1: Executive Summary
Executive Summary
Hobbs Architects, PA is pleased to submit this pre-design report, the culmination of efforts by
stakeholders committed to the success of the Emergency Services Training programs at Central Carolina
Community College.
The primary objectives of this pre-design phase are to develop a preliminary site plan, preliminary building
plan, and a preliminary budget for a proposed new building at CCCC's EST campus.
Hobbs Architects, PA worked with departmental staff to develop a space programming list of necessary
site and building items for inclusion in the new design. Through numerous meetings, a preliminary site and
floor plan have been developed upon which preliminary budget figures have been based. Hobbs
Architects, PA commissioned RDK Engineers for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design input; CLH
Design, PA for civil and landscape design input; and Stroud Pence for structural design input.
The following is an outline of the key findings included in this report:
Site:






The approx. 98 acre site is well-suited to accommodate the proposed new building, as well as
significant future growth.
Basic utilities are already present on site in relative proximity to the proposed new building
location.
The overall topography of the site is relatively flat, with piped stormwater being discharged at the
northeast of the site.
Some surface parking is present on site, with current student overflow parking located on grass
surfaces. A gravel parking area for 60 cars may be included in the project, budget permitting.
Security fencing may be added at the property's western border, and near equipment storage
buildings, budget permitting.
A future high bay facility is shown as replacing the former terminal building, though not a part of
this project's scope.
Building:
 Proposed square footage: +/- 8,000 SF
 Proposed building is one story and located adjacent to the existing classroom (former airport
terminal) building
 Program elements include exercise and mat rooms, locker and shower rooms, 1-2 classrooms,
and a small office suite.
 The building's HVAC system will likely consist of multiple DX-cooling heat pump split systems.
Enclosed are further materials detailing the programmatic, regulatory, and budgetary context of the
proposed project. Hobbs Architects is committed to serving CCCC through the realization of this
important milestone in the Emergency Services Training program's growth.

2: Programming Information
Programming Information
Hobbs Architects, PA conducted two meetings with CCCC Emergency Services Training program
coordinators to determine specific spatial requirements of the proposed new building. CCCC has a
regional reputation for emergency services training, and the EST campus accordingly serves as a regional
resource. To maintain and augment this status, the current program has unmet needs related to the
physical training aspects of the EST curricula, and seeks to meet those needs with new construction.
The EST program has minimal flexibility in scheduling physical training aspects of the curriculum due to
the absence of on-site locker and shower rooms. The program also requires an increase in available
indoor exercise and physical training spaces. Current accreditation standards dictate sizing of various
spaces as indicated (mat room and classrooms). The addition of two classrooms would greatly ease
scheduling pressures for Law Enforcement and Fire and Rescue training programs.
Initial scope considered the study of two locations on site: one as an addition to the brick ESTC building,
and another as a new facility elsewhere on campus. Once CCCC's space needs were identified, however,
it became apparent that there is insufficient area adjacent to the ESTC building to accommodate the
required program in a one-story configuration. A two-story configuration is cost-prohibitive. Costly utility rerouting would also have contributed negatively to the project's budget were this option to be pursued.
Future expansion on the airport campus was discussed. Future building program goals outlined by CCCC
included two main facilities: a teaching high-bay space, and a firing range. Zoning and regulatory
challenges may hinder the development of any firing range that has an outdoor component. It is
recommended that a future firing range facility be considered as an indoor range only, with appropriate
acoustic controls and hazardous material (lead) abatement. A 6,000 sq.ft. high bay building footprint is
shown as overlaid atop the former terminal building, which is the preferred location for the future high bay
facility's construction.
Space List
A summary space list was compiled as a result of programming efforts. Based on the needs expressed by
CCCC, an approximately 8,000 sq.ft. one-story building is proposed.

