Chapter 12 GA Terminal/ARFF/ Sustainable Design

12.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The proposed facility is designed to accommodate three primary functions:

1. Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) equipment storage and maintenance;

2. Airport administration offices; and

3. General Aviation (GA) terminal and support facilities. All three functions are currently underserved by existing airport facility structures and a single new facility accommodating all three functions is viewed as the most economical

and efficient solution to the current need. Due to staffing constraints airport employees are required to serve multiple roles and in many cases required to serve all three functions in the facility simultaneously. The layout of the building is organized so as to separate these functions in accordance with public/private access requirements and to allow for connectivity between functions where appropriate to maximize operational efficiency. The building is divided roughly in half, with the ARFF storage and maintenance facility to the east and the two-level general aviation and airport administration facilities to the west. The ARFF area measures approximately 6,000 square feet and includes: Twelve (12) bays with space for 6 fire fighting and rescue

vehicles;

Storage along the walls and within a partial mezzanine floor above; and

A vehicle maintenance area within one of the 12 bays. The vehicle maintenance component is viewed as an important feature of the facility as the island location makes off-site maintenance and repair both time-consuming and expensive. An on-site facility will allow for quicker repairs at lower cost, resulting in enhanced safety at the airport.

Existing ARFF Building

Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Assessment


The western portion of the facility, totaling approximately 11,000 square feet, includes the airport administration/operations and general aviation terminal functions. The first floor is primarily dedicated to the terminal and general airport operations. A central service counter allows airport staff to simultaneously service terminal users, perform airport operational duties and maintain visual control of the internal and external areas of the terminal. Behind the counter exists offices and facilities required by the airport operations staff, who are responsible for the proper functioning of the airport, including aircraft parking and fueling, monitoring the airfield and terminal facilities and serving as the primary emergency first response team. These facilities provide a panoramic view of the aircraft apron area and are immediately adjacent to the entrance to the ARFF bays for quick emergency response. The general aviation terminal functions include: Landside and airside waiting areas and vestibules;

Baggage handling room;

Weather/flight planning room;

Space for potential future security screening;

Restrooms; and

General circulation. As leisure travel far outweighs business travel through MVY, the facility must accommodate both large numbers of passengers and pilots for peak summer days as well as large amounts of baggage carried by passengers. The waiting areas are sized accordingly and are oriented to provide views of the airside activity. The second floor of the facility is dedicated primarily to airport administration, with a program of spaces similar to the current airport administration building but sized and oriented according to actual and anticipated need. For example, the only existing conference room at the airport large enough to hold meetings of more than 6-8 people is not handicapped accessible. This facility features a new meeting room which is fully accessible and is adaptable to various size meetings through the use of movable partitions. Other features include a pilots’ sleeping area, a kitchenette to allow for the hosting of functions and an open floor plan to maximize visibility and security throughout the facility. Once the GA terminal/ARFF is operational, the small existing GA terminal building will be rehabilitated into offices for the Transportation Security Administration and the air carriers. Figures 12-1 through 12-4 illustrate various views and plans of the proposed GA terminal/ARFF facility and the rehabilitated existing GA terminal. Tables 12-1 and 12-2 present the space programs for the new and existing GA terminals.

12.2 ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN INTENT The architectural concept for the design of the building is to utilize simple massing, forms and materials to be in harmony with the surrounding airport campus, to acknowledge the historical use of the site and to be consistent with the character of Martha’s Vineyard as a whole. Natural materials such as wood shingles and painted trim dominate the south and east facades of the building, blending with the materials and character of the adjacent passenger terminal building and creating a harmonious airport complex/campus. Facing airside, the north and west facades combine these natural materials with an expressed steel and glass structure, recalling the airplane hangar architecture of the original navy base and providing primary views of the airfield from the interior waiting areas. The mass of the building, which is kept to a simple, hangar-shaped form with pitched roof so as not to compete with the appearance of the main passenger terminal, serves to unify the various airside and landside elements of the structure. The simplicity of the traditional airplane hangar concept continues throughout the interior of the facility. The open plan design is combined with open two-story spaces and balcony rooms above overlooking the primary lobby and waiting areas. This approach provides appropriately-sized public terminal spaces while encouraging visibility to maximize security. The long-span steel structure design is exposed to the interior, referencing the traditional hangar construction system while providing an economical structural system which maximizes flexibility and openness.



12.3 CODE CLASSIFICATION The proposed facility falls under the purview of the Massachusetts State Building Code, 6th Edition; the Americans with Disabilities Act; and the Massachusetts Barriers Board. Individual trade-related state codes such as plumbing, elevator and electrical also are applicable. As a mixed-use facility, separate code classifications for the ARFF storage and maintenance area and the general aviation terminal/administration area are required. The two areas will be separated by a 1-hour (fire-) rated partition located at the center of the building. All areas of the facility will be protected by fire detection and suppression (sprinkler) systems, will provide for adequate code-compliant emergency egress components and will be fully accessible throughout to persons with disabilities. The ARFF facility will be classified as S-1 moderate-hazard storage, as it is anticipated that the facility will be utilized for equipment maintenance operations. No high hazard or hazardous materials of any significant quantity will be stored at this location. The terminal portion of the facility will be classified as A-3 assembly occupancy for all areas, including administration offices. This classification will allow for the two-story spaces desired while providing appropriate safety for the building’s occupants. Per the above classifications, the maximum building height for both portions of the facility is 120’-0” and the structure can be up to three stories per Table 1203: only two stories are being proposed with a building height to the roof ridge of 33’-0”. The allowable area of each floor (assuming fire separation of the S-1 and A-3 areas as discussed above) is 16,800 square feet: total maximum floor area being proposed is 12,600 gross square feet. The concept design complies with applicable primary code requirements. Detailed code issues will be addressed as part of the future preliminary and final design processes.

