signals.
Description: Includes spaces generally called TV studios, radio studios, sound studios,
photo studios, video or audio cassette and software production or distribution rooms, and
media centers. These spaces have a clearly defined production or distribution function
that serves a broader area (e.g., department, entire campus) than would a typical service
room. Include electronic visualization studios or facilities in this category if the primary
use is the production of media rather than a student-focused learning experience.
Limitations: Does not include spaces that merely store media materials and equipment.
Such spaces would be coded as Media Production Service (535) spaces if serving the
primary production or distribution room, or the appropriate service category for space(s)
they serve. Radio or TV broadcasting areas, simulation laboratories, and other media
spaces used for teaching broadcasting to students should be coded as laboratories (see
Class Laboratory-210, or Open Laboratory-220). This classification also does not
include centralized computer-based data processing and telecommunications equipment
facilities (see Central Computer or Telecommunications-710). |
| 53500 | Media Production Service | Definition: A space that directly serves a media production or distribution space as an
extension of the activities in that facility.

series). Also does not include first aid treatment rooms that serve other primary activity
areas, e.g., Athletic or Physical Education Service (525), Day Care Service (645). |
| 55005 | Demonstration | Definition: A room or group of spaces used to practice, within an instructional program,
the principles of certain disciplines such as teaching, child care or development, and
family and consumer science.
Description: The key criterion here is practice activity within an instructional program
that closely simulates a real-world or occupational setting. Includes demonstration day
care and development centers, laboratory schools, and family and consumer science
houses when these facilities are used for practice as a part of postsecondary training or
instruction.
Limitations: Does not include day care and development centers that are not used as part
of an instructional program (see Day Care-640). This category also does not include
laboratories (see Code 200 series) that are used for direct delivery of instruction as
opposed to practice. Demonstration schools, laboratory schools, day care centers, and
family and consumer science houses in which students serve as the subjects for a
research study are classified as Research/Nonclass Laboratories (250). |
| 55505 | Demonstration Service | Definition: A space that directly serves a demonstration facility as an extension of the
activities in that facility.
Description: Includes facilities generally called storerooms, pantries, etc., in a family
and consumer science facility; and kitchens, lockers, shower rooms, etc., in a laboratory
school. Similar support spaces that directly serve primary care and training areas in a
demonstration day care center (see Demonstration-550) are included in this category.
Limitations: Generally, the primary activity areas such as kitchen, dining room, living
room (in a family and consumer science house), or classrooms, laboratories, gymnasia
that serve nursery, elementary, or secondary school students (in a laboratory school)
should be designated as Demonstration (550). Primary care and training areas in a
(practice) day care center are also Demonstration (550) spaces. Kitchen and food
preparation spaces in a demonstration day care facility are classified as service areas.
Eating or break rooms for staff in demonstration day care centers are classified as
service areas other than Demonstration Service (555); eating or training spaces for
children are classified as primary activity areas, Demonstration (550).
|
| 56005 | Field Building | Definition: A barn or similar agricultural structure used for animal shelters or for the
handling, storage, or protection of farm products, supplies, vehicles, or implements.
Description: Includes barns, animal and poultry shelters, sheds, silos, feed units, and hay
storage. Structures are typically of light-frame construction with unfinished interiors and
are frequently located outside the central campus area. Also includes storage space for
farm vehicles and implements. Service areas that support field buildings are classified
within this category.
Limitations: Animal facilities directly supporting research or instructional laboratories
should be coded Animal Facilities (570). Location of a building, on or off the main
campus, is not sufficient justification for classification as a field building. Finished
spaces with other uses (e.g., laboratories, classrooms, etc.) should be coded as
appropriate. Does not include buildings that house nonagricultural or non-farm-related
vehicles (see Vehicle Storage-740). |
| 57000 | Animal Quarters | Definition: A space that houses laboratory animals used for research and/or instructional
purposes.

light-transmitting material, that is used for the cultivation or protection of plants or
seedlings for research, instruction, or campus physical maintenance or improvement
purposes.
Description: The primary criterion here is the combination of structural design as a
greenhouse and the use for cultivation or protection. An example would be a greenhouse
that serves as a laboratory or service area for a botany or other (e.g., horticulture)
educational program. This category includes any facility serving the greenhouse function
(e.g., warehouse facilities equipped with special lighting controls for the cultivation or
protection of plants).
Limitations: Greenhouses that are not used for plant cultivation or protection should be
classified according to specific use (e.g., a greenhouse used for central storage should be
coded Central Storage-730).

judging pavilions that are used primarily for general presentations (speakers),
performances (dramatic, musical, dance), and devotional services. Seating areas,
orchestra pits, chancels, aisles, and stages (if not used primarily for instruction) are
included in and usually aggregated into the assembly space. This category also includes
chapels located in health care, residential, or other facilities. Institutions may wish to
separate the seating area from the stage and other specially configured areas through the
use of additional codes.
Limitations: Stage areas used primarily for instruction or practice (dance, music,
drama) are typically coded separately as laboratory space (see Codes 210, 220).
Assembly facilities that are used primarily as instructional lecture halls are classified as
Classroom (110) space. |
| 61500 | Assembly Service | Definition: A room or area that directly serves an assembly facility as an extension of
the activities in that facility.