Building Engineering Systems
The following preliminary design selections have been outlined relative to engineering systems:
HVAC
The mechanical system shall consist of multiple DX-cooling heat pump split systems. Any mechanical
rooms will be sized according to equipment selections and recommended clearances, and will include
appropriate access to equipment for CCCC and other maintenance personnel.
Plumbing Fixtures and Water Heating
The plumbing system shall consist of a gas fire water heater with storage tank and recirculation loop.
Manual fixtures shall be used throughout. Water closets shall be handle-type floor-mounted. A mop sink
with shelving will be provided in the housekeeping closet. Dual flush and pint use fixtures shall be
considered for use. Locker room showers and area floor drains shall be provided.
Electrical
Emergency power is not required above code minimum standards relative to life safety. LED vs.
fluorescent lighting will be evaluated. Lighting controls will be a contactor-based system with occupancy
sensors and appropriate overrides. TVSS (transient voltage surge suppression) will be provided at
incoming power service, and at fire alarm, communication, and security systems as required.
Fire Protection, Fire Alarm, and Smoke Detection
A sprinkler system is not required due to the building's small size and occupancy type. Fire alarm and
smoke detection systems and devices will be provided as required by code. The fire alarm system shall be
addressable.
Tel/Data and Security
The electrical / IT room will be provided with a mini-split HVAC unit as required. Wireless access points will
be provided, as will infrastructure for VOIP telephony. A box and conduit system will be provided for
telecom and security systems.
Structural
To minimize cost pressures, the Emergency Services Training Center building will consist of a 1 story,
8,000 square foot, stand alone, pre-engineered metal building. The building’s structural system will be
comprised of the manufacturer’s standard moment resisting frames with intermediate cold formed steel
roof purlins to support the roof loads. Lateral support will also be provided by the moment frames in one
direction while rod bracing or portal frames will provide lateral support in the other direction. If a brick
façade is selected for the building, structural design will include non load bearing cold formed metal stud
exterior walls to support the brick. If a metal panel façade is selected, the manufacturer’s standard cold
formed steel wall girts will be used for the metal panel support. Foundations are expected to be shallow
spread footings tied to the slab-on-grade to resist vertical and lateral loads.
Site Infrastructure and Improvements
An early site analysis was conducted based on a site visit and drawings obtained from CCCC, dated
March 2009. At the time of this report's issuance, CCCC's consulting surveyor was completing a localized
survey of the project area.

City water appears to arrive on site via Airport Road, routing westwards near the burn building, and tees
off towards the existing terminal building and the ESTC building. Numerous fire hydrants exist on site in
support of the fire response training program.
Surface runoff generally flows from west to east from adjacent Lee County High School. Catch basins are
present and stormwater is piped to a discharge area at the northeast corner of the airport site.
Sewer appears to arrive on site from the southwest, parallel to the runway. The design team anticipates
that the closest tie-in may be southeast of the ESTC building, just past the security gate onto the runway
and apron area. The former terminal building, adjacent to the proposed new construction, is currently
served by an aging septic system. The proposed location of the new building appears to not conflict with
neither the septic tank nor drainfield locations.
Electrical power appears to arrive on site via overhead lines along the main entry drive, transitioning to
underground across the street from the existing terminal building. Telephone appears to parallel the power
across the entry drive.
Two areas of bermed topsoil or fill exist on the site across the drive from the proposed building location,
the result of earthwork associated with the high school construction. This soil may be suitable as fill if
required for this project.
Discussions regarding required parking provisions are ongoing with City of Sanford Zoning. The project
proposes to add 40 parking spaces adjacent to the building, off of the main entry drive. UDO metrics
require the provision of 1 space per 200 square feet of building gross floor area, or 1 space per 4
students, whichever is greater. A gravel overflow lot may be provided, budget permitting.

Zoning / Environmental
Discussions regarding required parking provisions are ongoing with City of Sanford Zoning. The project
proposes to add localized parking adjacent to the building, off of the main entry drive. UDO metrics
require the provision of 1 space per 200 square feet of building gross floor area, or 1 space per 4
students, whichever is greater. A gravel overflow lot may be provided, budget permitting.
Since an addition to an existing building has been ruled out as an option, no hazardous material
evaluation has been conducted and is not deemed necessary as part of the project scope.

