4.2.1 ModularFacilitiesPlanning
TheBiochemistryIICoreGroupandUserGroupsdiscussedthemultifacetedgoaloflab
exibility. They decided that the various lab spaces needed to be consistently sized and
congured in order to be as exible as possible.
4.2.2 Modularity
TheCoreGroupandUserGroupshaddecidedthattheBiochemistryIIneededtomeetthescienceneedsofarangeofdisciplinesincludingbiology,chemistry,biochemistryand
instrumentation sciences as well as to provide exibility of use. In order to achieve this level
of exibility they decided to design to a consistent size and layout of the overall lab and lab

may be difcult to achieve, though labs can be partitioned within every 4-person module

The International Building Code regulates quantities of hazardous materials based on the
oor above or below grade on which they are located; higher oor levels are permitted l
material quantities. This becomes a concern on upper oor levels where limitations on
quantities will require close attention from an operations standpoint. This issue is dealt

The IBC controls quantities of materials by two methods. The code denes the quantity
of each material category permitted within a Control Area for each oor level and the code
denes the number of Control Areas allow ed per oor.

The building program for research areas denes the numbers of research laboratories, lab

occupancies for this facility, four hour re walls are required for separations of less than 30feet.
The Historic Building Code requires that all design issues related to egress and handicap

IfAgriculturalJournalismwastreatedasaseparatedistincthistoricbuilding,itwouldbe
