    Hi All,
      Since I have not received any information about expected space
      requirements at BNL I did it myself
      based on my limited knowledge and assumptons.
      Below you see what I quoted that each of the PID detectors might
      need.
      
      dRICH    
      space size: ~360 ft2 high celing 18ft larger doors    
      space requirements: Clean room needed for full assembly
      with mirrors in particular. high ceiling is needed due to size of
      full detector (~4m diameter) access with lifting gantry capable of
      2.5 metric tons max. (detector wight expected to be 2 metric
      tons.) AC power and internet connectivity.    
      time line: 12 month prior to installation in the Hall    
      purpose: assembly detector and testing for installation in
      the HALL
      
      hpDIRC    
      space size: ~360 ft2 large doors modules are 12 feet
      long    
      space requirements: Normal lab space with power outlets
      and ethernet connectivity, Nitrogen gas supply (at atmospheric
      pressure)    
      time line: 9-12 month prior to installation in the Hall  
       
      purpose: testing and preparation for installation in the
      HALL
      
      pfRICH    
      space size: ~300 ft2    
      space requirements: Normal lab space with power outlets and
      ethernet connectivity, Nitrogen gas supply (at atmospheric
      pressure)    
      time line: 6 month prior to installation in the Hall    
      purpose: testing and preparation for installation in the
      HALL
      
      
      cheers,
