At what point is a dedicated service elevator required for an office building?

Industry standard crieteria dictates that a typical multi-tenant office building requires a dedicated service elevator when the total building area approaches 250,000 GSF.  Additional dedicated service elevators are required for each increment of 250,000 GSF.  Unless there is a specific requirement for a dedicated service elevator, most buildings having less than 250,000 GSF can satisfactorily operate with a part-time service elevator (swing car) that provides passenger service as its primary duty and service needs during off passenger peak periods.
