SERVICES)

NOTES;
1. Per Lome, existing structure is Type II, 1-hour,
2. Per Dennis, if any physical therapy occurs in this area, we won't meet 101
LifeSafety, ok as is,
3, Existing fire detection/fire supression system consists only of smoke detectors
throughout. Additional detectors will be required if the space is subdivided
beyond existing conditions, Contractor must submit proposed detector layout
for NFPA 27E approval. Dennis recommends contacting Owner before
disrupting existing system,
4, The length of the dead end office corridor in Central Services at 34' does not
present an egress problem, Having an occupant load far less than 100, it does
not have to be rated.
S, Tenant separation between Central Services and Work Hardening does not
have to exceed the 1-hour rating of all interior partitions. Conference Room
doors and doors between different tenants do not have to be rated. The
Conference Room door egressing into Central Services waiting area is ok, and
does not have to be rated as the Conference Room occupancy is far less than
SO,
6, Distance between the two exit doors, from Work Hardening to the building
corridor, is not optimal, but does not cause a problem given occupant load.
7,
Summations:
Lome and Dennis see no problems with the plan as reviewed, They expect the
Contractor to submit proposed smoke detector layout for NFPA 27E approval.
Lome agreed to provide L TW with information on fire detection system from
previous tenant improvement drawings,