institutional population and the public. Planetariums used primarily for exhibition are
also included in this category. Planetariums used primarily for research should be
classified in the Laboratory Facilities (Code 200) series.
Limitations: Displays that are intended only for instructional purposes and not for
general exhibitions (e.g., departmental instructional displays of anthropological,
botanical, or geological specimens) should be classified as laboratory or laboratory
service (see Laboratory Facilities-200 series). Does not include bulletin boards and
similar temporary or incidental displays in hallways, student centers, etc. Also does not
include collections of educational materials, regardless of form or type (e.g., books,
tapes, soils collections), that are study resources (see Stack-420) as opposed to
exhibition use. |
| 62500 | Exhibition Service | Definition: A space that directly serves an exhibition facility as an extension of the
activities in that facility.
Description: Includes preparation workrooms, storage rooms, vaults, etc., that serve
general exhibition areas (see Exhibition-620).

part of an instructional program are classified as Classroom Service (115) or Laboratory
Facilities service areas (see Code 200 series). |
| 63000 | Food Facility | Definition: A space used for eating.
Description: Includes dining halls, cafeterias, snack bars, restaurants, and similar eating
areas, including such areas in residence halls, faculty clubs, etc. This category includes
facilities open to students, faculty, staff, or the public at large. The primary distinction of
a Food Facility (630) area is the availability of some form of accommodation (seating,
counters, tables) for eating or drinking. This is, therefore, an area intended for the actual
consumption of food and drink. Vending areas with seating, counters, or tables and sitdown
lunch or vending spaces that serve a shop facility are included in this category.
Limitations: Vending areas not provided with seating, counters, or tables are classified
as Merchandising (660) or with the appropriate service code if the vending directly
supports or is adjacent to a specific space for consuming the products (e.g., a Code 635
vending space serving a Code 630 dining hall).
Limitations: Lounges (650) with vending machines that are incidental to the primary use
of the space (i.e., relaxation) are coded as part of the lounge, if within the space, or as
Lounge Service (655) if separate from and directly supporting the main lounge facility
(see Lounge-650). Break rooms serving specific office areas are classified as Office
Service (315). Eating areas for children in demonstration or day care facilities are
classified as primary activity categories within these respective areas (see
Demonstration-550 and Day Care-640); staff-only eating or break rooms in these
facilities are classified as service areas (see Demonstration Service-555 and Day Care
Service-645 |
| 63005 | Vending Area | A room with vending machines and facilities for food purchase and consumption.
|
| 63500 | Food Facility Service | Definition: A space that directly serves a food facility as an extension of the activities in
that facility.

food facility or eating area (see Food Facility-630). Kitchenettes in residence facilities
that do not serve a dining area are classified as Sleep/Study Service (935). Service areas
for vending spaces are classified as Merchandising Service (665). Kitchens and food
preparation areas in demonstration or day care facilities are classified as service areas for
those facilities (see Demonstration Service-555 and Day Care Service-645). |
| 64000 | Day Care | Definition: A space used to provide day or night, child or elderly adult care as a
nonmedical service to members of the institutional community.
Description: Includes all primary activity spaces that provide oversight, supervision,
developmental training, and general personal care for assigned children or adults (e.g.,
play areas, nonstaff eating areas, and child training spaces). This type of facility serves
as a central service center for faculty, staff, and students, with members of the
community being served as needed. This is not a medical care facility (i.e., medical
attention is strictly limited to maintaining prescribed medication schedules and providing
first aid).
Limitations: Does not include those support spaces (e.g., storage rooms, closets, and
pantries) typically used as service spaces (see Day Care Service-645). This category also
does not include demonstration houses, laboratory schools, or other facilities with a
primary function of providing practice for postsecondary students as part of the
instructional process (see Demonstration-550). Also excluded from this category are
those service areas classified as Central Service (750), and Laboratory Facilities (Code
200 series) that directly support instruction (e.g., vocational training programs for parent
education and early childhood education). |
| 64500 | Day Care Service | Definition: A space that directly serves a primary activity space in a day care facility as

