The Space Module: Space Module Characteristics
Some plans may locate the sanitary facilities at the exterior wall.
A sample catalog has been prepared to show a variety of plan
arrangements of fixtures possible in each of the above options for the one,
two and four bedrooms. These plan arrangements also show the
accommodation of an interior column when a module type with a single
span plus cantilever condition is adopted (See figures 230-2, 5, 6 and 7).
232.6.3
Corridor
Corridor widths are 8'-0" clear.
232.6.4
Core
The core size may be varied: (a) by selecting a particular depth of
sanitary zone, (b) by selecting modules of different widths. The designer
will, in most cases, also have flexibility in allocating certain functions to the
core or additional space. These two options should allow sufficient
adaptability in accommodating program variations from facility to facility or
from unit to unit.

STRUCTURAL BAY WIDTH
The width of the structural bay, always 22'-6", is based upon a
dimensional discipline for bedroom widths of 4'-6" (see Figure 230-4.)
This dimensional discipline has been derived from a study of the
comparative critical widths for one-, two-, and four-bed rooms. (See
Figure 230-3.)
232.7.1
Four-bed Rooms
Four-bed rooms are 22'-6" wide, center to center, which equals 5 x 4'-6" or
one structural bay.
237.7.3
One-bed Rooms
One-bed rooms are 11'-3" wide, center to center, which equals 2.5 x 4'-6"
or one-half of one structural bay.
237.7.3
Two-bed Rooms
Two-bed rooms are 13'-6" wide, center to center, which equals 3 x 4'-6" or
three-fifths of one structural bay. Three bays are required to create a
block of five rooms.
