TSA WORKPLACE STANDARDS
A Guide to Planning TSA Spaces https://www.tsa.gov/ iiTSA Workplace Standards v1.02
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Workplace Standards is designed to present information to standardize spaces among various headquarters and field-based facilities, encourage optimization of procurements associated with space, furniture, and equipment, enhance equity across TSA facilities, and stand as a single source of direction related to the design of the workplace once space allocation is complete.
Published in June 2023, it represents the collective knowledge and work of experienced individuals in support of TSA Real Estate. Their thoughtful participation has been critical to identifying resources for more fully understanding the processes and procedures in place and actual experience using them. This experience was leveraged to provide the detail associated with information offered in this volume.
This document represents the best knowledge as of this point in time. It is anticipated that it will serve to inform other documents, as well as to be informed by them. More importantly, it is developed as a living document to be a key element in optimizing TSA’s Real Estate operations.
This document is maintained by the TSA Real Estate Management Division (REMD) and was created by the TSA Workplace Standards Working Group along with G. M.

1.1 MISSION
TSA�MISSION
Protect the nation’s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce.
REMD�MISSION
REMD is a one-stop provider of real estate services to TSA, providing the full range of services in order to maintain high quality, safe, efficient and economical facilities that meet the operational needs of our customers. REMD is organized into four branches:
Direct Leasing�Branch�(DLB)
Facilities�and�Infrastructure�Branch�(FAIB)
Field Services�Branch�(FSB)
Program Management�Office�(PMO)
1.2 ACKNOWLEDGMENT
This document is designed to support improvement of processes and organization to execute TSA’s future space requirements in a clear and concise manner in support of the TSA mission. It focuses on standards and policy documentation for space in the establishment of equitable workspace across the TSA enterprise.
1.3 BACKGROUND
Codes, standards, and guidelines are critical elements in facility design. And, while these terms are often used interchangeably, they are not the same. It is important to distinguish among them:
Codes are adopted by a regulatory body and require compliance. Local building codes fall into this category.
Standards are developed in a consensus process to represent a balance of interests and approved by an organization with a facilities portfolio to manage. They are applied to space alteration and construction projects across that portfolio.
Guidelines are typically developed by subject matter experts and offered as guidance to industry professionals.
TSA Workplace Standards establishes, in concert with the DHS Workspace Standard Instruction 119-02-003 Revision Number: 01, space standards for all TSA facilities. The space standard is a specification that defines the attributes of a space, including capacity, average area and which roles can be assigned to that space. These documents along with a variety of guidelines, including program requirements, specifications, IT and Physical Security policies, space typicals, and other supporting documentation guide the process of space planning.
To achieve the goals and objectives outlined in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), investment in TSA human capital is a key factor. One way in which such investment manifests itself in the Enterprise Support / Real Estate organization is in acquisition, design, and furnishing the places and environments where work is performed in support of the TSA mission by TSA personnel.
TSA Workplace Standards provides definitive space requirements based upon the spatial needs and layouts appropriate to workspaces, regardless of location, to accomplish the specific mission of the organization, ensure accessibility and circulation, promote occupant comfort, and support the goal of facility optimization.

1 INTRODUCTION
TSA Workplace Standards v1.02
1.4 PURPOSE
The TSA Workplace Standards document serves as a primary reference document for architecture/engineering consultants, government agencies, and TSA personnel involved with the planning, design, development, and alteration of TSA facilities. It provides clear direction to be used to develop planning and programming criteria for the inclusion in the program of requirements (POR). This guide focuses on the overall space envelope, outlining specific room functions, additional spaces, square footage, and clearances for the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) / Architectural Barriers Act Accessibility Standard (ABAAS) necessary to meet operational needs of the Administration. TSA’s philosophy and commitment is to provide an equitably accessible workplace for all employees, contractors and guests by implementing the provisions of the ABAAS and the ADA Standards in all its facilities
The design of TSA space should be developed based on the standards set forth in this guide and should be used by vendors and partners in conjunction with the reference documents noted within.
1.5 OBJECTIVE
It is the objective of REMD to utilize the information in the TSA Workplace Standards to provide all TSA Offices with a quality workplace that supports program operations, enhances the productivity of the staff, is safe, functional and makes the most efficient use of available resources. In addition, this document provides REMD with the tools to ensure compliance with all Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requirements and guidelines while reducing engineering, design and construction cost through standardization and optimization of usable square footage (USF).
1.6 TSA�SPACE�MANAGEMENT
REMD uses this document, along with the processes and policies found in the following documents to make efficient, practical decisions about acquiring and planning TSA spaces:
TSA�Management�Directive�No.�200.3,��Headquarters�Facilities�Management
TSA�Management�Directive�No.�200.12,�Space�And�Furniture�For�Field�Locations
TSA�Management�Directive�No.�200.15,�Mission�Support�Center�Program�(MSC)
TSA�Management�Directive�No.�200.18,�Direct�Leasing
DHS�Workspace�Standard�Instruction�119-02-003,�Revision Number: 01
The TSA Space process varies across the TSA portfolio based upon factors such as furniture-only needs, minor alteration, major renovation projects, new construction, on-site or off-site location, and other characteristics. Identification of a space need may occur as the result of the following:
• New interior construction.
• Additions to existing facilities which in any way affect TSA space, security, or operations. This is defined as additional operational and physical capacity to buildings or site structures or new equipment or systems required for TSA functions and operations.
• Alterations to an existing facility which in any way impact TSA space, security, or operations (defined as remodeling, improving, extending, or making tenant-requested changes to any existing facility, exclusive of maintenance or repair work). Alterations projects do not include the expansion of the physical building or adding a new building to a campus location.
• Alterations projects that do not include the expansion of the physical building or adding a new building to a campus location.
• Applicability of this guide for limited scope projects will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by TSA.

