The impact of aging infrastructure and site on facility planning.

Infrastructure analysis should be a basic component of the facility master plan and specific information concerning the site and facility must be collected, evaluated, and analyzed at each phase of development of the master plan. The interpretation of such information can significantly impact the visibility of design solutions, department locations, construction phasing, and costs. This paper identifies the information to be collected, its potential impact on the master plan, and the facility manager's role during the planning process.

Interim life safety.

The field of life safety was developed by concerned individuals looking for a common cause in the loss of life during fires. Creating a safe building environment became their goal, which was partially achieved by studying egress, stairs, fire detection devices, and general occupancy. As long as the building design remains unchanged, the integrity of life safety remains. However, as buildings are subjected to renovation (both planned and unplanned), the integrity of life safety may diminish during the project. This decrease in life safety resulted in the creation of interim life safety measures. This document examines appropriate interim life safety measures.
