The topic of our conversation is quite large. Office premises can be located both in industrial and office buildings, and in transport. Another type stands out - residential. A lot of questions arise on the job description of cleaners of this kind of premises. Explanations about all of the above, we will provide during the article.
What is it?
Service premises are rooms, departments intended for placement and rest of personnel. In addition, this category includes classrooms, departments where equipment, tools, and personal belongings of workers are located.
Offices for placing officials in a public organization can also be called office premises. For example, the office of the security chief in a shopping center.
Service premises are departments whose purpose and quantity depend on a specific organization and its spectrum of activities. We give specific examples.

Here, office premises are offices for station personnel. Their area, quantity are normalized by building codes of the Russian Federation. They can be arranged in various areas: in the lobby, at or below the train platform. These are special cabins in workings, offices on intermediate floors, in passages, etc.

Must comply with all operating instructions, be convenient to use, meet fire safety requirements. Passages to the production office must be closed to passengers. For example, to be locked.

This is done to facilitate the work of staff. There are water taps and special drainage for draining dirty water. If hot water is not supplied directly directly, then it is heated in electric tanks.
- The presence of electric drying cabinets is mandatory - for drying rags, which clean the surfaces at the station.

We examined an example at a metro station. Now let's move on to another popular category - hotel.

Features of the organization of office space in hotels
We give the norms of office space on specific examples:
- Warehouses. Often designed without natural light. It happens that the number and area of such office space under the project does not correspond to the need for them in practice. Therefore, you have to redo rooms, other offices for warehouses and change houses.
- First-aid posts. Necessary for first aid to both guests and staff. In some hotels they are not provided for by the project, so the rooms and other rooms are being re-equipped. It is rational to place a first-aid post on the upper or on the technical floor of the building. According to the standards, it is necessary for hotels with more than 200 places. It consists of at least two rooms: a waiting room and a doctor's office. The area of the first-aid post depends on the scale of the hotel - from 14 to 32 m 2 .
- Premises for engineering equipment systems - heating, ventilation, water supply, lighting, air conditioning, centralized dust and waste disposal systems, power supply systems, as well as low-voltage devices (monogram broadcasting, telephony, selector, teletype, television, pneumatic mail). Important points of security and fire alarms, search, as well as automated hotel management systems.
- Central control rooms. They include a room with control equipment, a room for staff, a bathroom.
- Central linen - separate for clean and dirty laundry. Must have natural light, a convenient for staff unloading platform, isolated from dirty things, a room for fixing bedding. As for the room for dirty laundry, it should be connected to the opposite with a special laundry outlet, a freight elevator.
- Domestic facilities for staff. These are locker rooms, showers, sanitary units, cubicles for personal hygiene, individual lockers for storing outerwear, personal items, racks or wardrobes for outerwear.
Residential category
Separately, we consider office living quarters. They are intended for workers to live in connection with the nature of their working relationship with state authorities, the local self-government system, an enterprise, a municipal institution, service, appointment to a public post, election to an elected place in local government or state power. The term "service housing" will be synonymous.
Housing Law
Art. 92 of the Russian Housing Code classifies them as specialized housing or specialized housing.
And here's an important question: what can be called an office building? Someone will bring here not only apartments, but also rooms in dormitories, accommodation with other tenants. This is not true. Only apartments are included in the category. The employee occupies this premises, based on labor relations with his employer. Rooms and places in hostels can simply be provided for temporary use to a citizen.
