Sounds sprawly to me.

That's not so bad. That would be 20,000 to 25,000 square feet per floor. That's about average for most skyscrapers actually. There was an old Skaggs-Alpha-Beta grocery store (bought out by Albertsons) near my house. It had 60,000 square feet in one story. I'm imagining a building with half that footprint, and it's not that bad. By the way, that old grocery store itself was torn down and bought by Austin Community College. The old building was full of asbestos and wasn't what they needed. So they tore it down and built a 3-story, 86,000 square foot building. Still quite a small footprint, though still more horizontal than vertical. But 20 to 25,000 square feet per floor isn't so squatty when you compare it to skyscrapers. it's just that the building is less tall, so it's wider than it is taller.
