40 D k._ ;, compiled the information obtained from the questionnaire which had been validated during the interviews. The completed questionnaires were reviewed by SCP personnel and incorporated in the 1998 program document called the Staff and Space Summary. Programming Methodology Staff net space requirements were derived from the growth projections and existing standards utilized by Indian River County and many other counties of similar size throughout the state of Florida. Support spaces were tested in diagrammatic form to establish the area (net square foot) requirements for these spaces. Other key areas such as the conference center and food service (breakroom) were developed in diagrammatic form allowing for equipment, staff and circulation requirements. Common amenities were developed by a process similar to that used for other key areas, utilizing diagrams presented to and reviewed by the County. The diagram which best represented the program requirements established the net square foot allocation in the program. Building support spaces were sized by establishing criteria for population count and mix for restroom facilities, capacity, size and level of redundancy for machinery and equipment spaces and by applying historical knowledge of other projects of similar size and complexity for maintenance areas. Circulation, the net to usable (circulation) area factor was derived by applying historical knowledge of other projects of similar size and complexity. This factor was adjusted or deleted where internal circulation was already accounted for in the diagram for certain spaces. The factor used was 1.35 x net SF. Usable to gross area factor was derived by applying historical knowledge of other projects of similar size and complexity. This factor was reasonably constant throughout the program spaces. The factor used was 1.2 x department net equals GSF. This factor results in a building that is approximately 83.3% efficient versus the existing building which is approximately 69.9% efficient. Conclusions Staff Projections (both buildings): As of calendar year 1998, the county staff count is 280; 264 will be housed in the administrative building while 16 will be located in the purchasing building. zi As of calendar year 2001, move -in, the county staff count is projected to be 339; 319 will be housed in this administrative building while 20 will be located in the purchasing building. zi As of calendar year 2010, the county staff count is projected to be 401; 378 will be housed in the administrative building while 23 will be located in the purchasing building.