of people, unit, or area.
Description: A lounge facility is typically equipped with upholstered furniture,
draperies, and carpeting, and may include vending machines. This general use lounge
differs from an office area or break room lounge (see Office Service-315) by virtue of its
public availability. If a space is equipped with more than one or two seats for a seating
area and intended for use by people visiting or passing through a building or area, it is
coded as a Lounge (650). Such a space may have vending machines even though the
primary use of the space is rest, relaxation, or informal socializing, not eating.
Limitations: A lounge facility is distinguished from a Conference Room (350) and a
Meeting Room (680), both of which are intended for formal meetings, by its more
informal function of rest, relaxation, or casual interaction and its public availability. A
lounge area associated with a public rest room is included with the rest room as
nonassignable (building service area) space. A space devoted to vending machines
without accommodation (seating, counters, or tables) for local food or drink
consumption is classified as Merchandising (660). A lounge that directly serves a
specific or restricted area is classified by the appropriate corresponding service code
(e.g., a lounge serving an assembly facility is classified Assembly Service-615). A
lounge differs from a nonassignable lobby in placement, use, and intent. A Lobby (W05)
is generally located at a major entrance with openings to either hallways on more than
one side or in front of elevator banks; and although it may have seating furniture, it is
designed more for passing through (or having standing conversations) than for sitting
and relaxing. Separate waiting rooms in other than health care facilities are classified

Facilities (630). A vending machine space that directly serves a dining, lounge, or other
primary activity area is classified with the appropriate service code; a vending machine
area within a general use lounge is included in the Lounge (650) space. Vending areas
that include accommodations (seating, counters, or tables) for consuming the products
are classified as Food Facility (630). Meeting and conference rooms in hotels or motels
are classified as Meeting Rooms (680). Sleeping rooms in hotels or motels are classified
in the appropriate category of Residential Facilities (Code 900 series). Cashiers’ desks
that serve a specific recreational facility or area are classified as service space for that
area (see Codes 670 and 675). Day care centers used for practice within an instructional
program are classified as Demonstration (550). Day care centers that are not part of such
a program are classified under Day Care (640). |

| 68000 | Meeting Room/ Non Class | Definition: A room that is used by the institution or the public for a variety of nonclass
meetings.
Description: The key concept here is public availability. Conference Rooms (350) are
often confused with meeting spaces because they are both primarily used for nonclass
meetings. However, conference spaces are restricted service components of an office
complex or used by office occupants of a specific area and are generally limited to staff
meetings or other departmental nonclass activities. Although it may be assigned to a
specific organizational unit, a meeting space is more available and open to study groups,
boards, governing groups, community groups, various student groups, nonemployees of
the institution, and various combinations of institutional and community members.
Meeting spaces in institutional hotels or motels and other for-fee meeting spaces are

Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) may be one of a group of spaces that
constitute a center for delivering data processing or telecommunications services to
various levels of user groups. Although the ongoing primary activity of this category is
tied more closely to equipment than human activity, these areas require technical support
staff, and physical access may be restricted to these personnel. These central equipment
spaces appear most frequently at the campus-wide and large organizational unit levels
and are generally subject to environmental and security controls and procedures limiting
users to remote access. Includes central rooms housing a computer or computers (e.g.,
large mainframe, server farms, etc.), peripheral input (e.g., data entry terminals, tape or
disk drives, data reading equipment, monitors, etc.), and output devices (e.g., printers,

a primary activity room or room group; for example, a paper storage room (see Office
Service-315) can serve several Offices (310) in an area. Service storage rooms are
somewhat closer to the areas they serve and are used more than occasionally. Central
storage areas include areas commonly called warehouses, surplus storage, central
campus supply or storage, and inactive storage. A storage space used to store bulk
janitorial supplies would be included in this category. It also includes storage rooms in a
building or building area that serve multiple space use categories and that are used for
general or surplus (e.g., furniture, equipment) collection or storage. The 730 code can
usually be used for all assignable storage areas that do not qualify as service spaces.

of more than one building. Institutions may wish to differentiate individual central
services through the use of additional codes in this series. Most of these centralized areas
have a campus-wide service scope.
Limitations: Does not include those spaces providing the above listed functions if they
support other primary activity spaces in the same building. For example, a food storage
area in a cafeteria should be coded as Food Facility Service (635); a laundry room in a

mechanical functions for the building. These areas range from large rooms co-located on
a mechanical floor or basement area to small closet spaces distributed throughout the
building. Such areas, while generally located within the exterior walls of a building or
as an accessible roof structure, may be separately housed adjacent to the structure that
they serve. They include such areas sometimes referred to as electrical, meter, network,
or telecommunication spaces. Some may prefer to identify these specific spaces
separately and may do so by adding them as subcategories of this space use.
Limitations: Air inflow or outflow shafts within or immediately adjacent to the building,
with a minimum ceiling height of 3 feet, fall under the nonassignable space use Shaft

which cannot be occupied or put to use. (See section 3.2, Definitions of Building Areas.) Institutions may
wish to include this area using the ZZZ code to have a complete inventory for all the building areas that
add to the Gross Area total for a floor and for a building.
• Definition: The sum of all areas on all floors of a building that cannot be occupied or put
to use because of structural building features. This area is the algebraic difference
between Gross Area and Net Usable Area. Examples of building features normally
classified as structural areas include exterior walls, fire walls, permanent partitions,
unusable areas in attics or basements, or comparable portions of a building with ceiling
height restrictions, as well as unexcavated basement areas
• Limitations: This area is not measurable but can be calculated by the formula: |
