The Warehouse space type is designed to store goods and materials, as well as to allow for the regular circulation of occupants, vehicles, and machinery that aretypically associated with the handling of these goods and materials. Essential to this space type is the capacity to accommodate vertical storage, space forvehicle material movement, and anticipated high floor loads.
See also WBDG Warehouse Building Type(warehouse.php).
A wide range of storage alternatives, picking alternatives, material handling equipment and software exist to meet the physical and operational requirements of awarehouse space type, and proper integration(integrate_tools.php) of these features is essential. Warehouse spaces must also be flexible(design_change.php)enough to adapt to future operations and storage needs. Typical features of Warehouse space types include the list of applicable design objectives elements asoutlined below. For a complete list and definitions of the design objectives within the context of whole building design, click on the titles below.
Functional / Operational(func_oper.php)Efficient Use of Space(account_spatial.php): Warehouse space types are often designed with higher bays to take advantage of vertical storage. Utilizationof space is maximized while providing adequate circulation paths for personnel and material handling equipment such as forklift trucks.Design for Live Loads: Designs should anticipate the loads of stored materials and associated handling equipment, typically 250 LB/SF. Snow, wind, andseismic loads shall be considered where they are applicable. Racking in seismic areas must be built stronger and be better braced.Power and Utility Requirements: Differentiate between spaces that require power and utilities, and those that are for storage only. Depending on the goodsbeing stored and handling equipment required, there may be a need for welldistributed power and utility lines throughout the space. Attempt energyefficientlighting(/resources/efficientlighting.php?r=warehouse_st) when possible. Warehouse spaces typically include one floor drain for every two bays of storage, aswell as sand and oil traps on waste lines.Loading Dock: Warehouse space types are typically designed with one electrohydraulic dock leveler per every five truck bays.Occupancy: Occupancy Group Classification is Storage Group S in Group S1 or S2 classifications with sprinklered construction. See also WBDGSecure/Safe—Plan for Fire Protection(fire_protection.php)
Sustainable(sustainable.php)Special HVAC: Provide proper ventilation under all circumstances. Plan for 100% exhaust from storage areas with paint, petroleum, aerosol, or other minoramounts posing moderate hazard storage conditions. For more information, see HighPerformance HVAC(/resources/hvac.php?r=warehouse_st) and EnhanceIndoor Environmental Quality(ieq.php).
Example ProgramThe following building program is representative of Warehouse space types.

Example Construction CriteriaFor GSA, the unit costs for Warehouse space types are based on the construction quality and design features in the followingtable(/pdfs/gsa_constr_criteria_warehouse.pdf) (PDF 45 KB, 3 pgs). This information is based on GSA's benchmark interpretation and could be different for otherowners.
The following agencies and organizations have developed codes and standards affecting the design of Warehouse space types. Note that the codes andstandards are minimum requirements. Architects, engineers, and consultants should consider exceeding the applicable requirements whenever possible.
