Total Education
The list of vocational training spaces presented here is exemplary of a typical building program. See Table 7 - 35 for a
complete list of square footage requirements for each type of shop, at a given occupancy load.
A factor of 15% to translate net square footage into gross square footage has been included in all figures, instead of
appearing as a separate line item added to the net total, as is done in the ACES Design Guide.