Building
The proposed building is one-story and 8,000 sq.ft., with a single primary occupancy as Business. The
Exercise and Mat Rooms are of a size below the threshold of being considered A-3 occupancy, due to an
occupant count of less than 50 per room. The classrooms also have lower than 50 occupants each. Due
to small size and one-story height of the building, any construction type permitted by the 2012 NC Building
Code is allowable to be utilized.
Fire Protection, Fire Alarm, and Smoke Detection
A sprinkler system is not required due to the building's small size and occupancy type. Fire alarm and
smoke detection systems and devices will be provided as required by code. The fire alarm system shall be
addressable.
Plumbing Fixture Count
The minimum required plumbing fixture counts are 3 water closets/urinals and 2 lavatories for men, 3
water closets and 2 lavatories for women, and 2 drinking fountains. Locker and shower fixtures counts are
all above the minimum required. ESTC has requested that additional fixtures be allocated to the men's
locker rooms, to reflect their typical student demographic. The design team will consult with the relevant
AHJ to determine the permissibility of this provision.
(Refer to the plumbing fixture spreadsheet included in the appendix.)
Energy
The project is governed by the requirements of the 2012 NC Energy Code. The project is not subject to the
sustainability requirements of Senate Bill 668, nor the Net Savings Required requirements of HB 628. State
Construction Office Life Cycle Cost Analysis is not required for this project, as it is under 20,000 sq.ft.
LEED certification will not be pursued as part of this project's scope. The project is subject to the energy
performance standards enumerated in the 2012 North Carolinas Energy Code.

ESTC Pre-Design Kickoff Meeting Minutes
April 9, 2015
CCCC Wicker Civic Center Board Room, 10:00 AM
Attendees:
Hobbs Architects: Taylor Hobbs, Chevon File, Allison Blanks
CCCC: Donnie Lowder, Dr. Phillip Price, Ronnie Measamer, Dwight Dixon, Felicia Crittenden, Dawn
Michelle Tucker, Dr. Pamela Senegal
General Discussion:
 CCCC leadership has a regional vision for the ESTC. Key aspects of this project serve the goal of promoting
the center as a regional resource, as well as addressing accreditation requirements for square footage per
student and provision of showers. Acquisition of adjacent properties can help with this long term goal.
 Site options for the new building were discussed, with the majority of discussion centering on proximity to
the existing terminal building.
 Future expansion is to be incorporated into site master planning.
 The overall site has drainage challenges, as all drainage from the adjacent high school parcel flows to the
CCCC site.
 Any new construction is assumed to be on county sewer. The former terminal building is on an individual
septic system (location of tank and drain field to be verified).
 The City of Sanford and Lee County are the combined local AHJ.
 Current overflow parking is in a field nearby; parking may be included as part of this project scope, either as
gravel or paved. Typically 25-50 cars park in the field when necessary.
 Ronnie Measamer will be the primary contact for this project.
 The concept of a two-story "gymnatorium" with second story running track was suggested.
 Specific programmed spaces were discussed as follows, in order of priority for inclusion in the project
(revised per Dwight Dixon email 4.10.2015):
Priority 1:
Mat Room :
 Sized for 30 students at 50 square feet per student.
Workout/Exercise Room:
 Sized for 30 students; no square footage per student requirement; sized to accommodate
workout equipment.
Showers/Locker Rooms:
 Currently no showers are provided at the ESTC campus, prohibiting PT to be done in the
mornings. Current practice is to do PT in the afternoons, with students showering at home.
 A maximum simultaneous load of 60 students may use locker rooms/showers at once.
 100 men's lockers are required; 25-30 women's lockers are required.
 Showers should be private with integral undressing area.
 Some small improvements to tactical training area, track, and/or security fencing may be included
as priority 1 scope.

Priority 2:
Classrooms:
 Two to four additional classrooms (sized for 30 students at 24 sq.ft. each) are desired.
Classrooms should be grouped in pairs, with A/V provisions for overhead projection and
SmartBoard technology.
Priority 3:
High Bay Space:
 A high bay space for vehicles is desired (four bays), but if not possible to provide, should be
accounted for in terms of future expansion.
Priority 4:
Live Ammunition Firing Range:
 Indoor or indoor/outdoor is preferred. 50 yards pistol range should be the design range length,
with revolving/movable targets, lead abatement and HVAC provisions as required.
 Noise concerns are a consideration with adjacent residential and high school properties.
 15-20 students will be firing simultaneously.
 Ammunition and gun storage is required, as is a safety booth.
 In later correspondence, CCCC advised Hobbs that the accreditation body does not specifically
exclude indoor/outdoor ranges as acceptable.
Priority 5:
Extensive Track/Exterior Improvements:
 Skid pan: a 100-yard area of smooth pavement; when wet serves to facilitate training of driving
on wet/slick conditions.
 Security fencing around key areas.
Misc. Discussion
 Offices will be required - up to two were discussed.
 A small break room may also be required.
 IT, Electrical, Telecom as required
 Non-lethal ammunition range / provisions are not part of this project scope.
 FFE (fixtures, furnishings, and equipment) will be by owner (not in project scope/budget).
 There are no emergency power requirements beyond code-required. No card readers are required.
Next Steps:



3-4 weeks is targeted completion date for pre-design efforts. Weekly progress
meetings/updates are to be scheduled.
CCCC to follow up with Hobbs regarding possibility of re-allocating site budget of $500,000
to building budget of $1,500,000.
Upcoming buildings and grounds committee will include updates on this project.

