Company Space Distribution Analysis

After the completion of the space program and the site analysis, the programmer will have adequate information on the over all size of the company and the availability of the net square footage in the building. The next phase will be to analysis how the company will be distributed in the building. This information can be organized in a distribution table.

The importance of the distribution table:

to illustrate the locations of the organizational units within the building and their sizes

to illustrate the adjacencies between different organizational units

to illustrate the both the horizontal and vertical distribution of space

to illustrate location of expansion spaces and how they will be consumed over time

to illustrate the mobility of the organizational units over time

Factors to consider

to maximize the use of space on each floor and to reduce waste square footage

identify the organizational units that have special needs and avoid unnecessary mobility

areas with special constructions such as millwork

technical areas such as cabling and wiring

areas with environmental control or lighting

areas with plumbing requirements

to reduce overhead by grouping expansion spaces together for sublease or block off until consumption

Example

The illustration below shows the distribution of a company on 3 floors with the third floor as the street level floor. The company has 4 divisions that are color coded. The common used areas are located in the building core and are not included in this distribution.

The strategies used:

to meet the adjacency requirements of the units

to hold the division and its subunits together as much as possible

to maximize the use of each floor before using another floor

to group expansion space together and reduce overhead by enclosing these areas until they can be utilize

to reduce unnecessary mobility and keep all units with special constructions in the same locations
