Facility Management
Issues with selecting a location:
- Visibility
- Surrounding area and external entities
- Accessibility
- Natural disaster
Construction issues when designing and building a facility:
- Walls
- Doors
- Ceilings
- Windows
- Flooring
- Heating and Air Conditioning
- Power Supplies
- Water and Gas Lines
- Fire Detection and Suppression
Concerns:
The load - How much weight that can be held of a building's walls, floors and ceilings needs to be estimated and projected to ensure that the building will not collapse in different situations.
Positive flow (water and gas lines) - Material should flow out of building, not in.
Internal partitions - Many buildings have hung ceilings, meaning the interior partitions may not extend above the ceiling; therefore an intruder can lift a ceiling panel and climb over the partition.