2.1 BACKGROUND
As a result of the changes in the workplace environment, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is in the process of defining the future of work and Federal workplaces through the President’s Management Council (PMC) in coordination with relevant executive management councils, including the Chief Human Capital Officer Council, Chief Information Officer Council, Chief Financial Officer Council, the Chief Acquisition Officers Council, and the Federal Real Property Council (FRPC).
The PMC is guiding agencies to develop personnel policies for hybrid, telework, and remote work; satisfy labor relations obligations; and support processes to define various resource requirements as part of planning for the future of Federal work, consistent with OMB Memorandum M-21-25.
OMB Memorandum M-21-25 directs agencies to consider “workspace/workplace usage and mobility assessments, and opportunities to integrate remote work and sharing of spaces among Federal agencies into mid- and longer-term real estate/property strategies.” Pursuant to M-21-25, OMB expects that agency decisions in these areas will be equitable and grounded in values that empower, respect, and galvanize the Federal workforce, while reflecting and emphasizing trust and accountability for the American people they serve. In making decisions regarding post-reentry personnel policies and work environments, as well as the future of work and workplaces, agencies must be guided by how they can most effectively achieve their respective missions. Agencies should also consider broader workforce and workplace trends, lessons learned from agency operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the need for the Federal Government to be competitive for top talent as employers in the broader labor market. M-21-25 also includes an appendix from the General Services Administration (GSA) with considerations for agencies related to the future of Federal workplaces.
One of the recent shifts has been in the definition of workspace. Traditional office spaces across the spectrum have been abandoned, with home offices growing exponentially. Sales of home office furniture, technologies, and office supplies by individuals (and by companies for remote workers) have increased.
This document addresses the definitions of workspaces and, in conjunction with the space allocations defined in documents included in the bibliography, provides the basis for review of space management efforts across the TSA organization. This document also begins the process of providing consistency with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documentation and reporting designed to address Department-wide implementation of real estate responsibilities.
Finally, it captures observations made in development of this document that may facilitate efforts to revisit current TSA real estate operations in light of the current funding environment.

3.1 INTRODUCTION
In order to make the most efficient use of our real estate resources, we have adopted the following space selection and design principles, which will be used when procuring and planning new spaces or reconfiguring existing spaces.
3.1.1 STANDARD�OFFICE�FLOORS�
An Open Office design will be the standard design for TSA facilities. The Open Office concept allows for greater flexibility to plan, design, and re-design space to deliver efficient space to the end user that meets the TSA mission. Our goal is to provide a functional open work space that minimizes initial construction costs, facilitates future reconfigurations, and maximizes flexibility. Office design will represent a standardized layout in order to deliver facilities throughout TSA following DHS guidelines.
Enclosed offices and other enclosed spaces will be located in the interior areas of floor plates rather than on windowed exterior walls wherever possible. This will maximize natural light in order to improve the overall work environment and reduce energy costs.
Demountable, movable wall partitions will be considered when possible. These partitions allow for quicker reconfiguration of spaces in response to growth and mission changes, supporting flexibility. The number of dedicated workstations will be reduced while increasing the number of open, shared workstations which increases efficiency of space utilization in compliance with DHS space standards. Contractors required to be housed within TSA space will no longer be assigned dedicated workstations but will be provided shared workstations on an “as available” basis.
3.1.2 PERSONNEL WORK SPACE
Personnel work space is space that is assigned to one or more individuals as a private office, workstation, or shared workstation. TSA uses functions and not necessarily title or position to assign space types to individuals. The type and amount of space assigned to an employee is driven by the requirements of their work.
Private�Offices�
The need for a private office is based upon one or more of the following functional requirements. The employee is in a supervisory position or spends at least five hours per day working with sensitive information.
3.2 STANDARDIZATION
The TSA has adopted standard elements common to most, or all, facilities to achieve consistency in quality, equity, cost, and performance.
The purpose of the TSA Workplace Standards is to provide guidance on the spatial requirements/layouts that are appropriate workspaces to accomplish the specific mission of the organization and assure ABAAS accessibility and circulation.
This guidance in conjunction with the documents referenced within, will contribute to reduced engineering, design, and construction cost through standardization and optimization of USF.

