and electrical building systems. Finally, a tentative work schedule has been laid out in order to facilitate the completion of the project for next semester.

The Focus of the Redesign will still focus on the TE Lab. A Built-up Chilled Plant to handle future loads will be investigating along with installing water cooled server racks to combat the high loads of this space. These systems will be anazlyzed for the effect on first cost, lifecycle cost, and construction schedule for the complex. the breadths investigated will include the acoustics of the roof top units, along with the implementation of a rainwater collection system.

This issue will be investigated along with a specification of sound attenuation equipment which will result in an acceptable noise level in these rooms. Architectural-Rainwater Collection System The DISA HQ Facility is over 1,000,000 SF and has an extremely large roof area. This creates an excellent opportunity to harvest rainwater. A Rainwater Collection System for rooftop water will be investigated. The collection surface, distribution piping and tank will be designed and sized. The tank will also be located on the site, where it would cause the least disturbance to current construction. Download a PDF Copy of the Breadth Proposal 2.0
