The office area will be comfortable, well-lit, with power and communications for 3 phones and two computers. A possible layout is shown in figure 1. It will be approximate 350 square feet with stations as follows:

 1) An administrative station/office which will be occupied by a desk, chairs, computer, phone, shelves, file cabinets, and such. The area required would be about 10x10 and is illustrated at the top left of figure 1.

 2) A communications/trainer station occupied by a desk, computer, two chairs, and two phones. The area required would be about 12 x 10 and is illustrated at the bottom left of figure 1.

 3) A workarea occupied by two large tables, a printer/copier, shelves, file cabinets, etc. The area required would be about 6x22 and is illustrated along the right edge of figure 1.

A wide variety of meetings and trainings are expected. Training will include: First Aid, AED, CPR, CERT, and mock incidents. Both lecture and practical training sessions must be supported. For many of these course segments, requirements set by the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross either directly or indirectly set requirements for the facility. The room must be well-lit; must not be excessively noisy, hot, or cold; and must be generally conducive to study and learning. The room must be capable of being darkened to allow viewing of material projected onto a screen. Tables and chairs will be provided to all students and instructors.

The practical segments of some courses (including CPR) are limited to a recommended Student-Teacher ratio of 6:1 and an absolute limit of 8:1. For those types of classes, the anticipated class sizes will be no more than 20 students, 3 instructors, and a couple of visitors or helpers. Figure 2 shows about 1000 square feet of training space arranged with 8x3 tables, chairs, and open floor space capable of supporting both the lecture and practical segments of a CPR course. For the practical segment, the front row of tables will be moved back to create more room in the front.

Material and equipment for Risk Watch, Fire Prevention, CERT, and other existing community education programs already fill well-piled areas totalling about 200 square feet. Those materials are now stored outside in trailers or shuffled around from borrowed space to borrowed space. The areas are congested, hard-to-access, often damp, and not well secured. With programs expected to expand, a dry lockable area or areas of about 800 square feet is required.

The areas above total 2150 square feet. Also required are restrooms, corridors, and such.

With a full CPR class in session and an administrator on hand, we have a routine condition requiring 24 parking spots. In addition to these 24 spots, there should be an additional ten or so "overflow" spots that could be used on rare occasions - perhaps a few times per year.
