J. Systems Furniture This furniture includes interchangeable wall panels, desk components, and storage modules which combine to form office work stations. These stations allow for a reconfiguration of office areas when chapel staffs or programs change. Select systems furniture that easily integrates computer hardware. Systems furniture panels should incorporate integrated conduits for electrical and communications service to conceal unsightly wiring. Sound absorbent fabric panels will reduce background noise and provide a quiet work area. Finish work surfaces in plastic laminate or wood. Plastic laminate with a wrapped edge is an easily maintainable finish. ◆ Use systems furniture only in the staff support and religious education areas of the chapel. K. Lighting Natural and artificial lighting are important factors in creating a quality interior appearance. Lighting affects the perception of space, as well as the color of interior finishes. Design lighting to enhance the design scheme. The designer should provide natural and accent lighting in worship, counseling, and staff support areas. Include task lighting at office desks. Use high efficiency fluorescent lighting in place of incandescent lighting, except in worship areas. INTERIOR STANDARDS L. Communications Provide telephone and computer wiring to support fire alarm systems and other equipment listed in the Equipment Schedule (Table 4-B). Equip the facility with the capability for intercom, cable television, Defense System Network (DSN), facsimile lines, on- and off-base lines, and LAN connections. The designer should contact the base civil engineer and the base communications unit for specific requirements before planning major building upgrades or modifications. Incorporate these requirements in building design and modification specifications. ■ Use lighting in the sanctuary to accent the high ceilings and provide illumination for worshiper reading. 19
