Workplace Issues
The five major issues observed were noise level, privacy, ergonomics, space, and down time. There
was a high level of echo observed from ringing phones and people speaking. Acoustical panels,
especially near workstations, would help lower the noise level. Privacy partitions around
workstations would help to increase privacy levels. Each panel would need to have the top
quarter in either a glass or clear plastic material as visibility is needed. A designated partitioned
area for consultations and a small closed office would greatly improve the privacy issue when
confidential conversations or work need to take place. Workstation surface area needs to be
increased as employees had to maneuverer items around to give themselves more work surface.
Increasing floor space around workstations is need as employees were observed maneuvering
around or bumping into one another. Since employees stand at their workstations mounting
computer screens on arms and having keyboards placed on adjustable surfaces will benefit each
employee, allowing them the ability to adjust height and tilt providing them more comfort while
working. Employees were extremely busy, implementing micro-breaks through-out the day would
be a great way to provide them with some down-time.
Workplace Adjacencies
All workstations, with the exception of the pharmacy manager’s workstation, were
shared workstations. The pharmacy manager’s work station is placed centrally
within the workspace. Two pharmacy technician workstations are placed to the
left and right of the pharmacy manger. Two additional workstations were upfront.
Shelving and cabinets surrounded the back and left sides of the workspace. Two
chairs and a small table are placed along the right wall, used for consultations.
Ergonomics and The Four Pillars
The Four Pillars of Ergonomics are support, reach, vision, and breathing. Ergonomic
workstations are designed to specifically address the four pillars. Ergonomic standing
desk stools would provide the employees with the support that is needed while standing
at their workstations. Adjustable surfaces and mouse tray would provide the employees
with ergonomically correct reach position. This will also provide greater work surface. To
help employees with vision and eye strain place computer screens on fully adjustable
mounted arms. Updated lighting with diffusers will also assist with vision issues. Placing a
air purifier at each workstation would help with breathing.
Interaction with Workspaces
Storage - Customer files were all placed in filing cabinets, supplies were stored on shelving
under/above workstations, extra supplies or supplies not needed daily were stored in cabinets in back.
Visual and acoustical privacy - There was no visual or acoustic privacy. Workstations are shared. The
noise level was high due to ringing phones and conversation.
Work surface - Work surface was small, employees were shuffling items and their bodies.
Electrical wiring and data cabling - All wiring and cabling were underneath workstations or wall/floor
perimeter.
Storage tools and workstation amenities - Computers, phones, and needed supplies were provided at
each workstation.
Lighting - Employees did not complain about glare on computer screens but lighting should be
updated and task lighting should be provided.

PROJECT STATEMENT
The flagship location for the M Hotel is located along the New Jersey
shore. It will offer luxury hospitality, as well as, co-working, networking,
conference, and meeting spaces. The first floor encompasses
approximately 4,000 square feet. This level will have shared offices,
workspace, collaborative and networking spaces, and conference
room available to the public. A self-serve kitchen, with twenty-four
hour access to coffee and beverage fountains, will be available for
guest use. A beautiful sculptural staircase will provide access to the
second floor. The second floor encompasses approximately 7,000
square feet. This level will have a reception area, server kitchen,
information technology space, and catering. There will also be hotel
employee space located on this level, such as, corporate offices,
workspace, meeting rooms and a conference room.
Design Solution Statement
The M Hotel will offer a grand and traditional style look.
Classical details, metals, and sparkle will provide a luxurious
feel. The outside will be brought inside with a color scheme
that borrows from the coastal surroundings. Soft and calming
blues with gold accents will be used throughout to provide a
cohesive and unified design among all spaces. Traditional
style office furniture will provide a sense of hierarchy between
offices. Glass partition walls will contrast the hierarchy feel
brought in with the furniture. The collection of traditional
design elements and furniture combined with up-to-date
technology and ergonomic factors will provide a timeless feel
while still providing today’s modern features and amenities.

1009.3.1 Winder treads Winder treads are not permitted in means of egress stairways except within a dwelling unit
1009.3.2 Dimensional uniformity Stair treads and risers shall be of uniform size and shape. The tolerance between the
largest and smallest riser height or between the largest and smallest tread depth shall not exceed 0.375 inch (9.5 mm)
in any flight of stairs. The greatest winder tread depth at the 12-inch (305 mm) walk line within any flight of stairs shall
not exceed the smallest by more than 0.375 inch (9.5 mm) measured at a right angle to the tread’s leading edge
1009.3.3 Profile The radius of curvature at the leading edge of the tread shall be not greater than 0.5 inch (12.7 mm).
Beveling of nosings shall not exceed 0.5 inch (12.7 mm). Risers shall be solid and vertical or sloped from the underside
of the leading edge of the tread above at an angle not more than 30 degrees (0.52 rad) from the vertical. The
leading edge (nosings) of treads shall project not more than 1.25 inches (32 mm) beyond the tread below and all
projections of the leading edges shall be of uniform size, including the leading edge of the floor at the top of a flight
(IBC).
CODE ANALYSIS
STAIRS - HANDRAILS
Handrails must extend 12 inches beyond the top riser and one tread depth plus 12 inches beyond the bottom riser
When handrails don’t continue to another level, they must return to the wall or the walking surface.
Only the portions of a stairway within 30 inches of a handrail counts toward the required width for egress capacity,
as calculated by the occupancy load
Handrails must be graspable. The minimum radius is 1¼ inches. Noncircular shapes are permitted. The overall
perimeter should be between 4-6 inches. Minimum distance from a wall is 1½ inches. Maximum projection from the
wall is 4½ inches. Handrail materials are typically wood, metal, or plastic. Tactile quality is important. Sharp edges
are not permitted, and edges should have a minimum radius of 1/8 inch (Space Planning Basics).

REFLECTION
I learned a lot throughout this course. The course began with learning about the
different types of work spaces and conducting interviews and site research. We
progressed into preliminary concept designs for a hotel. We then moved through the
design process, creating schematic designs, floorplans, RCP’s and FF&E’s. We even
designed a sculptural staircase. We then made a compilation of our entire project. It
was great to work on a design project from beginning to end.
This course has taught me the importance of the research needed for office design.
There is much more to designing and office than layout, furniture and finish
selections. All employee needs to be considered and met, along with what is
needed to complete tasks throughout a work day, and codes and regulations.
