Maritime School

I. Brief Background:

Maritime School where studies is an interdisciplinary academic field

that embraces the liberal arts as the foundation for exploring
humankind's critical and continually evolving connections with the
world's waterways and watersheds. Maritime Studies encompasses the
liberal arts in recognized humanities and social science disciplines
such as History, English, Geography, Economics, Political Science,
Automation, Cybernetics, Computer Science, Information Science and
Anthropology. Maritime Studies highlights the social and cultural side
of the human/water relationship, but recognizes and explores the links
between human activities and the composition and the condition of the
coastal and marine environments. Incorporating history, literature,
poetry, and film, maritime studies is able to cover a broader scope than
traditional maritime history or seamanship.

II. Objectives:

Objectives is where the design will be based on how to be design the

function and etc.
1. The design of a Maritime School will be achieving some innovative
facilities that will help the student and employees to work and
study
2. The design of Maritime School will aim a Tropical solution for each
buildings and structures.
3. Submit a complete requirement of design of a Maritime school.

III. Relevant Data:

A. Planning Guidelines:
B. Design Guidelines (TESDA):

1. Relationship of new to existing development.

All development proposals should show evidence of harmony with the

site plan, arrangement of building forms and landscape design of
neighboring properties. The degree to which neighboring sites and
buildings must be considered in the design of a new project will
depend upon the value, architectural quality and estimated tenure of
improvements on the neighboring property, as well as the particular
requirements of the new project. While a firm rule for design is not
possible, every new proposal should demonstrate that it has considered
the contextual influences of neighboring properties and has made a
diligent effort to orchestrate careful relationships between old and
new.

A. Site Planning-

1. The site organization should respect the arrangement of

buildings, open spaces and landscape elements of adjacent
sites. When possible, buildings and open spaces should be
located for mutual advantage of sunlight, circulation, and
views.

2. When feasible, new building projects should be linked to

adjacent projects to encourage internal circulation by
pedestrians and automobiles. This will reduce traffic loads
on adjacent streets by reducing ingress and egress traffic.
The method of linkage will depend on specific conditions of
each site and project. The linkage could be as simple as a
connecting sidewalk, or as extensive as shared driveways,
access drives, and parking. When no development exists on
the adjacent property, give consideration to its future
disposition and how the two sites may develop a circulation
linkage.

B. Architectural Design. Efforts to coordinate the actual and

apparent height of adjacent structures are encouraged. This is
especially applicable where buildings are located very close
to each other. It is often possible to adjust the height of a
wall, cornice or parapet line to match that of an adjacent
building. Similar design linkages can be achieved to adjust
the apparent height by placing window lines, belt courses or
other horizontal elements in a pattern that reflects the same
elements on neighboring buildings.
2. Building design, materials, and colors:

New development should preserve and be compatible with the

city’s historic architectural heritage. Particular emphasis
should be placed on achieving an intimate scale and a concern
for craftsmanship. New developments, which are near or
adjacent to older buildings of substantial historic character,
should be respectful of the historic building. While not
mimicking the older structure, the development should consider
the compatibility of size, shape, scale, materials, details,
textures, colors, and landscape features.

a. Roof design shall reduce the mass and scale of buildings,

add visual interest and prevent reflective glare. Flat roofs
shall have parapets to conceal the roof and mechanical
equipment from ground level views.

b. Overhanging eaves are encouraged on sloped roofs.

c. Exterior siding consisting of wood, brick, and/or other

materials with natural textures is encouraged. The use of
recycled and ecologically friendly materials is also
encouraged.

d. Exterior building materials shall be of similar type (e.g.,

wood or masonry) on all sides of a building, except that
embellishments and details proposed for the street side
frontage(s) of the building need not be carried through on
other sides.

e. Building colors should be compatible with other buildings

as well as natural features in the vicinity. The use of colors
that emphasize earth tones typical of the Enumclaw area are
encouraged. Bright colors should be minimized or used for
minor architectural accents rather than on major portions of
the building.
 3. Building entrances

The primary entrances of buildings shall be identified and highlighted

through architectural details, lighting, and signage. The design of
buildings shall enhance the relationship between buildings and streets
by creating easily identifiable building entrances.

