    I know that we have a few on the board and I want to avail myself of your expertise for a quick off the top of your head guess. What would be the minimum square footage for a full size school basketball court with some side seating? Thanks to the good offices of Montgomery County, I figure it at approximately 4100sq.ft with one office and one store room, does this seem to make sense (74X50 + 150 + 250)?

    What would the minimum size footprint be for a 500 seat general purpose auditorium be? I can't find any guidelines for this.

    Cool. I just need really rough estimates (one for the NFP I'm on the board of, the other for my job).

    Anyone with access to an old edition of the Ramsey/Sleeper Architectural Graphic Standards reference book should be able to help out. We keep one in the design resource room, but I'm at home today. Eric should be able to help you out though. (It's on page 760 of the 10th edition, [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Architectural-Graphic-Standards-Tenth-Book/dp/0471348163]per this index view[/ame] available at Amazon.)
