Recommendations: Review of Planning Criteria
634.3
It is generally true that if adaptability is to be provided, certain concessions
to future use must be made. Decentralized mechanical systems may
require more area. Circulation systems may be organized to
accommodate future uses and thus will not be tailored to a specific
solution. Factors such as these will tend to decrease the net-to-gross
ratio; however, they may not increase first cost and should reduce life cost
substantially.
634.4
The system discipline will also result in increased total area. Space
module and structural disciplines must be respected. Area requirements
may indicate that 4-1/2 space modules are required or that 15-1/2
structural bays are necessary on a particular floor. A method of allowing
increases in area to even module or span increments must be provided
within the space allocation system.
