B 1.1.3 Model Design

The project has four major components:

Major Components

Office modules

Specialized functions module

Circulation/utilities core

Vehicular parking and open spaces

The modular design allows flexibility in the physical planning of the project, without compromising functional efficiency, allowing the project to be adapted to the conditions of individual LGUs. In addition, future expansion may be carried out without disrupting ongoing operations. Design and performance standards shall be adapted for site development and interior space planning. These include vehicular circulation and parking, office work space allocations, personnel circulation, elevators, lighting, and ventilation. Table 3-11, Government Administrative Center Distribution, in square meters summarizes the space allocation of the above components.

The efficiency of an office building design is measured by the ratio of rentable space to total space. Average efficiency is approximately seventy percent (70%) while the maximum possible is eighty-five percent (85%). The efficiency of this building is 79 percent, i.e., of the total 6,000 square meter area, about 4,740 is leasable space. Based on this efficiency level and a 6-9 square meter per employee standard, the building can accommodate an average of 475 to 700 employees.