ESTC Meeting #2 Minutes
April 16, 2015
CCCC Wicker Civic Center Conference Room, 11:00 AM
Attendees:
Hobbs Architects: Taylor Hobbs, Allison Blanks
CCCC: Donnie Lowder, Dr. Phillip Price, Ronnie Measamer, Dwight Dixon, Dawn Michelle Tucker, Dr.
Pamela Senegal
CLH Design, PA: Steve Miller
General Discussion:
 Minutes of the last meeting were approved with no modifications.
 CCCC shared with the group that a "Pod" modular classroom unit is planned to be moved to the ESTC
campus. A drawing shared later showed the Pod to be 163'-4" by 72' (approx. 11,750 sf). This would provide
(8) 25-seat classrooms for use. These pods are intended for use by some of the ESTC's ancillary training
programs.
 This pod will be shown on the masterplan for site placement evaluation, but is currently not planned as part
of the scope of this project. The currently proposed new building project remains as serving the law
enforcement and fire training programs.
 Any future meetings that plan to address security planning should include Frank Bedoe, Director of Campus
Security and Safety.
Site Plan Options Review
 Hobbs Architects presented two site plan options (A and B) for consideration.
 Option A located the new building directly to the plan - east of the former terminal building. The entry- facing
facade/corner is envisioned as a "feature" or otherwise distinctive architectural treatment to create a more
formal sense of entry to the campus (the campus' new symbolic "front door"). New accessible parking was
shown along the existing entry road, and an area to the plan south-east of the new building could serve as
parking. Future expansion grows towards the plan-south (towards the burn building), with new classroom
buildings shown as added closer to the entry gate.
 Option B locates overflow parking in the same location as Option A, but locates the new building directly
across from the former terminal building, closer to the main building, in a more "dense" campus
configuration. Existing stormwater lines may require relocation with Option B.
 Dwight Dixon noted that on both options, the hypothetical connection between the entry drive and the
southern roadways near the burn building is not preferred; the current procedure of maintaining access
control to the vehicular training areas near the high bay building gate is preferred.
 The location of the firing range was problematic in both options; the design team commented that zoning
may now allow a firing range, and assumed that if it was permitted, would need to be a fully enclosed indoor
range.
 The nature of the high bay building was clarified - this building will also have classrooms in it, and need to be
located near the new classroom building. It is more ideal to be located where the existing terminal building is
as part of future efforts.

Earthwork fill came from the high school construction project, and was used to build up the grade for the
admin building, training tower, and burn building. Remaining topsoil was bermed on the site in the current
configurations.
Stormwater design will need to be considered; as part of the design process, CLH Design will determine
watershed protection requirements that may be applicable, as well as any onsite treatment devices that may
be required.
Existing sewer is available along the runway, turning towards the admin building.
Option A was agreed upon as the preferred option to proceed with.
Should the two funding groups be unable to be combined, scope of fencing was discussed as needed
towards the border with the school (preventing vehicular traffic between two fence lines), and around the
equipment building.
Programming / Plan Diagram Discussion:
 Hobbs shared a spreadsheet of space listings and associated square footages. The new building is
proposed to be approximately 8,000 square feet (1-story), and accommodate one to two classrooms, plus
shower/locker rooms, exercise/mat rooms, offices, and support spaces.
 A "block diagram" of space adjacencies was shared to stimulate discussion about relationship of spaces.
CCCC commented that additional access to the mat room without having to go through the locker room is
desired.
 A men's shower count of 6 showers and 5 toilets/urinals was used as a planning basis; CCCC expressed
concern that the number of showers may need to be increased. The AHJ may allow flexibility as to the
required ratios of gender-based locker room facilities, given the program's demographics.
 A connector to the existing former terminal building is not critical. 30' separation is shown between the two
buildings to avoid any exterior fire-rated walls.
 The former terminal building primarily serves motorcycle classes on the weekends.
 Attendees suggested flipping the floor plan to have classrooms towards the terminal building, with the idea
that a future high bay classroom building could share an "entry courtyard" type layout.
 Dwight Dixon will further examine the floor plan diagram with his colleagues and provide comment.
Next Steps:



