6-2 EXAMPLE DESIGN-SCHEME A FOR 6,000 MILITARY STRENGTH (cont'd)
(10) Gross Space Requirement. Gross space (GSF) is determined by allowing 15% of the total
NASF for academic, staff and support spaces for circulation, exterior walls, etc. Since space for the
building's mechanical equipment is not figured as part of the gross space, such space must be
determined separately and added to the gross total. Table 6-8 summarizes the space requirements for
this example.
