While we don’t envision the architect developing significant typical construction details, the requested design activities should address and provide minimum specifications for the following important fabrication requirements to guide modular unit manufacturers in submitting their proposals: • Room sizes and layouts to accomplish program objectives. • Adjacencies and flow through space. • Bathroom features (at least 3 single occupancy rooms). • Compliance with local building and fire codes. • Location of windows and doors. • Ceiling heights. • R-value of insulating materials. • Location of electrical outlets and lighting fixtures. Other architect activities: • Assist the College in reviewing submitted proposals for final selection. • Prepare drawings to satisfy permitting requirements. • Product/equipment approvals. • Coordination with other professional service providers that the College will engage directly – civil, mechanical, fire/safety. • Once on-site installation begins, the architect will provide some level of oversight to ensure that modular contractor activities are completed in a workmanlike manner.
