Most of the city blocks in Hoboken, New Jersey are 200 feet wide and 420 feet long.
Rough Estimates:
Estimating the number of classrooms in a 125 x 125 foot, 4-story school requires some assumptions about factors like average classroom size, allocation for non-classroom spaces, and building design.
Here's one estimate of the number of classrooms:
- Calculate total building area: Each floor's area is 125 ft x 125 ft = 15,625 square feet. A 4-story building would have 15,625 sq ft/floor * 4 floors = 62,500 square feet.
- Estimate classroom space allocation: Not all of the building's area is for classrooms. Hallways, stairwells, offices, restrooms, and specialized classrooms or facilities take up space. If 75% of the total square footage is for instruction, the usable classroom space would be 62,500 sq ft x 0.75 = 46,875 square feet.
- Therefore, a 4-story school on a 125 x 125 foot footprint could have dozens of classrooms, assuming 75% of the space is usable classroom space.
This is an estimate, and the actual number can vary based on the school's design and requirements as well as acquiring additional land for the school's footprint.