1. Entrances shall be visible from the adjoining primary street.

2. Techniques that may be used to highlight primary building

entrances include, but are not limited to, the following:

a. Recessed entry;

b. Glazed door;

c. Roof line emphasis;

d. Windows above entry;

e. Projecting sign above doorway, subject to sign code;

f. Canopy, marquee, or awning above entry;

g. Head molding or decorative lintel above doorway;

h. Contrasting, decorative finish materials; and

i. Street address posted prominently above or near the building

entrance.

4. Weather protection.

Buildings should provide protection for pedestrians from adverse

weather conditions.
 a. Overhangs, marquees, and awnings that provide protection for
pedestrians and bicycle racks from adverse weather conditions
should be incorporated at entrances, along pedestrian sidewalks,
and at transportation waiting areas.

b. Enumclaw often experiences strong wind conditions. Doorways

should be oriented or sheltered so that doors can be opened easily
and safely when strong seasonal winds are present, where feasible

5. Landscaping

Optional landscaping techniques may also include where appropriate:

a. Providing frameworks such as trellises or arbors for plants;

b. Incorporating planter guards, retaining walls, or low planter

walls as part of the architecture;

c. Incorporating upper story planter boxes, roof gardens, or

plants;

d. Incorporating outdoor furniture into the landscaping plan.

6. Parking

Development shall minimize the impact of parking on the building’s

relationship to the street, pedestrian-oriented character, and
character of the neighborhood.

a. Off-street parking shall be provided for all residential units.

Parking shall be provided at a rate of one space per dwelling
unit.

b. New Development. Off-street parking shall be located to the

rear of the building. Partial or full underground parking may be
used.
 c. Redevelopment. Parking lots shall be relocated behind buildings
where feasible. Where parking lots are allowed to remain in front
of or beside buildings, parking lots shall provide a five-foot-
wide planting area between the parking lot and the street right-
of-way.

d. Adjacent developments are encouraged to link parking areas and

accessways in order to encourage combining of shopping trips and
pedestrian activity and to reduce redundant driveways.

7. Residential Zones

Buildings shall be designed to ensure that building massing, height,

and scale provide sensitive transition to adjoining residential
neighborhoods. New developments whose bulk and scale may negatively
impact adjacent residential areas shall mitigate the effect through
careful site planning and architectural design. Possible mitigation
techniques include, but are not limited to, the following:
 a. Locating open space and preserving existing vegetation on the
site’s edge to further separate the building from less intensive
uses;

b. Stepping down the massing of the building along the site’s

edge;

c. Limiting the length of or articulating building facades to

reflect adjacent residential patterns; and

d. Creative use and ongoing maintenance of landscaping, such as

berms, mounds, rockeries, living fences, and swales.

8. Setback

To provide setbacks that reflect and continue the residential feel and
appearance along Griffin Avenue.

1. All front yard setbacks shall be a minimum of 20 feet, side

yard setbacks shall be a minimum of five feet to the eaves, and
rear yard setbacks shall be a minimum of 15 feet.

9. Articulation and overall massing

To provide visual variety along the streetscape and to emulate

architecture of surrounding residential areas.

1. Horizontal facades longer than 25 feet shall be articulated into

smaller units, reminiscent of residential scale of the surrounding
neighborhood. At least two of the following methods shall be included:

a. Distinctive roof forms;

b. Changes in materials;

c. Window patterns; and

d. Color differentiation.
2. Additions or alterations to existing buildings shall be made in
keeping with the building’s original architectural style.

3. Pitched Roof Forms. Structures shall incorporate pitched roof forms

having slopes between 4:12 and 12:12. Further, each facade facing a
street should have a gabled or hipped roof form. Other roof details,
such as dormers and overhangs, are encouraged.

