Room Layout

The large room would also have a center work bench. Utilities 

There was also to be room for a large table where incoming samples for analysis could be unpacked, sorted, and recorded. A suitable size was judged to be 4x8 feet. In addition, there should be room for a small desk at the end of the center table. 

The instrument room was planned for work benches covering roughly 60% of the wall area. One wall was left free for bookcases. 

Control room layout is a significant factor in efficient system control. The job of the operator can be extremely demanding, and well-designed rooms and workstations can increase the physical comfort of the operator, reduce stress levels, and improve efficiency. Control rooms can be described as complex sociotechnical systems. The room represents a domain for significant levels of interaction, such as computer-plant, human-computer, and human-human interactions. Depending on the control room, certain levels of direct manipulation between humans and plant may also be possible. ISO 11064-3 2001 points out the differences between the terms control room, control suite, and control center

Operational considerations, such as the tasks that will be conducted within the room and how the layout impacts these, the required levels of team working and how they influence the layout, the need for supervision, the possible requirement of display sharing Anthropometries and biometrics of the operator population

Workstations within the room shonld be arranged so as to consider these factors. Also, access has to be provided for maintenance technicians and cleaning staff which can have significant implications in 24-hour operations. Particular attention also must be paid to the access of physically disadvantaged woikers and visitors.

Architectural hnishes and room layout are important considerations. Personnel and product movements through the facility are key aspects in the minimization of cross-contamination. The directions of air flows, and air flow rates, are critical and should be considered during facility design.

The control room layout includes an instrument panel to accommodate the initial requirements for indicators, recorders, and annunciators with a number of spare and- partially utilized panel sections for future requirements.. This panel board, - facing in the direction of the reactor, is composed of eleven 4-ft-wide by 9 ft-high sections and extends the full length of the room with a rear access door at each end. Six panel sections, three at each end of the board, lie in a straight line. These two end panel groups are connected by the central panel sections which are arranged on a radius of approximaxely 7K ft to allow for the control console.
