mandate of preparing future defense and security leaders for high
positions of responsibility and command, and undertake
research and special studies as basis for the formulation of
policies to enhance national defense and security.
1.2 Pursuant to Acquisition Decision (ADM) Nr. 2018-011, the Office
of the Secretary of National Defense has permitted the National
Defense College of the Philippines to initiate the implementation
of the procurement for the NDCP International Student

within the compound of the NDCP, which covers building
structures, amenities, and other details.
1.3 The 4-storey NDCP International Student Dormitory and Multi-
Level Parking Building is part of the whole scheme to enhance
the NDCP’s capability to provide accommodation to NDCP foreign
students and family and parking space for students, in
congruence with the expansion of NDCP into the National
Defense University of the Philippines System (NDUPS).

7. DESIGN CRITERIA
7.1 BASIS OF DESIGN – ARCHITECTURAL
(a) The Architectural Design Concept for the proposed NDCP

International Student Dormitory with Multi-level Parking
presents the concept design development, and design
criteria to meet the project goals and objectives. The
following criteria shall set the minimum requirements of
the project. The Contractor may exceed the requirements
specified to suit the proposed schematic design. Any
drawings presented subsequently are recommendatory
and may further be modified to suit the CF’S construction
method.
(b) DESIGN REFERENCES - The design of the NDCP

International Student Dormitory and Multi-Level Parking
shall comply with the requirements of locally and
internationally accepted standards and best practices
enumerated below. In case of discrepancy on the
requirements and regulations, the one that gives the safest
design shall prevail, unless otherwise mandated by the
authority.
(i) National Building Code of the Philippines
(ii) Fire Code of the Philippines
(iii) NFPA 101 Life Safety Code Handbook latest edition
(iv) International Plumbing Code
(v) Time Saver Standards
(vi) Information provided by user
(vii) Field investigation
7.2 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
(a) The design philosophy of the proposed NDCP International

Student Dormitory with Multi-Level Parking Building is
anchored on the principle of creating a relaxing, socializing
and conducive environment that includes amenities of
105
modern family living. Fellowship, harmony and peaceful

coexistence among various nationalities are the
inspirations behind the building concept that is aim to
accommodate the growing needs especially of foreign
students who will undertake the one-year residence
schooling at NDCP. Each foreign student is assigned a
single accommodation enough to comfortably fit a
minimum family member of two.
(b) The building design employs green architecture, with an
atrium in the middle of the dormitory, which maximizes
the use of glass windows, thus employing the use of
natural lighting and contributes to the reduction of energy
consumption. The structure as a whole exudes lightness
and transparency, and suggests a home away from home,
where both the body and mind of the students are
simultaneously nurtured by the living and recreational
facilities inside the dormitory. Thus, the NDCP
International Student Dormitory will be the center-piece
structure in providing the beehives of learning and
socializing activities, especially during weekends. A warm
and sociable environment in the dormitory ensures that
personnel interact among themselves freely, learn to
extend mutual support when required, and develop close
friendly relations. Life in the dormitory is the bedrock of
the NDCP student academic success.
(c) The Multi-Level Parking building design must incorporate
an efficient functional layout that best utilizes structural
systems to reduce costs while providing a pleasant patron
experience. Some of the most important design
considerations include: internal functional layout,
parking space dimensions and number of spaces,
entrance/Exit locations, Isometric, operational
equipment, and floor slopes. It is critically important to
incorporate the highest security features into every aspect
of parking planning and design.
(d) The building design must also be compliant with Batas
Pambansa 344 (BP 344) otherwise known as “The Law to
Enhance the Mobility of Disabled Persons” and its
Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR).
(e) Provision for Solar Panels.
7.3 BUILDING DESIGN
(a) The NDCP International Student Dormitory with Multi-

Level Parking Building is a four-storey building with a
106
dormitory floor area of approximately 1,828 sqm and

parking area of 1,680 square meters building that houses
sixteen (16) units at the ground, second, third and fourth
floors. The Multi-level Parking can accommodate a
maximum twelve (12) parking spaces per floor for a total of
48 parking spaces. All building must be designed with a
R.C. roofdeck.
(b) The rooms are equipped with wireless internet connection

for electronic communication and research. The four-
storey dormitory is designed to house sixteen (16) units
per floor, it is envisioned to be a high-performance,
integrated dormitory building. Each unit has a western-
styled toilets and bathrooms with hot water facilities.

movements, and restrained dimensional changes. Design
loads and forces are those resulting from dead loads, live
loads and environmental loads acting in the most critical
115
combinations, using the appropriate load factors

recommended by the applicable code. The basic load types
and their corresponding magnitudes are as follows:

include the weight of all materials and equipment
incorporated into the building or other structure.
Dead loads are permanent loads in which variations
over time are rare or of small magnitude.

the use and occupancy of the building or other
structure and so not include dead load, construction
load or environmental load such as wind load, rain
load, earthquake load or flood load. Impact forces

of equipment’s weight (in cases where no impact
loads are provided to the designer.

adequate strength to withstand the lateral displacements
induced by the Design Basis Ground Motion, considering
the inelastic response of the structure and the inherent