3. Functional Areas:
1. Classroom Facilities
a. Classroom -room or space used primarily for instruction classes
and which is not tied to a specific subject or discipline by
equipment in the room or the configuration of the space. Includes
rooms or spaces generally used for scheduled instruction which
require no special, restrictive equipment or configuration. These
spaces may be called lecture‐demonstration rooms, seminar rooms,
and general purpose classrooms. A classroom may be equipped with
tablet arm chairs, table and chairs, or similar type of seating.
These spaces may contain multimedia or telecommunications
equipment. A classroom may be furnished with special equipment
(e.g., globes, pianos, maps, computers, network connections)
appropriate to a specific area of study, if this equipment does
not render the space unsuitable for use by classes in other area
of study.
b. Classroom Service- A space that directly serves one or more
classrooms as an extension of the activities in that
space. Includes projection rooms, Audio/Video rooms,
telecommunications control booths, preparation rooms, coat rooms,
storage areas, etc., if they serve classrooms.

2. Laboratory Facilities
a. Class Laboratory - A space used primarily for formally or regularly
scheduled instruction (including associated mandatory, but non‐
credit‐earning laboratories) that require special purpose equipment
or a specific space configuration for student participation,
experimentation, observation, or practice in an academic
discipline.
b. Class Laboratory Service - A space that directly serves one or
more Class Laboratories as an extension of the activities in those
spaces.
c. Class Laboratory Stations- The number of stations provided in class
laboratories should be determined based on the specific course
curriculum and pedagogy, and number of students to be served by
 the class laboratory. For planning purposes, the number of class
laboratory stations to be provided in a new or remodeled facility
should be based on extensive and in‐depth consultations with
individual faculty teaching the courses that will use the class
laboratories, administrative personnel, institutional architects
and project managers and professional laboratory planning
consultants.
d. Open Laboratory Definition- A laboratory used primarily for
individual or group instruction that is informally scheduled,
unscheduled, or open.
e. Open Laboratory Services - A space that directly serves one or
more open laboratories as an extension of the activities in those
spaces
f. Research/Non‐Class Laboratory - A space used for laboratory
experimentation, research, or training in research methods;
professional research and observations; structured creative
activity within a specific program, for sponsored research (whether
sponsored with federal, state, private or institutional funds).
g. Research/Non‐class Laboratory Services - A space that directly
serves one or more research/non‐class laboratories as an extension
of the activities in those spaces.
h. Cold Room - A space that is used to maintain a "cold" temperature
which directly serves one or more research/non‐class laboratories.

Factors that affect designs are: *

1. Number of people to be accommodated in the space.
2. Modes of communication and traffic patterns.
3. Number and type of work and research spaces.
4. Special equipment and building design features.
5. Future trends in the field.
6. Special support systems and controls required for the research.
7. Overall building construction methods.

3. Office Facilities
characterized as space housing faculty, staff, or students working at
one or more desks, tables or workstations. Description: An office is
typically assigned to one or more persons as a station or work area. It
may be equipped with desks, chairs, tables, bookcases, filing cabinets,
computer workstations or other office equipment. Included are
executive, faculty, administrative, clerical, graduate assistant and
teaching assistant, and student offices.
4. Study Facilities
Library and Study space is classified into five categories: Study Room
(library or non‐library). Stack, Open‐Stack Study room, Processing Room
(user assistance or technical processing), and Study Service. Offices
used for library activities are coded as Office facilities. Classrooms
used for library activities are coded as Classrooms facilities. A study
space may contain equipment or materials that aid the study or learning
process (e.g., computers, multimedia carrels, CD and DVD players,
typewriters, records and tapes) and does not restrict the space to a
particular academic discipline or discipline group. Whereas a Study Room
(410) may appear in almost any type of building on campus (e.g.,
academic, residential, student service), Stacks (420), Open‐Stack Study
Rooms (430), and Processing Rooms (440) are typically located in central,
branch, and departmental libraries. Identification of library space
should be made through the use of functional categories, and departmental
space through the combined use of academic discipline and functional
categories.

 Study Room
 Stack
 Open‐Stack Study Room
 Processing Room
 Study Service

5. Special Use Facilities

This category includes several space use categories that are

sufficiently specialized in their primary activity or function to
merit a unique space code. Areas and rooms for military training,
athletic activity, media production, clinical activities (outside of
separately organized health care facilities), demonstrations,
agricultural field activities, and animal and plant shelters are
included here. Although many of these special use facilities provide
service to other areas, their special use or configuration dictates
that these areas not be coded as service spaces.

