Typical office occupancy levels range from 6–7 sq m per person. It is recommended that all of- fice buildings are designed to allow for 1 person per 7 sq m in the design of all building services. A word of warning however; if it is intended that the building should cater for a more dense occu-

pation of a call centre, trading facilities or other high density uses then densities of 1 person per 5 sq m may be reached and should be catered for. New ways of working, including coworking spaces fall into the limits.

D) CIRCULATION

To meet statutory requirements — it is common practice however to provide office circulation corri- dors wider than that required for fire escape provision.

Recommendation:

Means of escape: • 5 sq m per person (for calculation if office internal layout is not provided) (*1) • Escape route minimum clear width 1.4m / 0.6m per every 100 people (counted proportionally) (*1) • Escape door minimum clear width 0.9m / 0.6m per every 100 people (counted proportionally) (*1) • Stairs flight minimum clear width 1.2m / 0.6 m per every 100 people (counted proportionally) (*1) • Means of escape is usually the driving factor to achieve optimum size / layout of the floor space
