There are many different types of spaces in a building, and each type of space has its own characteristics and requirements. Building space types are also linked to related building types and resource that explain strategies, technologies, and emerging issues relevant to those specific buildings. Any space defined for a particular utility should be accessible, aesthetics, economical, functional, productive, secure and safe, and sustainable. Their interrelationship to the building type must be understood, evaluated, and appropriately applied within the spaces. These may include atrium, lobby, auditorium, child care clinic, fitness centre, classroom, conference room, courtroom, food service courts, warehouse or storage, retail shop, laboratory, office, parking, private toilet and many more based on the purpose of building.

This space type is often designed with both secure and non-secure areas. The lobby space type does not include staircase, lift, escalator but lead to internal lobbies. Building lobbies often serve as the "public face" of building interiors.
Auditorium space
