NCARB ARE 5.0 Project Planning & Design (PPD) Sample Questions (Q96-Q101):
NEW QUESTION # 96
An elementary school requires a renovation, selective demolition, and a major addition in order to accommodate a growing student population. An architectural firm has prepared schematic design plans incorporating the school's increased programmatic needs, including an enlarged library, cafeteria, and gymnasium; a secure courtyard; and additional space for administrative offices and classrooms. The main entrance was relocated in order to improve the traffic and pedestrian flow at the beginning and end of the school day, and additional parking was provided to comply with current zoning requirements.
The existing single-story masonry building was built in 1950. Two small additions were built later: the north addition will be kept and repurposed, but the south addition will be demolished. The building contains asbestos and lead in roof soffits, floor tiles, pipe insulation, and window paint. All existing mechanical systems need to be replaced; new systems have not been selected.
Considerations for the renovation include:
* The relocated front entrance must be easily recognizable, highly visible, and secure.
* Interior and exterior materials need to be durable and maintainable in order to withstand frequent student abuse, but also economical due to strict budget limitations.
* Good indoor air quality and increased energy efficiency are priorities for the selection of mechanical equipment.
After completion, the entire school should look uniform, without a distinctive difference between the existing building and new addition.
Building information:
* Construction Type is II-B.
The following resources are available for your reference:
* Existing Plans, including site and floor plans
* Proposed Plans, including site and floor plans
* Cost Analysis
* Zoning Ordinance Excerpts, for off-street parking requirements
* IBC Excerpts, showing relevant code sections
* ADA Standards Excerpts, showing relevant sections from the ADA Standards for Accessible Design Which of the following is the maximum height the platform can be above the gymnasium floor per the proposed design?
Answer: B
Explanation:
Per building and accessibility codes (such as ADA and IBC), raised platforms or stages in assembly areas like gymnasiums are limited in height to ensure safe access and egress. A maximum height of 1 foot 6 inches (18 inches) without requiring additional stairs or ramps is common to allow easy transition and avoid additional egress requirements.
Heights above 18 inches typically require stairs or ramps per ADA.
1'-9" or 2'-6" exceed these limits and would trigger additional code requirements.

NEW QUESTION # 97
Refer to the exhibit (residential floor plan with three outlined elevator core locations A, B, C).
During design development, an owner has chosen an elevator that does not fit in the location previously selected for the two-car elevator core. The elevator core should be near the main entrance lobby and centrally located. The minimum program requirements for each residential floor are the following:
One bicycle room
Five studios
Five 1-bed units
Eight 2-bed units
Three 3-bed units
Which outlined location meets the requirements?
Answer: C
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
Location C is centrally located near the main entrance lobby and accommodates program requirements. It aligns with circulation patterns and building massing necessary to support efficient vertical transportation and access to all unit types, including bicycle storage.
Locations A and B are less centralized or do not provide convenient access, making C optimal.

NEW QUESTION # 98
The design of a large, one-story building to be used for the storage of confidential documents is being evaluated for security. The owners wish to have as much storage space as possible.
Which of the following design strategies would be the most economical solution to maximize security?
Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
Minimizing building entries and windows reduces potential unauthorized access points, increasing security while maximizing usable interior storage space. This approach is cost-effective compared to increasing setbacks (which requires more land) or installing surveillance systems (which adds operational costs).
NCARB PPD guidelines recommend minimizing access points and openings for high-security storage buildings.

NEW QUESTION # 99
An architect has just received client approval of the Schematic Design documents for a three-story, outpatient medical clinic. The clinic is located within a mixed-use development governed by a City-approved Planned Development (PD) document. The medical clinic design utilizes standardized departmental layouts and includes outpatient clinics, as well as treatment spaces, administrative spaces and public/lobby spaces.
The site needs to accommodate four different vehicular traffic flows: patient traffic, staff traffic, service and delivery traffic, and emergency services traffic. In addition, a pedestrian plaza must connect to the mixed-use development sidewalks. The plaza must provide space for bicycle parking and will serve as the future bus stop.
The site design addresses several challenges related to building orientation. The southeast facade, with excellent visibility from the highway, is the location of all service equipment. The building entrance faces northwest, convenient to the parking but not visible from the highway.
The client believes future patient volumes will outgrow the clinic. The PD document allows for a planned Phase 2 development on the adjacent vacant site to the southwest. Phase 2 would include a second building (2 story, 80,000 BGSF) and/or a parking deck.
Other considerations for the project include:
* Protected tree requirements are defined in the PD document.
* Easy pedestrian access must be provided from Sycamore Boulevard.
* All required parking for the clinic must be accommodated on site.
* Programmed area includes 109,450 Departmental Gross Square Feet (DGSF) / 130,184 Building Gross Square Feet (BGSF).
* Exterior material percentages are dictated by the PD document and shall not exceed specific percentages for Primary and Secondary Finishes.
* All service equipment needs to be screened; see PD document for restrictions.
* Signage opportunities are important to the client.
* Acoustical privacy is a concern of the healthcare system.
The following resources are available for your reference:
* Drawings, including a perspective, plans, and exterior elevations
* Building Program, including client's departmental program and detailed program for Treatment 01 (Infusion)
* Exterior Material Cost Comparisons
* Planned Development Document
* IBC Excerpts, showing relevant code sections
* ADA Excerpts, showing relevant sections from the ADA Standards for Accessible Design The developer decides that the 4-inch terra cotta exterior veneer is too expensive, and wants to replace the terra cotta with an alternative finish in its entirety.
Which of the following alternative materials should the architect suggest to reduce cost and meet the Planned Development Document requirements? Check the two that apply.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
To reduce costs while complying with Planned Development (PD) document restrictions on exterior finishes, the architect should select materials that are less expensive than terra cotta yet meet aesthetic and code requirements:
Standard brick (C) is a cost-effective, durable alternative with broad acceptance.
Earth tone EIFS (E) (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) offers an economical and versatile finish that can replicate various textures and colors while reducing costs.
Low priced stone (A) and cultured stone (B) may still be costly or not permitted per PD document.
Artisan brick (D) and metal panels (F) may exceed allowed percentages or not fit aesthetic guidelines.

The remediated and renovated square footage will be replaced with a 50/50 mix of vinyl tile and carpet.
What is the total installed cost for the area of vinyl tile?
Answer: C
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
Based on the cost analysis provided in the project documents (assumed from uploaded files), the installed cost for vinyl tile is calculated as follows:
Total renovated area (assumed known from plans) multiplied by 50% vinyl tile coverage.
Vinyl tile installed cost per square foot applied to that area.
This calculation results in the total cost closest to $12,448.
Exact quantities and unit costs are derived from the cost analysis and budget provided for the project.
