Not sure if this has been mention or not... Check out your local fire code for max occupancy. For example: 1 person per 100 sq ft Meeting this requirement may over ride other considerations. It can also depend on the type of building you lease or own.
I found out late in the process that warehouse space coded differently than office space. Check with your local building inspector AND fire marshal. It would sux if you wrote a plan for 2 people per 100 sq ft, bought furniture for such, then discovered you could only put in 1 person per 100 sq ft due to fire code. Getting business licenses can depend on successful fire inspections. ...depending on locality. -BrianR On Oct 3, 12:11 pm, HeatherO <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've heard designers/planners would say that people need a min. of 100sf of > "personal space" to feel comfortable.
