FACILITY REQUIREMENTS Airport administration operations currently take place in a temporary structure separate from the airport terminal building. The total area of this building is roughly 5,000 sf. New renovations have created nd approximately 4,250 sf of space on the terminal 2floor which could be allocated as administrative space. Additional space is available on the first level below the departure lounges, but this is utilized for IT and storage and is not practically located for other administrative uses. The sizing requirements for administrative space is wholly unique to the culture and operational structure of each airport administration. Industry standards propose 190 sf per employee. This space assumption includes all related uses such as circulation and gathering areas, and is only intended for use as a generic planning assumption. At the time of this writing, the airport administration is in the process of contracting an advanced workspace planning study which will help determine how much space airport administration needs now and into the future. Table 3-20 shows the current breakdown of administrative, storage, and miscellaneous space, but only carries forward those quantities and makes no planning assumptions as to future needs. 3.6.2.6Building Systems Building system spaces within an airport terminal building are necessary for the structure to operate properly, maintain a comfortable environment, and provide security. These areas include the required space for mechanical, electrical, and telecommunication equipment. For mechanical spaces, sufficient room must be allowed to adequately house the mechanical equipment that provides the heating, cooling, ventilation, electricity, communications, data, and plumbing needs of the building. Consideration should also be given to the plenums and chases that distribute these services from the equipment room or rooms to the remainder of the terminal. For this reason, the mechanical room or rooms should be located as centrally as possible while still allowing access for equipment to be replaced and maintained periodically without disturbing the public or interrupting the functioning of the terminal. For these reasons, the mechanical equipment rooms are often placed on an outside wall of the terminal and directly accessed from the outdoors via one or more large doors. Airport visioning identified building systems as an area of concern. Systems are aging and becoming inefficient, accruing additional maintenance and operations costs as they get older. Incorporating newer and more energy efficient systems will be a consideration throughout the alternatives development process. Energy efficient systems directly lower energy consumption and indirectly lowers GHG emissions. Utility spaces presently occupy approximately 9,480 square feet throughout the terminal. Utility space at EUG makes up 8 percent of the existing terminal building, which is consistent with architectural expectations. Carrying this ratio forward shows that future additions will require a similar percentage of the added space to house appropriately sized utilities. 3.6.2.7Other Space Airport visioning recognized the need to consider space for a future Federal Inspection Services (FIS) as well as charter operations. The aviation demand forecast did not identify any future international flights but preparing for the possibility and identifying potential spaces for such a facility is an appropriately pragmatic approach. This space could ultimately be co-located with the terminal building or a separate EUGENE AIRPORT MASTER PLAN 3-38
