SPACE TYPES
There are many different types o f spaces in a building, and each type o f space has its o wn characteristics and requirements. This sectio n o f the WBDG pro vides info rmatio n and guidance o rganized by functio nal space types, which co mplements the WBDG Building Types pages. Fo r each Space Types page there is a discussio n o f the general attributes and requirements o f the space as well as example co nfiguratio ns, layo uts, and co nstructio n criteria. Space Types pages are also linked to related Building Types pages and Reso urce Pages that explain strategies, techno lo gies, and emerging issues relevant to that specific Space Type. Further, all WBDG design o bjectives: accessible, aesthetics, co st effective, functio nal/o peratio nal, histo ric preservatio n, pro ductive, secure/safe, and sustainable and their interrelatio nships must be understo o d, evaluated, and appro priately applied within the spaces. As such, each o f these design o bjectives is presented in the co ntext o f the o thers thro ugho ut the Space Types pages as they apply.
