Special Use Spaces: Break and Mail Distribution

The special use space standards include:

  • an arrangement of furniture
  • clearances for use of the furniture.

The conference space standards do not include partial secondary isles because outside these private spaces are primary corridors or isles which will be added to the program requirements during departmental space tabulation.


Space Arrangements:
Break, files and storage rooms
