Floor Area Measurement Best Practices #22

Sky Lobbies and Elevator Transfer Corridors


Applicable to: 2010 BOMA Office Floor Area Measurement Standards
Approved: February 25, 2016

Introduction: The Floor Measurement Standards Committee of BOMA International has approved this Best Practice to
provide guidance in addition to that included in the BOMA 2010 Office Standard. This Best Practice does not
modify the BOMA 2010 Office Standard published as ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-2010 but may be considered for
inclusion in future updates of that publication.
Question: How should Sky Lobbies or Elevator Transfer Corridors be measured?
Answer: Some high-rise buildings utilize express elevators with intermediate lobby floors where passengers transfer to
local elevators before arriving at their destination floor level.

Sky Lobbies, local elevator machine rooms, and elevator transfer corridors are a part of the building
infrastructure that enables the building to exist in its configuration as a high-rise. They are similar to any other
auxiliary lobbies commonly allocated to building service area. As such it is recommended that sky lobbies and
elevator transfer corridors be classified as building service area.

Citation: SECTION 5: DEFINITIONS:


"Building Service Area - a portion of a building that provides services that enable occupants to work in the
building.
Discussion: These areas include, but are not limited to the following areas that serve the entire building:
 main and auxiliary lobbies
