Room family

Break Room floor plan templates

A break room is a kitchenette run plus seating, and the run is sized by function before headcount: the smallest usable counter holds a sink with landing space each side and a microwave that is not stacked on top of something else. Appliance counts scale with the number of people who actually eat there, which is always fewer than the number who work there. The templates here cover a small break room and a large one, at ten and sixteen linear feet of counter. The sink rim height, counter approach and clear floor spaces are drawn to ADA dimensions.

Appliance counts on the larger template are set for the top of its headcount range; treat them as a ceiling, not a floor.

Codes cited on the sheet

  • verified ADA 2010 Standards 304.3.1 and 304.3.2 — A wheelchair turning space is either a 60 in diameter circle or a T shape within a 60 in square with arms and base 36 in wide, the arms clear 12 in each direction and the base clear 24 in.
  • verified ADA 2010 Standards 305.3 — Clear floor space at any element a person must use is not less than 30 by 48 in.
  • verified ADA 2010 Standards 308 — Operable parts -- switches, thermostats, card readers, outlets a user must reach -- fall between 15 and 48 in above the floor.
  • verified ADA 2010 Standards 403.5.1 — The accessible route through the space has a clear width of not less than 36 in, reducing to 32 in only for a length of not more than 24 in at a point obstruction such as a door frame.
  • verified ADA 2010 Standards 404.2.4 — Door maneuvering clearance on the pull side of a front approach is 18 in beyond the latch side and 60 in deep. A door that lands tight into a corner is the most common reason a compliant plan fails on site.
  • verified ADA 2010 Standards 606.3 and 306.3 — A sink rim on an accessible route is not more than 34 in above the finish floor, with knee clearance 27 in high at the front edge and 30 in wide beneath.
  • unverified FDA Food Code 2022 Section 5-203.11 (unverified; confirmed via state verbatim adoptions, not the FDA text) — A break room sink is not a food-service handwashing sink. Where the space becomes a food establishment the FDA Food Code requires a handwashing sink used for no other purpose, and a break room sink that also washes dishes does not satisfy it.
  • unverified FDA Food Code 2022 Sections 4-301.12 and 5-203.13 (unverified; confirmed via state verbatim adoptions) — Where the space becomes a food establishment the FDA Food Code additionally requires a warewashing sink and a service sink or curbed cleaning facility with a floor drain, and states that a toilet or urinal may not be used as a service sink.
  • unverified IBC 2021 Chapter 10 means of egress (unverified section) — A room with an occupant load at or above the threshold in the adopted building code requires two exits placed remotely from one another. A large break room commonly reaches that threshold at lunchtime even though it is empty the rest of the day.

"Verified" means the citation was checked against the source text we hold. "Unverified" means it has not been, and should be read as a pointer to look the section up rather than as a quotation of it.
