included in each FUA were applied in the calculation of the space breakdowns. A
<br />comparative space utilization analysis was undertaken as part of the review of the
<br />physical characteristics of each institution.
<br />The FUA's considered in the facility evaluation are those generic spaces found in
<br />detention type facilities. The 14 FUA's allow a facility containing numerous differing
<br />spaces to be categorized and compared, averaged, and described. The FUA's
<br />reviewed in the detention facilities are the following: (1) administration area, (2) public
<br />lobby area, (3) visiting, (4) Central Control, (5) maintenance/storage/utility, (6) food
<br />service, (7) laundry, (8) intake / release, (9) medical, (10) programs / classrooms,
<br />(11) housing / dayrooms, (12) circulation, (13) quasi -outdoor recreation, and (14)
<br />vehicle sallyport.
<br />Standard Building and Design Criteria: This review and assessment involved
<br />surveying the Jail for (1) appropriate size and efficiency, expansion, capabilities,
<br />location and adjacencies of departments, (2) systems - HVAC, plumbing, electrical
<br />and lighting, (3) fire and life safety - fire sprinklers, smoke detectors, alarms and
<br />panels, doors, emergency lighting, fire resistive materials, furniture and equipment,
<br />(4) codes and standards including ADA standards, (5) maintenance — interior /
<br />exterior structure, systems, grounds, (6) site - landscaping, parking, handicapped
<br />access, walks, curbs, and drainage, (7) structure - exterior walls, roof, foundations,
<br />windows, doors, overhangs and chimneys, (8) infrastructure - interior walls, Floors,
<br />ceilings, finishes, stairs, hand rails, locks, hardware, and flues, and (9) energy
<br />conservation - orientation, glazing, insulation, and shading.
<br />The review focused on the following areas and issues outlined in the chart on the top
<br />of the following page. The chart shows building components and conditions, as well
<br />as system components and conditions the assessment considered.
