Abstract
Training facilities are buildings where most of the spaces are open to the public due to the facilities. Improper design layout might bring chaos to the user that public spaces and private spaces might be mixed up, making the user confuse their destination to the desired facility. This paper aims to study the spatial permeability and wayfinding of a training facility. That helps to understand the relationship between space and how to lead users to their desired spaces. The selected case study is the Naval Training Facilities in Norway, this building consists of indoor and outdoor training facilities. The result of this study shows how to design training facilities at an acceptable level for permeability. Besides, this study also focuses on the pattern of wayfinding which is how to lead people from one space to another without confusion. Wayfinding can be very simple for the user moving around the public space and challenging for the user to move to the private area.
