Space Slandards <br />Equipment demands, shared resources and work area standardization should support <br />specific job tasks. There is an efficiency and economic benefit to standardization. In the <br />planning process, it is important to identify general standardized elements for all <br />enclosed and open work stations. This allows the planning process to define accurate <br />spatial demands. By establishing initial space standards, we can improve the accuracy of <br />early space layouts. <br /> <br />Interdivisional Adjacencies <br />The successful layout has functional efficiency with built-in future flexibility The <br />correct adjacencies and interaction between staff within a department is imperative. The <br />necessity to interact with the public is also assessed. <br /> <br />Program Documentation <br />Phase I is based on the consolidation of all the needs assessment data into a working <br />document, which functions as a base line throughout the building process. The program <br />documentation for needs assessment will ultimately be incorporated into final concept <br />options and will reflect the current and future space requirements. <br /> <br />Phase I1: Concept Options <br />Facility options will be tested through basic schematic layout plans comparing the <br />spatial needs and their relationship to the existing city hall building. These are not final <br />architectural schematics, but clearly ,broad-stroke graphic options. The size, area, and <br />volume as illustrated in these schematics is the basis for estimates for the comparative <br />costs of each option. <br /> <br />Deparlmenlal Block Plan Layout5 <br />From the needs assessment data, the initial set of layout options will be on a total city <br />department area basis. The department area will be determined on the basis of the <br />individual staff areas plus circulation and service space requirements. There will be a <br />series of' these block plan layouts prepared to analyze various impacts. <br /> <br /> Work Station Layouts <br />Utilizing efficient work station standards, individual functional areas will be <br />diagrammed to meet the specific space needs of the city hail. Once a block plan <br />direction has been selected, these work station layouts will be provided to identify the <br />accuracy and the fit for generic work stations and the number of staff to be accommo- <br />dated. These work station standards are developed for basic furniture layouts and are <br />,used as the basis of square foot projections are estimating furniture and equipment <br />budgets. <br /> <br /> I <br /> <br />III <br /> <br /> <br />
