Government of Canada Workplace 2.0 Fit-up Standards Section A: General-purpose Office Space
Support Spaces
Keeping in mind the general principles of consistency (common look and feel) and flexibility, the
allocation of all support space functions should relate to the population of each floor (i.e., making
each floor as “generic” as possible so the spaces can endure multiple tenants with minimum
modifications). It is expected the size of spaces and the quantity of millwork identified for support
spaces could vary by up to 15% (larger or smaller than the sizes shown) to suit the specific site
conditions and program requirements.

Meeting Rooms
Meeting rooms provide enclosed spaces for meetings, presentations and collaborative work. The
following table summarizes provisions for meeting rooms for various population ranges on a floor.

* The large meeting room consists of 2 medium sized meeting rooms divided by a retractable wall to maximize flexibility.
A larger meeting room may be “substituted” in place of multiple smaller meeting spaces
(e.g., 1 medium in place of 2 small or 1 large in place of 1 medium and 2 small). However,
if required, the larger area must be easily convertible back to the smaller rooms at minimal
cost and with no additional impact on the space. Decisions of this kind should be considered
as part of the initial project identification phases and documented accordingly in the project
files. See A6.2 Support Spaces for drawings that illustrate typical sizes and configurations of
meeting rooms, including descriptions of standard finishes, lighting modifications, and
mechanical and electrical provisions.
