2.7.2.1.4 The training center typically functions efficiently when
organized around a central lobby space, so that circulation
distances are minimized. The elevator and a stair should be
adjacent to the lobby in multistory training centers.
2.7.2.1.5 Administrative Adjacencies
2.7.2.1.5.1 Some of the administrative spaces should be adjacent
to the lobby. There is no receptionist, so a full-time office or the
recruiting/ retention office should be located to monitor the lobby.
Figure 2-12 Lobby and Full-time Office
2.7.2.1.5.2 Full-time offices should be clustered around unit
common space, and located on exterior walls to allow windows to
the extent possible. Fulltime offices that cannot be placed around
the unit common should generally be located on main corridors.
Multiple, smaller unit commons areas with offices surrounding them
are typically preferable to a single, large unit common, for reasons
of flexibility. It is preferable that all administrative areas are within
15 meters (50 feet) of a restroom.