Hobbs will work with CLH to update the schematic site plan to be Option A, and show a high bay
space overlaid on the terminal building.
CCCC to follow up with Hobbs regarding possibility of re-allocating site budget of $500,000 to
building budget of $1,500,000; anticipated Monday April 20.
Hobbs will confirm next meeting time and date.

New buildings will be battery powered fixtures, wall mounted or celling mounted independent fixture. Existing Wicker Civic Center is possible site for public shelter, CCCC in talks with City/County. CCCC will forward memo of understanding between City/County and college. 19. Main switchgear – Monitor power use via BAS to allow for trending and historical data collection. CCCC does not use a standard power meter or software package to monitor all campus buildings. CCCC desires to monitor building utilities and would be interested in a scheme that could provide this for the new buildings then retrofit older buildings on campus. RDK will work with CCCC and share prior experience with other owners to inform them of options available. 20. Lighting – Consider LED vs. Florescent technology. Daylighting will be a consideration for classroom buildings/spaces. Wicker center desires to replace a decent amount of the lighting. Zoning of systems preferred over dimming for most spaces, including classrooms. 21. Telecom – Typical RDK design is acceptable for MDF/IDF room requirements. Infrastructure, power, cabling management, will be specified by RDK for IDF/MDF rooms, owner provides electronics. Health Science may have small data center relocated from Bell Building for Disaster Recovery (DR). Further discussions will be required to verify where on campus fiber can be pulled from/to; a vault is present near the marketing house south of Kelly Drive, but routing within campus is undocumented. Campus uses multimode 50‐micron fiber for campus distribution. IT rooms to be stacked within building. Campus uses VOIP. Further discussion of system configuration will occur as designs develop. Hobbs to include at least 10'x10' for telecom/IT rooms (SCO standard is 10'x10' up to 20,000sf building). 22. Wireless Access – Presently exists throughout campus, extend to all buildings. New buildings will be equipped with WAP. 23. Clock Tower – CCCC has a masterplan that include a clock tower for the campus. A stub out from health science for electrical feed may be required. 24. Kitchen – Wicker center is planning a full commercial kitchen and a small prep kitchen. Separate gas monitoring for kitchen with shutoff is desired. Desire remote shutoff via solenoid valve on the teaching kitchen. 25. Insulation – concerns over poor workmanship causing maintenance headaches. 26. Vet Med – DI water system required in Vet Med space. 27. TVSS / Lighting Protection – desired at incoming service, fire alarm system, communication and security system. Long history on campus with systems being taken down due to no TVSS protection. Possibly BAS controls to receive as well. Lighting protection is not anticipated or budgeted for any of the projects presently. 28. General campus ‐ renovations may include adding a welding shop, large electrical load addition expected. To be addressed in design. 29. Arc flash / compliant labeling to be incorporated into new building work. 30. CCCC would like to be included in the routing of key equipment submittals during CA. 31.

