Comprehensive Architecture and Engineering Services at Schriever Air Force Base Space Innovation and Development Center
SAIC played a key role in architecture, engineering, and interior design for the new 127,000-square-foot Space Innovation and Development Center.
Overview
The Space Innovation and Development Center is a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) simulation center that supports research in advanced space technologies. The 127,000-square-foot Space Innovation and Development Center (SIDC) facility was completed in two building phases. In Phase I, the 48,000-square-foot Space Test and Evaluation Facility (STEF) was completed. For Phase II, SAIC performed full architecture and engineering design services for the 79,000-square-foot Air and Space Integration Facility (ASIF).
The SIDC includes computer simulation and operations centers, SCIF areas, soundproof rooms, special-purpose areas, administrative offices, loading dock, storage space, remote mail facility, kitchenettes, and mechanical/electrical/electrical/communications support rooms for high-reliability utility support.
Along with architecture, engineering, and advanced communications systems services, SAIC provided comprehensive interior design packages for both facilities. The design and finishes were selected to coordinate providing a cohesive facility that takes into consideration sustainability, durability, and ergonomics. SAIC’s interior design services included:
- Space programming
- Site investigations and survey
- Design charrette
- Space planning
SAIC also provided sustainable/green design services. The sustainable design features include:
- Maximized open space
- Stormwater quantity control
- Light pollution reduction (shaded parking lot lighting)
- Water use reduction (low-flow toilets and urinals)
- Construction waste management (extensive construction waste recycling)
- Recycled content (high utilization of recycled materials)
- Indoor air quality (high utilization of low-emitting materials throughout building)
- Controllability of systems (extensive use of automated lighting and thermal comfort systems)
Other SAIC services provided include:
- Innovative audio-visual and graphics displays
- Antiterrorism/force protection measures
- Access control and intrusion detection systems
- Protected distribution systems
- Classified and unclassified networks
- Raised access flooring
- All conference rooms configured and equipped for presentation technology
