Programming Coversheet Information Project Location Client

Programming Lobby (1) ……………………… 1000 to 1500 sf Ticket office (1)……………… Restrooms 200 Front office …………… A quantitative outline is not a complete program

Program Components Quantitative: Size / how many Qualitative: How space functions General character Special features – lighting / acoustics Adjacency Requirements strong relationship neutral relationship separate

Quantitative Lobby One space – 1000 to 1500 sf. Space size may be expressed in terms other than square footage which requires a conversion factor Example: Auditorium with seating capacity of 325 assume a gross area of 10 – 12 s.f. per seat

Qualitative A non numerical description Example: Lobby Public space that facilitates the transition from sidewalk to the auditorium.

Internal relationship diagram is too complex - simplify Think Internal

The four primary zones defined in terms of function and access. This is an extension of the program and is not site specific Backstage support The house Lobby and public support Public space Non public space Stage The link

Street Transition / buffer lobby offices Ticket window restrooms The house Diagramming each primary zone separately may be less confusing
