The document provides guidelines for the design of shopping centers and multiplexes. It includes specifications for store dimensions, parking requirements, accessibility guidelines for persons with disabilities, and sustainability measures. Requirements cover floor area ratios, height restrictions, exit widths, lighting levels and more. Parking ratios depend on the number of screens, ranging from 10% of sitting capacity for 1-2 screens to off-street parking for larger complexes.

New York.

9. •This also is usually a strip of stores but substantially larger than the neighborhood
centerand usually containing a so-called "junior"department store as the major
unit.
•This type is vulnerable to competition from the larger centers and hence has
declined in desirability.

11. Downtown At Houston, USA

15. •Store Depths
Buildings are usually 120 to 140 ft deep, sometimes
more to accommodate larger stores . If there are
basements or mezzanines, the depth dimension
usually can be reduced 20 to 25 percent .
•Clear Heights
These vary from 10 to 14 ft or more, with 12 Ft. a good
average. Above this clear height, there must be
adequate space for air-conditioning ducts, recessed
lights, structural system, etc

16. •FlexibleServices For The Complex
It is essential that the mechanical engineer set up a schedule of the location
and sizes of the principal duct runs and shafts to avoid serious future space
problems.
Central plant equipment can be in a separate building, on the project roof, or
elsewhere so long as it is economical as to design and length of runs. Individual
plants in each store require roof space, cooling towers, etc .

18. •Provision of adequate and convenient parking is, in fact, a basic
requirement of any shopping center, regardless of its size or location.
•A ratio of between 5 and 6 car spaces per 1,000 sq ft of leasable store
area is mandatory.
•In the matter of parking layout, car stalls can be set at angles (say, 70
degs.) to the lanes, which then requires one-way traffic ; or stalls can be
at 90 degs. to the lanes, permitting two-way traffic.
•Although both are commonly used, the 90 arrangement is somewhat
more frequent for grade parking whereas the angled system is more
customary for garages and decks.

20. :

26. With regard to the design guidelines the special needs of the persons
with disabilities for construction of built environment are as follows.
Persons restricted on wheel chair should use the facilities within the
built environment alone without a helper’s assistance.
A wheelchair may be operated by the user alone or with a helper’s
assistance.However, wheelchair design must assume that the user
should be able to operate the wheelchair without help.

28. Persons in this category who use walking aids such as crutches or canes,
who are amputees, who have chest ailments or heart disease. The
persons in this category include those who can not walk without a cane
and those who have some trouble in their upper or lower limbs
although they can walk unassisted.
* Width of passage for crutch users (min. 900 mm)
* Finishes of floor surface with non slip floor material.
* Installation of handrail to support the body weight at the critical places e.g.
staircase,toilet, ramp, passage with a change of level (800-850 mm).
* Extension of handrail on the flat landing at the top and bottom of the stairs
(300mm).
* To prevent slipping off the cane or crutch from the side of the stairs or ramps (20 mm
high lip on the exposed edge).

31. .

33. * Walks should be smooth, hard level surface suitable for walking and wheeling.
.

35. * Walkway should be constructed with a
non-slip material & different from rest
of the area.

37. Approach to plinth level : Every building should have at least one entrance
Ramped Approach : Ramp shall be finished with non slip material to enter the
building.
