Two Story Admin Bldg Extension

I. Statement of the Problem:

The Department of Education (DepEd), as an integral part of the rehabilitation of the
Baguio Teachers Camp has commissioned a RL to design and manage the construction of the
admin extension building. The new building will house Purchasing Department and Engineering
Department to address the overcrowding in the existing admin building. The two department
office area will be located at the 2nd floor while the locker room/T&B are to be located for the
end users to enjoy the cold climate and scenery of the camp
Design Requirements
1. A Business Center - 168sq.m, a lobby and a stair of 60sq.m and a storage 1 of
120sq.m will all together be located at GF, right corner of lot. The 3 areas will have a total
width of 30m compose of 12m width business center, 6m width of lobby stair and what
remains is the width of the storage 1. The business center will occupy the right corner
with 6m width x 14 length deck on the right side, and the other deck in front measuring
18m x 10m to join the side deck. The lobby will also have a deck of 6.0mx 10.0m. Both
front and side open decks are accessible by stairs/steps. Storage 1 will contain the
beddings, linen and the like as well as office supplies, a concessionaire will operate the
business center.
2. The Storage 2 will be a 300sq.m, with a width of 15m width min. setback and
is attached to storage 1. The storage 2 will contain construction materials such as cement,
lumber, plywood, paints, and the like. This spacer is under the management and control
of the purchasing department.
3. The last enclosed space at the G.F, is the workshop for use of the engineering
department; its size will have a width of 40mx 800sq.m and is aligned to storage 2. The
workshop will contain a locker room with T&B/ shower with area of 60sq.m. The
workshop will be constructed fire rated partition walls.
4. The back portion of the workshop, storage 1, storage 2, and lobby is where the
docking/delivery platform is attached. The platform measures 4m width 73m length.
Ramp and stair are integrated in the platform.
5. A rear driveway, loading/ unloading area, parking spaces, multipurpose open
space will occupy the rear measuring 24m x 105m.
6. Right after workshop is a softscape space of 3.0m x 72sq.m
7. A driveway will be provided with width of 6.0m to connect the rear open space
to the main road.
8. The front and side setback will be dedicated for softscape/garden.
9. The second floor will contain the stair and stairwell of the same size as the
ground lobby/stair. It also contains the engineering department office of the same size as
the business center which is exactly region it. Likewise, the purchasing department office
which of the same size as the storage 1.
10. A balcony for 2 offices will be provided with open deck 4x 18m.
II. Design Objectives:
The new building should have a design character uniform to that to the existing
administration building being the its extension. The use of local materials, Baguio stone, as
finishing material is encouraged. The building should be provided with wide windows for the
 ample ventilation since the building will not be equipped with artificial ventilation or AC. The front
and side softscape be in the same level as the main road to avoid rain water ponding.
III. The Site:
The project site is a small camp of a big camp. The site assigned is at the left corner of the
main road (teacher's camp) and secondary road, the first road from the Leonard Wood road
except that the land is bounded in the south by the main road and in the east bounded by the
secondary road. The rear and the left side is technically limitless, the camp being a large campus
like environment east of downtown Baguio. RL is required to determine and report the final lot
area to be used after it has satisfy the space required of DepEd-BTC. It is assumed that main and
secondary roads are perpendicular to each other. The camp is declared as Group C- Education and
Recreation, Division C- other types of government buildings and a zoning classification of G.I (Gen.
Institution). The office of the building official of Baguio declared the groupings and zoning
classification of this site. The site is sloping downward at 3% from the main street, sidewalk
towards the rear part of the site. The front right corner is the east is the same level as the main
street sidewalk. The secondary street and its sidewalk are sloping just like the lot towards the rea.
It must be noted that the entire camp is provided with buildings including this project. The front
and right side setback will be 5.0m. Public utilities such as water, sewage and electric are all in
placed in the camp and are accessible by the building project.
