Facility requirements for the University of Illinois, Chicago Undergraduate Division, were analyzed to estimate space requirements of the various departments of the Division. Standards used were established by assignment of areas to actual equipment, furniture, etc. , for specific usage of the space under consideration rather than assignment of space being based on a multiplier of a set square footage per student times the number of students assigned to the area at any one time. Proper functioning of a space was compared with the type of equipment used and the circulation space needed. Resultant room size was divided by the required number of students to arrive at an average student station size. Using this method , space required for classrooms, faculty, administration, laboratories and service functions were estimated for each construction phase of the expansion program. (BH)
