nt ic. of sects
sets consist of personnel, furnishings and equipment
and required space, either inertial or active. Assets
compiled on Forms 2205 and 2205A in a format designed
to facilitate the conversion of assets into space needs.
This form was used in developing the space requirements for
the Headquarters building and was sub i;tteed on theZ(ey,
Magazine and Amo5 Buildings. The degree of detail associated
with the forms reflects the neceMMity to account for signifi-
cant requirement divergencies between functions, grades, fur--
nishings and equipment.
2. Peveelea nt
on___Crt
a. -ssets have certain comeionalities which may take
the form of function, grade, desks, safes, tables, etc.
Criteria are being devised to account both for corsm.on-
aali.tieai and divergencies.
b. The concept, developed in coordination with
architects, envisages "core assets" represented by basic
furnishings, aisles and doors. in turn, the core assets
Iced in terms of work positions and "safe
nts", as they may be modified by either function,
on or other type of divergency. The use of safes
purpose was twofold: the safes occur with a
`y than other items y and the space occupied
-n open safe (2' x 5') can be converted easily into
space for other types of office furnishings.
o. The development of this concept has been related
directly to space configuration characteristics associated
with efficient engineering design layouts. For example,
an effective office space layout is basically designed
in measurements of 25 square feet (5' x 5') with possibly
a lineal depth of 25 feet between major traffic corridors
between a major traffic corridor and the outside wall
P the building. This type of data can be translated
into a range of enclosure sizes, beginning with a minimum
enclosure of 10 feet x 10 feet.

d. A scaled layout of possible enclosure sizes
(limited in size only by the dimensions of the building)
in conjunction with the known measurements of furnish-
ings and equipment form the basis for ascertaining
factors of asset equivalency to any size of enclosure.
Thus, the enclosure size will impose a constraint upon
the maximum number and type of assets (modified by
functions) that can be allocated to the space.
Uses of space Criteria
a. allowances for office space have been developed
for type positions held and for GS-15's and above not
ed by position allowances (Exhibit 1). This criteria
e applicable except where the cited office furnishings
sued the core assets of the enclosure (i.e., a con-
ference area required within a branch chief ! e office).
in that situation additional space allowances would be
made.
b. Analysis of all other work stations would be
based on the criteria attached as Exhibit 2. The core
assets in this instance include the following:
(1) Desk and chair for each work position.
(2) Table (4' x 3').
) Coat racks as a function of the number
son.ne:
(4) Doors as a function of the size and use
of the enclosure.
size.
see space as a function of enclosure
(6) Safes equivalents as a function of a
mixture of safes and other type furnishings.
c. The procedure for (b) above is to verify the
number of work positions and check whether the core
to equal the required furnishings in the criteria.
equal the number of safes are counted. There are
then two figures: number of desks and number of safes.
The desk column is used on Exhibit 2 to ascertain the
lowest size enclosure which will accommodate the required
umber of desks and accompanying safe equivalents.

d. If the cited data of Form 2205 does not match
assets, substitution is performed by conversion
k cases, extra tables, etc., into lineal feet
equivalents. This, again, results in a stated
if work positions and safe equivalents to be
=d on Exhibit 2 and ultimately equated with enclosure
9. if core assets are greater in number than data
d in 'orzn 2205, the added difference in space is
to reduce the amount of space needed for the n
fee.
4. t3ecia Purpose Space
Special purpose space consists of comunications areas,
laboratories, dark rooms, computer centers, etc. The factors
differentiating special purpose from office type space involve
engineering characteristics which require different construe--
tion,, air conditioning or ventilation loads, utility loads,
etc.
5. Forms 2205 and 2205A will be reviewed for apparent error.
Occupied space will be compared with computed space require-
ments throughout the asset-to-space conversion process to
assure that significant differences stem from conditions of
overcrowding or from under use of space.