12.4 SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGIES: VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION There are many opportunities to incorporate Sustainable or “Green” Design strategies into the planning and design of the new GA terminal/ARFF facility. The selection of which strategies are best suited to this particular project and the methods by which they will be implemented will be further studied during the preliminary and final design stages of the project; however, airport management is committed to investigating thoroughly the various possibilities and understands the following benefits would ensue through the use of sustainable design strategies: Environmental Benefits: Protection of the ecosystem, biodiversity and air/water

resources while reducing solid waste and conserving natural resources.



Economic Benefits: Reduction of operational and energy costs, improvement in employee productivity and satisfaction, increase in building value and utility and generation of positive public relations.

Health and Community Benefits: Improvement in the quality of air, thermal and acoustic environments which enhance occupant comfort and health. Reduced strain on the island infrastructure and sole-source aquifer through energy- and water-efficient designs.

Based on the initial concept plan for the building and related sitework, a number of sustainable design strategies appear to be in concert with the proposed development and will be aggressively pursued during the design process: Demolition. Existing structures and pavements on-site can be recycled or

reused. Existing pavements may be crushed and used as subbase for new surfacing. The existing building is primarily a wood frame structure and can be sorted for recycling off-site.

Building Orientation. The building is oriented with the long axis in the east-

west direction consistent with a good passive solar design strategy. Major windows are situated on the north face to minimize solar heat gain during the summer months while maximizing natural light.

Water Use Reduction. Plant selection shall utilize indigenous species so as to

be in harmony with the surrounding environment and so as not to create a demand for water beyond what the natural environment typically provides. Low-flow plumbing fixtures will be provided. Roof water collection systems and/or gray-water systems will be investigated further as a source for non-potable water needs associated with the ARFF facility, i.e., washing, cleaning and so on.

Energy Efficiency. The facility envelope and systems will be designed in

accordance with the MA State Energy Code, providing greater energy efficiency than was previously the standard. In addition, the use of high efficiency HVAC equipment linked to a computerized building management system will be investigated as means of cutting long-term operating costs and energy demand.

Renewable Energy. Geothermal, wind and solar energy strategies will be

pursued to provide a portion of the facilities energy needs. A geothermal heat pump seems a most likely candidate as radiant floor heating is viewed as a system appropriate to the planned building use. Harvesting solar energy is also a possibility and the conceptual design for the roof system is specifically arranged to promote the possibility for incorporating photovoltaic panels and/or passive solar heating strategies. Wind conditions at the airport may be conducive to wind turbine technology but height restrictions (protecting the navigable airspace surrounding the airport) may be a limiting factor.



Materials. The use of materials which are recyclable, high in recycled content and/or rapidly renewable will be considered thoughtfully during the design and construction phases of the project.

Lighting. The building is oriented so as to take advantage of natural daylight,

which will reduce the energy costs and heat gain associated with artificial (electric) lighting. Occupancy sensors linked to daylight controls will be utilized in the final design to ensure energy is not wasted. Methods for controlling the number and usage of exterior lighting so as to minimize light pollution will be balanced with airport-related safety and security requirements.

Consistent with the desires of the Martha’s Vineyard community as a whole, it is the intent of this project to utilize as many sustainable design strategies as is practicable. As an airport environment presents numerous challenges specific to this building type, especially safety and security, sustainable design strategies will be weighed carefully so as to be in harmony with the overall needs of the facility.

12.5 SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STRATEGIES: HORIZONTAL CONSTRUCTION While horizontal construction, i.e., grading, pipe-laying, paving and so on, is not as fertile a field as vertical construction in regards to sustainable design strategies, a number of measures are available and will be pursued by airport management. These include the following: Reclamation/Recycling. A major objective of the Martha’s Vineyard Airport

Improvement Program is to reclaim/recycle as much material as possible. This objective has both environmental and economic connotations: recycling minimizes the strain on finite resources, has the capacity to reduce truck trips thereby reducing traffic and air quality impacts and is simply in keeping with the island’s environmental aesthetic.

Since most construction materials are imported to the island by barge and ferry, recycling wherever possible makes good economic sense by reducing the need to import off-island materials. Recycling = fewer imported materials = lower material and construction costs.

o Bituminous Pavement. Existing bituminous pavement will be crushed and blended on site with sand to produce a crushed aggregate base course.

o Soils. All excavated soils will be stockpiled or immediately redistributed

on airport property. All suitable excavate will remain on-airport for future use.

o Concrete Structures. Excavated concrete pipes, ducts, drainage structures

and building structures most likely will be delivered to on-island



recycling center where the materials will be crushed and recycled. There is a possibility that a contractor would set up this crushing and recycling operation on-airport if it is deemed cost-effective. Such an on-airport operation would reduce truck trips and possible roadway congestion during the peak summer months.

o Trees and Shrubs. All trees and shrubs will be chipped on-site and

stockpiled on-airport for future airport use as mulch, compost, vegetative matter and so on.
