Ill. Admin. Code tit. 44 § 5000.340

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 45, November 8, 2024

Section 5000.340 - Space Allowance and Standards

a) In Appendix A, DCMS is providing space standards that support efficient and cost-effective use of facilities, support flexibility, and provide employees with productive work environments. These space standards dictate the allotment of individual, collaborative, and support space. In planning office space, size and layout shall be consistent with the standards listed in Appendix A. Agency implementation of these space standards shall be done in cooperation with DCMS and shall support the needs of the agency. These DCMS space standards are implemented to reduce costs, optimize the State facilities portfolio, and minimize construction costs, while providing employees with better workspace in which they can collaborate, focus, and serve the citizens of the State of Illinois.

b) These standards shall apply to upgrades, renovations and new construction of State agency facilities. No rearrangement or remodeling of existing space will be authorized for the sole purpose of conforming to these standards.

c) Individual agency functions and needs, and physical variations in State property, may require variations in the amount of space assigned. The division of agency space into private, semi-private and open areas will be evaluated by DCMS on a case-by-case basis.
