3 Laundry Facility - Design

A. Program:The following are based on provisions for a dedicated, full service, on-
site Laundry Facility to provide dependable, continuous, consistent service for
guests and employees at the property.

B. Location:Position the Laundry Facility near the BOH Employee Facilities,


adjacent to the Uniform Issue Room and Valet (Garment Shop) and with suitable
connections for work flow.

1. Position adjacent to Service Corridor, near Service Elevators, Housekeeping


and Laundry Chute.

2. Locate with clear access to Receiving Area to accommodate installation and


replacement of equipment. Knock-out panels are an acceptable solution.

3. Provide shaft-ways and interstitial ceiling spaces for equipment supply air
and exhaust ductwork systems. See <15A>.

C. Space Configuration:

1. Avoid triangular or other unusual, inefficient plan configurations.

2. Provide rectangular spaces to enclose facility components with


maximum 2:1 ratio of length to width.

3. If columns fall within the space, provide area for an efficient layout to
comply with equipment size, clearance and workflow.

4. Design laundry and equipment locations to accommodate service


access and repair.

D. Size / Area:Estimate facility areas based on the following design criteria and
calculated laundry workload.

1. Workload Factors:

a. Business, Urban: 8.2 kg (18 lb.) per occupied room night

b. Resort (without beach facilities): 10 kg (22 lb.) per occupied room night

c. Beach Resort / Large Spa Facilities: 12.7 kg (28 lb.) per occupied room
night

2. Confirm actual materials and pieces to determine workload per room,


function area and F&B.

3. Workload Calculation: Determine the product in "pounds per day" (PPD)


assuming guestroom quantity at 80% occupancy utilizing one of the workload

factors above.

E. Laundry Spaces:Utilize the following table for programming Laundry Facility


spaces:

1. Laundry Spaces

2. Laundry Facility Adjacency

F. Laundry Circulation Corridor: 2.4 m (8 ft.) wide minimum without structural


clearance interference that would prevent equipment movement, installation,
maintenance and service.

G. Doors: Provide sufficient door opening, including vertical transportation and


passageway clearance to move retired equipment from the building and install

replacement equipment. Verify minimum clearance requirements with laundry
equipment manufacturer and installer.

1. Doors: Provide two, separate access doorways, each a minimum of 2.4 m


(8 ft.) wide, from the Laundry area to the Service Corridor. Ensure laundry
equipment will fit through doors, corridors and vertical transportation.

H. Steps, Stairs, Ramps & Slip Resistance:See <16>.

I. Acoustic Control:When a Laundry is planned, spring isolate ducts, pipes and


equipment suspended from structure to prevent sound transmission to adjacent
spaces. Do not locate Laundry under, over or adjacent to guestrooms and public
spaces.

J. Floors:When a laundry is planned, due to equipment weights and vibration,


design reinforced concrete floor slabs for equipment mounting and coordinate
anchorage requirements with laundry equipment vendor and structural engineer.

1. Slab Thickness: Typically, provide the following:

a. 15 cm (6 inch) and thicker slabs for water tanks and steam boilers

b. 30 cm (12 inch) or greater for solid-mounted washer-extractors

2. Raised & Recessed Floor Slabs: Not permitted.

3. Equipment Floor Supports: Provide sufficient mass to minimize and dampen


harmonic vibration between laundry equipment and building structure.

4. Provide dynamic loading data for washers to structural engineer.

5. Floor Slope: Provide level floors, except slope areas to drains.

K. Slab Waterproofing:When laundry floor slab is above grade, provide waterproof


membrane at troughs and floor drains.

L. Walls:Masonry construction, painted finish. Provide corner guards and wall


protection to prevent damage to corners and walls.

1. Corner Guards & Wall Protection: <9> Protect outside corners subject to cart
traffic with high impact resistant corner guards, (such as stainless steel) 10 x
10 x 150 cm (4 x 4 x 60 inch) high

M. Floor Drains: Space drains at 3 m (10 ft.) on center in troughs at washers and
extractors, but not directly under equipment. See <15A>. Locate floor drains for
the following:
• Laundry Chute termination area
• Provide galvanized steel trench grating with access to strainer
• Lint Strainers - provide at each drain
• Laundry Holding - soiled and clean

• Equipment Room

N. Ceiling Height:4.6 m (15 ft.) minimum. Verify height based on equipment size,
structural clearance, mechanical space requirements, maintenance and
operations.

O. Natural Light:Provide natural light source and comply with governing


regulations.

P. Finishes: Provide durable, easy to maintain and cleanable finishes such as the
following.

1. Floor:Sealed concrete

2. Base:Painted or vinyl base

3. Walls:Epoxy paint

4. Ceiling:Consistent with the facility (painted or acoustical tile)
