Phase 2 Design

Each phase of the Perry Point Rehabilitation Center brought new ideas that were carried out to fit RRTP’s mission, goals and objective. The final design of the Perry Point RRTP was designed for maximum flexibility, in hope to more efficiently meet the rehabilitative needs of

Typical Patient Room + Shared Bathroom

Bathroom Interior

The patient bedrooms feature full size beds to avoid a sense of confinement that could be felt with a twin bed. The design square footage for the bathrooms did not provide for easy ADA access, but it is possible. Both rooms feature vinyl sheet flooring with a natural wood pattern for durability and easy cleaning, while still giving the image of a material found in the home.

Looking into the central entrance space, furniture adheres to the VA guidelines, where no sharp edges are incorporated and the furniture is heavy enough that it can’t be lifted and thrown.

In the nature space, perennials and foliage local to the area will be utilized with hanging foliage hiding the mechanical interstitial space. Visitors and occupants can enjoy this area and see everything around them, giving a sense of security.

The pool area incorporates skylights with splayed wells and protruding exterior glass to capture low profile sun angles. Recessed fluorescent fixtures are used around the skylights with downlights in between the rows of skylights. A curtain wall allows a clear exterior view while the solid walls hide lateral bracing and offer privacy at the same time.

On the second floor, this lounge is encompassed by a curtain wall on the north-facing facade, providing an exterior view and a space that encourages interaction as mentioned in our precedent inspiration. Occupants can see others entering the building as well as the rest of the Perry Point campus.

As patients walk to their rooms, the incorporation of nature continues. Two corridors on either side of the central area of the building have curtain wall facades on either side, giving the feel of an open area even though it’s dividing private wings from the central space.

On the south-facing facade, a curtain wall allows an exterior view of the Bay, providing an integration with nature and the built environment. Skylights and the nature space allow a lot of natural light to enter the space. The structural trusses and beams are exposed, opening up the central space even more.

Structural Floor Plan Exploded Axonometric of Structural System

Steel was selected as the structural system for this building due to its sustainability and ease of integration with mechanical and curtain wall systems.

Steel structure was also designed for the interstitial mechanical spaced due to its limited lay-down area.

Spring Summer Fall Winter

Being that the new Residential Rehabilitation Treatment Program building will be located in Perry Point, MD (39͒ N Latitude & 76͒ W Longitude), an Azimuth study was carried out first. The Vernal & Autumnal equinoxes and the Summer & Winter solstices were calculated for the respective times of 9AM, 12PM and 3PM as seen above. Sunrise and sunset azimuth angles were not taken into consideration, since they would be north of the building. The south-facing direct sunlight was of most concern for this project.

This second floor key plan will be used for the duration of these studies. For your reference, this space, highlighted in purple, is a private patient bedroom.

With regards to exterior shading devices, a light shelf system was constructed on the south-facing facade of the first floor. The shelf system went the entire way across the first floor exterior facade to block low altitude direct sunlight at non-zero azimuth angles relative to the facade. In addition, south-facing roof overhang calculations gave the ideal length extended outwards from the facade.

Summer Solstice Vernal Equinox

The roof overhang and light shelf system

successfully blocks direct sunlight at high profile angles, even in

the worst case scenario at 12PM. Both exterior

systems will reduce the overall building cooling

load and allow the patient’s view to be

preserved for no shades are necessary.

After doing many calculations and as seen in this study, direct sunlight is only blocked from May 7th to August 5th with the overhang provided. With almost 400 footcandles coming into the space, interior shading devices need to be looked into to reduce discomfort and cooling loads.

The light shelf system will have a semi-

specular finish in order to have deeper sunlight

penetration as seen in the office on the first floor. This will greatly

reduce the heating load. However, the roof overhang doesn’t

provide shade for the private patient rooms during any time of the

day.

Winter Solstice Natural and Artificial ImplicationsAdding solar fabric shades to the private patient rooms will absorb heat and keep it at the window until it dissipates into the room when needed. For winter months when the shades will be needed most, this application will be ideal. A view of the exterior will be maintained because of the dark fabric color as opposed to a light color.

Downlights were incorporated in not only the bedroom but the open central spaces as well. The Veteran’s Affairs wrote specific guidelines indicating either recessed downlights or recessed fluorescent fixtures should be used for safety reasons. No pendants or wall-mounted fixtures should be used at all in the building. The downlights pictured provided 200 lux to the work plane (desk/bed) so activities like reading would be easy with these light levels according to the IES Handbook. 200 lux is the minimum requirement for patient bedrooms.

Site Logistics Dewatering

During Construction: Sump Pumps

Post Construction: Underground Storage Tanks

During construction,

two sump pumps

will be installed on

both ends of the

building, carrying

water away from

the site to the

retention pond.

Post construction,

an underground

storage tank system

will be used to pump

water to the sewer

system and also as

a greywater

infiltration system

serving the building’

s needs.

To ensure a safe and properly thought out construction

process, a site logistics plan was made. Noise control will also

be accounted for, to not disturb the surrounding building and

the patients within them. A perimeter fence will surround the

site, to help reduce noise and prevent access. The plan shows

how workers, machinery and supplies will enter the site. A

sequencing schedule will be used to maximize the overall

efficiency of the crane and workers. Material Laydown and

equipment storage areas will be necessary for setting the steel

and interior materials of the building.

t Estimate Breakdown


The final cost estimate was obtained using an assembly

estimate. Square foot estimate has been used to determine

the cost at the design development phase.. The provided

table shows a cost breakdown of the building taking into

consideration the enclosed structure, lighting, and

interstitial space which has a large portion of the building

cost. Also, assembly estimate method was used to calculate

the cost of the pool which increased the cost of the building

significantly.

ty Means of Egress Plan: In case of an emergency, all exit routes are at their minimum requirements to

allow for the safe evacuation of patients and employees. All exit routes are continuous and unobstructed paths of exit travel at any place in the building. There is a total of four exit doors within the entirety of the building.
