This question is for Art & Design Schools and Colleges/Universities with
art/design programs. I am trying to ascertain if there are any standards or
guidelines for space planning re: teaching studios and work areas for
artists/designers in particular disciplines....or if someone has produced
guidelines for their own institutional space planning.
How much space does a student need if they are taking a Drawing & Painting
class or a Ceramics class? Ideally, I'd like to see a chart which lists the
net assignable square metres (nasm) or net assignable square feet (nasf) per
student for a wide range of art & design disciplines...
Drawing & Painting
Ceramics
Fibre or Textiles
Industrial Design
Environmental Design
Communication & Design
Advertising
Architecture
etc.
With such standards/guidelines, one should be able to work out objectively
how big a Drawing & Painting studio should be to accommodate 30 students
plus space for the model/display stand, washout area, etc.
OCAD is designing a new facility and the space planner is of the opinion
that there are no standards, broken down by art/design discipline. I find it
hard to believe that nothing exists.
I hope someone can help.