 Armory
 Armory Service
 Athletic or Physical Education
 Athletic Facilities Spectator Seating
 Athletic or Physical Education Service
 Media Production
 Medial Production Service
 Clinic
 Clinic Service
 Field Building
 Demonstration
 Field Building
 Animal Facilities
 Animal Facilities Service
 Greenhouses
 Greenhouse Service
 Others (All Purpose)

6. General Use Facilities

 General Use Facilities are characterized by a broader availability
to faculty, students, staff, or the public than are Special Use
Facilities (500 series), which are typically limited to a small group
or special population. General Use Facilities comprise a campus
general service or functional support system (e.g., assembly,
exhibition, dining, relaxation, merchandising, recreation, general
meetings and day care) for the institutional and participant community
populations.

 Assembly  Lounges
 Assembly Service  Lounge Service
 Exhibition  Merchandising
 Exhibition Service  Merchandising Service
 Food Facility  Recreation
 Food Facility Service  Recreation Service
 Day Care  Meeting Room
 Day Care Service  Meeting Room Services

7. Support Facilities
Support Facilities, which provide centralized space for various
auxiliary support systems and services of a campus, help keep all
institutional programs and activities operational. While not as directly
accessible to institutional and community members as General Use
Facilities (Code 600 series), these areas provide a continuous, indirect
support system to faculty, staff, students and the public. Support
Facilities are centralized in that they typically serve an area ranging
from an entire building or organization unit to the entire campus.
Included are centralized areas for computer‐ based data processing and
telecommunications, shop services, general storage and supply, vehicle
storage, central services (e.g., printing and duplicating, mail,
shipping and receiving, environmental testing or monitoring, laundry,
or food stores), and hazardous materials areas.

 Central Computer or  Vehicle Storage Service

Telecommunications  Central Stores
 Central Computer or  Central Service Support
Telecommunications Service  Hazardous Materials
 Shop Storage
 Shop Service  Hazardous Waste Storage
 Central Storage  Hazardous Waste Service
 Central Storage Service  Unit Storage
 Vehicle Storage

8. Health Care Facilities

This series provides space use classification for patient care areas
that are located in separately organized and budgeted health care
facilities; student infirmaries and centers, teaching hospitals, stand‐
alone clinics run by these hospitals, and veterinary and medical schools.
Space codes and definitions apply to both human and animal health care
areas; excluded are clinic facilities located outside of separately
organized and budgeted health care facilities (see Clinic 540). Although
the codes in this series are confined to the settings listed, these
facilities may also house areas that are classified using applicable
codes from other classification series (e.g., classroom, laboratory,
office, special use, general use, supporting facilities, etc.).

 Patient Bedroom
 Patient Bedroom Service
 Patient Bath
 Nurse Station
 Nurse Station Service
 Surgery
 Surgery Service
 Treatment/Examination Clinic
 Treatment/Examination Clinic Service
 Diagnostic Service Laboratory
 Diagnostic Services Laboratory Support
 Central Supplies
 Public Waiting
 Staff On‐Call Facility
 Staff on‐Call Facility Service

9. Residential Facilities
facilities include housing for students, faculty, staff and visitors
to the institution. Hotel or motel and other guest facilities are
included in this series if they are owned or controlled by the
institution and used for purposes associated with defined
institutional missions (i.e., excluding commercial investment. Note:
Not all space in residential facilities is coded using the 900 series.
Conventional primary activity and service codes, as with libraries,
apply to specific areas. Included are Offices (310), Libraries (650),
Study Rooms (410), Dining Areas (see Food Facility 630), Recreation
(670) Rooms, and their corresponding service codes. Service Rooms
that typically appear in residential facilities are specified in the
Sleep/Study Service (935) or Apartment Service (955) descriptions.

 Sleep/Study without  Sleep/Study Service

Toilet or Bath  Apartment
 Toilet or Bath  Apartment Service
 Sleep/Study with  House
Toilet or Bath
 UConn maintains 70% of on‐campus undergraduate housing. The amount of space
provided per bed is determined by the type of residence hall (i.e., double room
vs. suite style vs. single double vs. apartment.)