3.3 DETERMINING�FIELD�OFFICE�SPACE�
ALLOCATION
REMD is responsible for providing facility services to all workspace locations outside of the NCR. REMD manages office and airport space allocations; lease acquisitions; design, construction and renovation of tenant space; furniture acquisition; and other facility support.
REMD is engaged as early as possible in the planning of new airport construction projects, to allow the opportunity to procure quality spaces for TSA. TSA Real Estate will develop a program of requirements for space and specifications for construction, and provide those documents to the airport or lessor’s architect in advance.
REMD will carefully evaluate any airport spaces offered to TSA to look for deficiencies that may make the leasing of the space less efficient or costlier.
REMD will seek spaces that are within the 300 foot TSA IT connectivity restraints, are within reasonable distance from the checkpoints and provide a quality work environment for the TSA staff. TSA considers the following spaces the first priority when negotiating leased space On-site at the airports:
• Transportation Security Officer (TSO) Break Rooms
• Supervisory Transportation Security Officers (STSO) workspaces
• Transportation Security Managers (TSM) workspaces
• Transportation Security Specialists-Explosives (TSS-E) Program
• TSO Maintenance
• Practical Skills Evaluation (PSE) teams
• Advanced Threat Local Allocation Strategy (ATLAS )
• Online Learning Center (OLC) Training Space
• Consumable Storage (3 to 5 day’s worth)
The adoption of space allocation standards ensures the assignment of workstations and support space are consistent throughout TSA Field Offices, and complies with the DHS Workspace Standard Instruction 119-02-003, Revision Number: 01 and TSA Management Directive No. 200.12 Space and Furniture For Field Locations Field Offices will be assigned leased space by TSA Real Estate based on a detailed analysis of workspace and support space requirements. To achieve the optimum use of space for each Field Office, collaboration between TSA Real Estate and the Field Offices ensures the appropriate space allocation usage.
3.4 SPACE�ALLOCATION�WORKSHEET�(SAW)
The Space Allocation Worksheet (SAW) is the tool used by Real Estate to establish a baseline square foot (SF) minimum and maximum calculation for leasing space on-site and off-site. . The SAW is automatically populated with staff counts using the current Resource Allocation Plan (RAP) provided by Security Operations (SO). Also included in the calculation for leasing space is any TSA Headquarters positions that require a seat with the FSD Staff. The total administrative office space and the distributed support space is calculated by multiplying the FSD/Admin headcount by 130 SF for the minimum allocation and 150sf per person for the maximum and details each of the Mission Support spaces (TSO break rooms, Coordination centers, training space, operational storage, etc.).
The SAW allows TSA Real Estate to review the amount of space the administrative, distributed and specific mission support space are generally allocated based on the Real Estate standards as determined by program interviews and the DHS standards in more detail. This tool is used as a guide to determine how much space each field office needs. When a Field Office is faced with a forced move or an increase in staff or support space, the SAW assists TSA Real Estate in planning the new space. The most recent SAW is available to the Field Office on the TSA Real Estate iShare site.

