Office Space Metrics

Skip to end of metadata

These guidelines are intended as an aid in planning and assigning office space. They are not to be considered mandatory allotments, nor are they intended to imply entitlement, as actual space assignments will vary based on architectural and other space restrictions. Rather, these guidelines should serve as a reference for sound management decisions. These numbers are determined by the Space Planning Advisory Committee (SPAC).

The Regulations and Procedures Manual states the Lab’s official policies pertaining to the workplace.
