Inquiry

The purpose of this project is to allow Bank of America employees an opportunity to work closer to home and reduce their commute to the office. One of the features for the plan on this project is the "Focus" Rooms. These rooms allow the people throughout the floor to conduct phone/conference calls confidentially. These spaces are approximately 35 square feet in area. Based on the point for Appropriate Zoning and Controls, it requires private offices, conference rooms and kitchens to have their own controls. Currently, there are 4 of these spaces zoned together on one side of the floor plan. On the other side of the plan, 2 focus rooms are zoned with a wellness room (approx. 62 sf). I am requesting that these focus rooms be excluded from this requirement due to their low airflow requirements and intermittent use. Please clarify if these rooms will be accepted as they are currently zoned.
