Chapter 9
Employee Services – Space
Requirements
Objectives
• After reading the chapter and reviewing the
materials presented the students will be able to:
• Identify employee needs and requirements.
• Identify facilities such as parking lot, cafeteria in
support of employee needs.
• Calculate space requirements in fulfillment of
such requirements.
Introduction
• The quality of employee services will affect
the quality of work life and the employee
relationship with the company
management.
• The location will affect the efficiency and
productivity of the employees.
• A neat clean restroom indicates a positive
attitude.
Parking Lots
•

The goal is to provide adequate space with a convenient location.
Three parking lots may be needed. 1. Manufacturing employee parking. 2. Office
employee parking. 3. Visitor parking.
One thousand feet takes an average of 4 minutes to walk.
Assign the closest parking space to visitor parking.
The facilities planner must incorporate the requirements of the ADA (American with
Disabilities Act) of 1989 in all aspects of planning and design of parking facilities,
entrances, restrooms, offices, and most areas of personnel services.
Once the number of parking lots and parking spaces has been determined there are
different ways to arrange parking. Large cars need a width of 10 feet, and length of
20 feet. Width of driveways are 11 feet for single lane and 22 feet for double lane.
Local building codes determine parking space size, and number of handicapped
spaces.
As a rule of thumb, a parking lot will be 250 square feet per number of parking
spaces needed.
Employee Entrance
• The flow of people into the factory is from their cars into
the plant via the employee entrance to their lockers and
to the cafeteria to wait for the start of their shifts.
• The employee entrance is where security, time cards,
bulletin boards, and sometimes the personnel
departments are located.
• Personnel offices and security offices will be sized at 200
square feet per office person.
• About one personnel person for 100 employees and one
security person per 300 employees are normal.
• Fig 9-4, page 218 shows a plant employee entrance with
security.
Locker Rooms
• Locker rooms give the employees space to change from
their street clothes to their work clothes and a place to
keep their personnel effects while working – coats,
lunches, street shoes.
• Showers, toilets, washbasins, lockers and benches are
all part of a well equipped locker room.
• The size of the locker room can be initially sized by
multiplying the number of employees by 4 square feet
per employee.
Restrooms and Toilets
• As a rule of thumb, one toilet is required for every 20
employees, and restrooms should be no farther than 200
feet away from the employee.
• One sink per toilet must be installed in every restroom.
• At a minimum, there should be a men’s restroom and a
women’s restroom in the office and factory.
• Special accommodations and provisions must be made
for people with disabilities as required by ADA.
• The size of the restroom is 15 square feet per toilet,
washbasin, and entryway, and 9 square feet for urinals
(fig 9-7, page 222).
Cafeterias or Lunchrooms
• A cafeteria feeds a lot of people in a short time. Cafeterias are
generally used in big plants (fig 9-10, page 224).
• Vending machines can serve very complete meals. A vending
machine with a microwave oven for special foods can provide
employees with many meal choices. Vending machines are usually
used for small plant lunchrooms.
• Mobile vendors are outside vendors who drive their specially built
pickup trucks. Only very small plants could use this service.
• Executive dining rooms are used to entertain special customers,
vendors, and stockholders.
• Off site dinning at local diners is attractive to many employees.
Companies discourage employees from leaving the plant at
lunchtime.
Recreational Facilities
• Health conscious employees are better
employees and companies are
recognizing this fact.
• Health facilities take space, and the plant
layout designer must talk with
management to understand what facilities
need to be included.
• The space required must be determined
and included in the plan.
Drinking Fountains
• Drinking fountains should be located within
200 feet of every employee and on an
aisle for easy access.
• Fifteen square feet (3 x 5 feet) should be
allowed for each drinking fountain.
Aisles
• Aisles are for movement of people, equipment and material and
must be sized for that use.
• For example, two way fork truck traffic means aisles must be 10 feet
wide(4 + 4 + 2 for safety).
• Two way people aisles must be at least 5 feet wide.
• Aisles should be long and straight.
• The major aisle of the plant may run from the receiving dock
straight through the plant to the shipping dock.
• Side aisles may be smaller but perpendicular to the main aisle (fig
9-11, page 226).
• Space allocation for the production aisles is accomplished by
increasing the total production space by a factor of 50%.
Medical Facilities
• Medical facilities vary from 6 x 6 foot first aid rooms to
full fledged hospitals.
• In smaller plants, first aid is handled by trained
employees at the plant.
• Medical emergencies are handled by the emergency
room at the local hospital or clinic.
• When a plant approaches 500 people, a registered nurse
is usually justified. One nurse would require a 400
square foot area.
• Nurses require facilities such as waiting rooms,
examining rooms medical supplies, and record and
reclining areas (fig 9-13, page 227).
Break Areas and Lounges
• If the lunchroom is too far (over 500 feet) away from groups of
employees, a break area should be provided.
• A break area in a remote area may be a picnic table, a drinking
fountain, maybe a vending machine and sometimes a ping pong
table that folds up and rolls away.
• There should be enough seats for everyone on a break.
• Staggered breaks will reduce the need for excessive space.
• Lounges are usually found in shipping and receiving areas for
visiting truck drivers to wait for their loads. Restrooms should be
conveniently close to the lounges to eliminate the need for drivers
walking through the plant.
• Lounges should be sized by multiplying the number of drivers that
could be waiting at one time by 25 square feet.
Miscellaneous Employee
Services
•
•
•
•
•
1. Training and educational facilities.
2. Child care services.
3. Hairstyling services.
4. Libraries.
5. Exercise and work out facilities.