3.5 PLANNING�PROGRAMS�IN�SUITES
When planning off-site field offices, planning the “Open Office” concept is the preferred design for new built out spaces. Open plan offices are more economical and future reconfigurations can be done with minimal effort. For the HQ programs included in this section, a suite environment is authorized due to the nature of the work. For the FSD Programs included in this section, requesting suites for the listed programs will be considered on a case-by-case analysis.
3.5.1�CONSIDERED�FSD�PROGRAMS
In a case-by-case review, FSB may plan FSD programs in a suited environment if the advantages out way the disadvantages. The following scenario must apply:
• New construction build of entire off-site space.
• Staffing levels for the HR Program is 10 or more FTE.
• Staffing levels of the Training Department are a minimum of 6, where 2 or more classroom rooms are planned.
- Note: Reference LTR1 & OLC1 Mission Support Spaces for planning of training spaces. The HQ space consists of Personnel & Distributed Support spaces.
3.5.2�AUTHORIZED�HQ�PROGRAMS
Office�of�Compliance - The aviation and cargo inspectors are housed at over 200 TSA Field Offices.
Investigations�Division�(INV) - Special Agents strategically placed throughout the TSA regions to support the mission of INV.
These two HQ programs may be planned in suites, separate from the FSD staff, due to the sensitive nature of their work. The following scenarios must apply:
• New construction of all or portion of the off-site leased space.
• Expansion space approval allows for relocation to separate suite.
3.5.3�OFFICE�OF�COMPLIANCE
The Office of Compliance Programs in the Field consists of the following two Branches: Aviation Inspections and Program Oversight and Cargo Inspections and Program Oversight. The mission of these Branches is to protect the transportation and cargo systems through routine on-site inspections, assessments and tests, collection/development/ dissemination of “Best Practices”, coordination with internal and external TSA entities, and collection and evaluation of applicable metrics.
Types�of�Personnel�Spaces
• AFSD-Compliance: Allocated a 120 SF P2 office.
• Supervisory TSI: Allocated a 120 SF P2 office.
• Transportation Security Inspector (TSI): Allocated a 48 SF W1.
Types�of�Support�Spaces
• Dedicated Support Spaces: Team rooms and storage may be dedicated within the suite assigned to Compliance.
• Shared Support with FSD: If the Compliance suite is within the FSD leased space, pantry, waiting area and conference rooms will be shared by all occupants.
Design�Considerations
• Location: This program shall be located off-site. If a suite environment is not achievable, plan the workstations in an area with the least amount of staff traffic.
• Space Plan: A suite shall be planned when the Compliance Program staffing level is 10 or more. For staffing levels below 10, the TSI’s can be doubled up in offices to achieve the privacy needed to conduct daily business.

3.5.4� INVESTIGATIONS�DIVISION
Investigations (INV) promotes the integrity, efficiency, and effectiveness of TSA’s people, programs, and resources through objective criminal and administrative investigations. Investigations directly supports TSA’s mission by investigating allegations of criminal activity and insider threats including, but not limited to:
• Fraud, theft, and assault.
• Off-duty felony arrests, smuggling, and trafficking.
• Acts of non-criminal misconduct by senior or titled officials and law enforcement officers, and egregious non-criminal misconduct by others.
• On-duty misconduct by contract employees working for TSA.
• Criminal allegations or systemic SOP violations by regulated parties that affect TSA operations.
Types�of�Personnel�Spaces
• Special Agents: The Special Agent may be allocated a P2 office of 120 SF if not in a dedicated suite. A W1 workstation of 48 SF will be planned if a dedicated suite is provided for investigations.
Types�of�Support�Spaces
• Interview Room: The Special Agents require a private, secured room to conduct secured interviews.
• Evidence Storage: The Special Agents require a dedicated secure room to store evidence that is separate from other secure storage areas.
• Secured Storage: A dedicated secure room or cabinet shall be provided to store weapons and other sensitive files and equipment.
• Polygraph Rooms: In some INV offices polygraph rooms will be required.
Coordination with the HQ Program office will determine where polygraph rooms are authorized. These rooms would be separate from the other rooms in the INV space.
Design�Considerations
• Location: This program shall be located off-site. Ideally, space is located in a remote area of the suite or building to allow for the coming and going of employees being interviewed, preferably near a stairwell or elevator. It is preferred to have a separate entrance for the INV suite.
• Space Plan: For one or two agents, plan for private offices and include separate storage and interview space. For three or more agents, W1/W2 workstations within a suite will be provided.
• Construction: The construction of the INV space shall be STC45 if new construction.

