Special message to the Architects and Engineers:
Physical Plant must be involved in the design of all components of all new constructions and renovations.
Preliminary designs of Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Landscape, Fire Sprinkler and Alarm, Civil, Structural and etc., must be reviewed prior to proceeding with final designs. The University has stringent design restraints and specific processes, procedures and specifications and this document does not cover all situations nor is it intended to. It is a guide to assist you. Depending on the particular project our Physical Plant specs are negotiable to a degree in some circumstances.
Our intent here is multifold.
First: We build to specs far exceeding code and title 24.
Second: We seek buildings that are sustainable and as easy and inexpensive to maintain as possible. We build LEED equivalent at the least.
Third: We are responsible for all the underground utilities on campus-electric, gas, sewer, storm drains, irrigation, potable and non potable water. We have much knowledge and can be of tremendous help in the early stages. We know the University and its processes and policies well and wish to assist you in a successful project.
There are other documents you will need and we will provide:
§ Campus Master Plan
§ Campus Design Guidelines and Standards
§ Prints for Buildings
SIGN CRITERIA
The purpose of this sign criteria is to establish parameters for the design, materials, construction and installation of exterior building identification signs and addresses at the University of the Pacific.
DESIGN
The font is to be Adobe Garamond Pro with a slight stroke, upper and lowercase, left justified. Building names are to be 6” to 9” in height depending upon placement and viewing distance. Addresses are to be 12” in height per Fire Department, but if residential and near street can be 6”. For each proposed location, a photomontage showing the letters in the proper size and proper location must be submitted for approval.
MATERIAL
Letters are to be cut from ¾” thick 5052 aluminum alloy. Faces of letters are to be finished with #2 brushed finish and coated with Matthews polyurethane clear topcoat. Letters are to be mounted to walls with #10 x 24 aluminum studs, which have been threaded into the backs of the letters. All letters are to be mounted using ¼” spacers to stand them off from wall.
INSTALLATION
Letters are to be installed straight, level and true to the approved proposal drawing. Stud holes must be drilled a minimum of 2” deep and cleared of debris before applying the letters. Silicone adhesive must be applied to holes and studs to insure a permanent bond. If old letters were removed from wall area prior to installing the new letters, the wall must be cleaned and the holes must be filled before installing the new letters.
NOTE:
Any and all mechanical design / build projects shall include one year of water treatment service on cooling towers (as normal for such projects).

SECTION 08210
SECTION 08710
EDIT DATE: June 15, 2009
The purpose of this document is to support the equivalence of door hardware specifications for University of the Pacific. Products detailed herein are the standard of quality to be used on new project and renovations. Exceptions would include owners request for continuations of existing systems: i.e. – Existing key systems.
It is the intent of this document to provide guidelines for the architect’s specification section 08110, 08210, 08710 and the hardware for 08400. These items are to be coordinated to meet the requirements of life safety codes, ADA requirements and applicable building codes. Contact a local ASSA ABLOY Hardware Consultant for the preparation of the Door, Frame and Hardware specifications @ 1-415-306-9000.
The door hardware section 08710 preamble is to include the following:
“Prior to installation of hardware, manufacturers’ representatives along with the project architect shall arrange and hold a jobsite meeting to instruct the installing contractors personnel on the proper installation of their respective products. The meeting shall be attended by installers of mechanical hardware and electromechanical hardware for aluminum, hollow metal and wood doors. The meeting will cover the use of installation instructions, hardware schedule, templates and physical product samples.”
Note: Should you have any questions please contact Tom McInerney, University of the Pacific.
