2-1.2.3
Facility Type. Each of the three facility types (OAC, RC, and OCOR)
have different space requirements. Tables 2-2 2-6 are geared towards the OAC but
can easily be adapted to the RC or OCOR:
2-1.2.3.1
Space allocations for functional spaces congruent to both RCs and OACs
are equal. However, not all functional spaces required for an OAC are required for an
RC. Functional spaces that are not required for the RC are identified with an asterisk
(*). These should be subtracted from the totals when programming an RC.
2-1.2.3.2
OACs and OCORs have the same functional spaces; however, the space
allocations are different. Since OCORs may carry both outdoor recreation equipment
and home- and garden-type equipment, some areas such as display and storage will be
larger. Therefore, Tables 2-2 2-6 include a percentage factor by which to increase
total building area for the OCOR. Once the additional area for the OCOR has been
determined in m2 (ft.2), Tables 3-1 through 3-16 in Chapter 3 describe how to distribute
this area among the specific spaces. For example, if the factor in Tables 2-2 through 2-
6 yields a 100 m2 (1,076 ft.2) increase for a given OCOR, then Tables 3-1 through 3-16
will apply a certain percentage of that 100 m2 to the display area, a certain percentage
to the storage area, and so on.