Discussion Points:
 While the new addition will be constructed of Type IIB non -combustible construction, given that the existing
kennel is of Type VB construction, the building will be considered Type VB (the more stringent code
application).
 The building addition will be in an existing parking lot, potentially impacting fire department access to the
courtyard-side of the adjacent buildings. While the new addition will be 30' from the adjacent Joyner Hall,
the intention is to partially use that space as a dog run for the building's kennel. Code requires that all
portions of all buildings be within 150' feet of access by fire trucks. The Sanford Fire Marshal recommends, if
the dog run cannot be relocated, that alternate fire department access be provided to the courtyard from the
other side of Joyner Hall. Hobbs Architects will investigate this option and provide a diagram of fire
department access for review by the Fire Marshal. Another option proposed was to provide a lock box at the
dog run gates so that fire trucks can pass through. Ken Cotten was concerned about building collapse on
the designated fire truck route.
 The building will require gas storage (nitrogen and oxygen) for use in animal medical procedures. These
gases could be stored on the exterior of the building and then piped into the building. Hobbs Architects will
work with CCCC to determine the total quantities of gas needed. The Sanford Fire Marshal recommended
referencing Chapter 2703.1 of the NC Fire Code for Maximum Allowable Quantities of the gases and Chapter
3006 for regulations on medical gas.
 Accessibility and navigation of existing grades on site were discussed. Given the grade change between the
existing VMT kennel building and the addition, Hobbs Architects may propose using a HC lift in combination
with ramping inside the building. Both the existing building and the new addition will be entered at grade.
Dennis A. Wicker Center Addition and Renovation:
Code Summary: For purposes of this summary, the 'addition' is conceived as a separate building, located +/- 40'
from the existing Wicker Center. A covered pedestrian plaza would connect the two buildings.
 Occupancy: Assembly (A-3)
 Construction Type: Type IIB non-combustible construction
 Square Footage Proposed: +/-9,500 SF 'addition' in a separate building; renovation of 36,000 SF existing
building
 Mixed Use: Non-separated mixed use
 Square Footage Allowed: Table 503 Type IIB construction = 9,500 SF allowed per floor (in addition)
Frontage increase per floor = 9,500 SF x 62% increase = 15,466 SF per floor allowable (in addition)
 Occupant Load: 298 persons (in addition)
 Fire Area: +/- 11,800 SF (including addition and covered plaza)
 Sprinklers: Presumed to not be required in addition given the fire separation distance, occupant load and
size of fire area.
 Fire Separation Distance: >15' to centerline between addition and existing building.
 Fire Ratings: Some fire partitions may be required at incidental use spaces. Corridors will be required to be
rated per Table 1018.1 (A occupancy, no sprinkler system) No exterior rated walls are anticipated, given
distance to adjacent buildings (Table 602 - fire separation distance > 10').
 ADA Accessibility: All primary spaces within the building will be accessible and on an accessible route.
Discussion Points:
 The existing Wicker Center does not have a sprinkler system. The Sanford Fire Marshal believes the
applicable building code at the time the facility was built actually required sprinklers for a facility of its type.

Hobbs Architects and the Sanford Fire Marshal agreed to investigate the applicable code from the time the
building was built.
Hobbs Architects had a very early, conceptual conversation with the NC Department of Insurance about the
code requirements for an addition to an existing non-sprinklered building. DOI's assessment was as follows:
as long the addition was not adding to the existing building's fire area, then it was not required to add a
sprinkler system to the existing building.
The new 'addition' is proposed to be a separate building, with a fire separation distance of greater than 15'
to the centerline between addition and existing. A covered, open-air plaza is proposed between the two
buildings. The structure of this covered plaza could be stand-alone (not structurally connected to the
existing building.
The occupant load of the proposed addition was reviewed. The current proposed occupant load is based
on 7 NSF/ person in the break-out rooms (when operable partitions are open) and 5 NSF/ person in the
gallery for all areas outside of circulation space. The Sanford Fire Marshal requested that required clear
egress widths be kept at all times in the gallery space. Hobbs Architects will show vendor placement in the
gallery for review.
CCCC and Lee County would like to be able to use the Wicker Center as an emergency shelter. It is unclear
if there is desire to use the building as a refuge during emergency events, or as an overflow shelter. Hobbs
Architects will clarify with CCCC. Depending on the use of the building as shelter, the applicable code
sections will change.
Health Sciences Building:
Code Summary:
 Occupancy: Business
 Construction Type: Type IIB non-combustible construction
 Square Footage Proposed: +/-30,000 SF new construction
 Mixed Use: Non-separated mixed use
 Square Footage Allowed: Table 503 Type IIB construction = 23,000 SF allowed per floor
Frontage increase per floor = 23,000 SF x 75% increase = 40,250 SF per floor total allowable
 Sprinklers: Not required
 Fire Separation Distance: >30'
 Fire ratings: Some fire partitions may be required at incidental use spaces. Corridors are not required to be
rated per Table 1018.1, exception f. (single tenant space with rated floors between stories). No exterior rated
walls are anticipated, given distance to adjacent buildings (Table 602 - fire separation distance > 10')
 ADA Accessibility: All primary spaces within the building will be accessible and on an accessible route.
Discussion Points:
 The basic plan was reviewed (two story, double loaded corridor with stairs at either end and an elevator).
Chris Riggins confirmed that, given there is only one tenant, the corridors do not have to be rated if the floor
is rated.
