The paper presents an applied research concerning the architectural detailing project of a refinery control centre in Morocco. The project was aimed at delivering the most appropriate control room conditions for the operators in charge of the supervision, so that they could operate in the best possible environmental performances, minimizing human errors and maximizing reliability and availability of facility operations in their whole. The paper describes methodological approach and results of the study, discussing how users’ needs and expectations resulting from analysis of job activities, together with a wide set of applicable technical standard and regulations, have brought to technical specifications integrating safety critical requirements into architectural detailing.