3 DESIGN�DIRECTIVES�AND�PLANNING�PRINCIPLES
TSA Workplace Standards v1.02
3.6 TRAINING�SPACES
Training is a major component of TSA mandated requirements. The amount of training required for a Transportation Security Officer (TSO) is approximately 192 hours annually. This averages approximately 4 hours per week for each TSO.
Types�of�Training�Spaces
• Lecture: Multi-purpose instruction rooms that can accommodate lecture-style seating or round table discussions. The size and quantity of rooms shall be a collaborative decision between TSA Real Estate and the Field Office.
Average seating is typically no smaller than 12 and no larger than 30 students.
TSA Real Estate will equip the room’s infrastructure to support audio/visual and Internet access, but the equipment is the responsibility of the Field.
• OLC Training: Rooms equipped with walk-up computer carrels to access the TSA On-line Learning Center (OLC). The size of the rooms should be determined by the number of computer terminals the airport has to support OLC.
• Computer Lab: Rooms equipped for computer training. The Labs are typically used for training the new TSOs on TSA screening technology. Real Estate will confirm with the Field Office the number of approved computers allocated to training to determine the size of Lab(s).
• Remedial Testing Rooms: If space allows, smaller training rooms may be planned for training on special equipment or one-on-one instructions.
• Administrative Support Spaces: Staff spaces consist of private or shared workspaces for the TSA Training Manager, Specialist, or Screening Training Instructors (STI).
• User Support Spaces: Some training facilities may provide trainee support spaces such as lockers or coat closets for trainees to temporarily store their possessions, business stations equipped with Internet access, or break- out areas to gather before class or during breaks.
• General Storage: Space designated for storage of training materials, equipment and records, such as MBS Kits, checkpoint equipment, and training records for each TSO.
When designing these types of training spaces, several design considerations are taken into account, such as:
• Share resources by using the rooms for informal gathering spaces, OLC stations, and STI work spaces.
• Equip larger lecture rooms with movable partitions to accommodate a wide variety of group learning sizes. (Maybe authorized for CAT X & Large CAT I locations, after an analysis of efficiency and cost are conducted).
• Use a combination of stand-alone movable and stackable furniture to allow for multiple ways to meet the education goals.
• Plan all rooms to have IT infrastructure, which will allow technological access in all training spaces.
• The Field may distribute the Total SF Training Allocation among off-site and on-site. When planning new Training space, inventory the current amount of space dedicated to training and make adjustments in the new space to right-size classroom, personnel, and storage requirements.

4.1 WORKPLACE�TYPES
Space allocation responsibilities are based upon Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) standards and administered by the TSA Real Estate Management Division (REMD).
In addition to DHS and TSA space allocations, the new TSA Workplace Standards document identifies how space allocations lay out in use in a facility (workplace).
TSA Workplace Standards identifies standard and specialty workspaces across the TSA portfolio – HQ, National Capital Region (NCR), and Field. The document is intended to be used by design consultants, government agencies (e.g., GSA), and TSA personnel involved with the planning, design, development, and alteration of TSA workplaces.
TSA has three standard workspace categories – Administrative, Distributed Support, and Mission. This document addresses their differences by identifying space standards throughout the TSA.
Administrative: Space that is devoted to organizational (e.g., executive, managerial, clerical) functions not specific to a functional group’s mission. Spaces in this category are generally static in nature and include private offices and workstations designed for single occupancy more than 50 percent of full time.
This is identified as “desk bound” use. Personnel who spend less than 50 percent of working time in the office will be assigned workspace as required.
Distributed Support: Support space that includes common areas shared by occupants. This is typically common support spaces (e.g., conference rooms, multi-purpose areas, copy rooms, pantries, supply rooms) used by everyone in the office. The target utilization for “Administrative” and “Distributed” space is 150 SF per space occupant under the DHS Workplace Strategy issued June 30, 2022. Any variance from this target must be reviewed and approved.
Mission�Support: Space that is in direct support of assigned functions. Currently, these spaces are defined by an occupancy / use parameter (e.g., classified, non-classified) and are categorized by size (i.e., small, medium, large, and mega). They include such spaces as Local Hiring Centers, Interview Rooms, Evidence Storage, and other law enforcement, investigation, and specialty functions. Many of these spaces operate 24/7 in direct support of TSA’s primary mission of traveler safety.
They also may be subcategorized as Mission Operations or Mission Training, as in the DHS Mission Space Definitions document.
This section of the TSA Workplace Standards document addresses allocations by space type, space name, space code, NSF and USF. It is not intended to establish specific furniture selection or alter construction, physical security, or IT PORs. Those documents are maintained separately and should be followed in conjunction with this document.
While a wide-ranging list, it is not intended to identify all possible spaces. Where there exists a need to deviate from the “standard,” a specific variance process will be defined.

5.1 INTRODUCTION
This section presents the standard spaces throughout TSA and provides an example of each space. These examples are meant as a reference only as the final space size and configuration may vary from what is shown here, dependent upon existing conditions, specific disciplinary guidelines, requirements, and policies documented in the Bibliography.
As stated in Chapter 4, TSA workspaces are separated into three categories:
Administrative� Distributed Support Mission�Support
Additionally, spaces are presented in either a standard or specialty sub-type.
Standard spaces are in more common use and constitute a greater share of the total space. Specialty spaces are in limited (but still common) use and not in use in all workplaces.
For purposes of this document, without further study of the basis for application of multipliers to NSF to calculate USF, this document uses the following multipliers for spaces, based upon documented use in the HQ Consolidation.
