TOTAL HRS/WK SPACE TYPE IS REQUIRED
C = 105
(5) Determination of Number of Each Space Type. The number of each type of space required is
determined by using the formula N = c/uh as set forth in Chapter 2 (para 2-5b(5)). Utilizing the "C"
value established in Table 6-3, a 40 hour/week operation ("h" value), and a 0.8 utilization rate ("u"
value), the number of classrooms required is determined as follows:
105
N=
-- x 40;
N = 3.3
0.8
Rounded up to the nearest whole integer the number of classrooms required is 4. The same process is
used to determine the number of other instructional spaces required for the total project. The types and
number of academic spaces required for this example project are shown in Table 6-4. The occupant
load is also identified in order to help determine the requirement for toilet fixtures later on.
