ASPECTS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR CIRCULATION PLANNING:

Circulation area can be broken into two types,
Primary circulation
Secondary circulation.
Primary circulation is the main route connecting the building core and common spaces such
as elevator lobbies, exit stairs and a core toilet.
Secondary circulation is the aisles between the individual and support spaces.
As a general planning thumb rule, Circulation areas comprises roughly 12% to 16% of total
usable areas.
The width and height of the circulation space should be proportionate with the type and the
amount of movement it must handle.
The distinction in scale should be establish between a public promenade , a more private
hall and a service corridor.
A narrow enclosed path naturally encourages forward motion.
To accommodate more traffic as well as to create space for pausing, resting, or viewing
sections of path can be widened.
The path can also be enlarged by merging with spaces it pass through.
Within a large space, a path can be random, without form or definition, and be determined
by the activities and arrangement of furnishing within a space.

3.SPATIAL STANDARDS
Lobby length:
Where swing doors are used, a minimum clear length of:
1570 mm should be provided for general traffic access,
4100 mm should be provided for bed/trolley access.
Lobby width:
For lobbies with single doors for general traffic, a minimum clear width of 1500 mm is
recommended.
For lobbies with double doors (sliding or swing) for patient trolley/bed access, a minimum
clear width of 2150 mm is required.
Internal stairs:
Rise and goings should be uniform through out the flight . Riser 150 170 mm. Thread
280 300 mm.
Landing area:
A landing area should be provided at the top and bottom of the stairs (1200 mm).
Nosing:
Depth 50 to 60 mm.
Ramps:
Ramps may be provided in place of steps in some situations, in particular to facilitate egress
of wheelchair users or those with push chairs.
Area under the staircase:
If enclosure is not possible, two rails one at 1000 mm and one at 200 mm above floor level
or some other barrier should be provided.
Lifts:
Minimum internal dimension 1100 mm x 1400 mm accommodating at least 8 people (630
kg).
Entrance 8 m to 12 m to receive an increasing crowd.
Corridors 2.5 m 4 m. ( 3m will be optimum).
Railing height 0.9 m.
Emergency exits 5 m 7 m.
Lighting:
The lighting should be designed so that it highlights the difference between riser and threads,
top and bottom of the steps and any changes in direction.
Lighting that causes glare ( for example poorly located spot lights, foot lights or low level light
source ) should be avoided. Natural lighting is preferred and is supported through the facades.
