Ms. Nadia Azarova Craft Architects Plan Check Number: B1808-012, First Review October 1, 2018 Architectural General: 1. It is understood per discussions with the project architect that the design for the area between Grids E.3-F.6/2.9-4.6 may be revised. The architect has indicated the area will be revised to include a 125 psf storage area above the office/laboratory space. Based on this understanding, a review of this area has not been performed at this time. Revisions to this space should be included in the revised submittal. Additional comments may be provided pending the review for this portion of the project. Alternatively, it is understood that the applicant may opt to remove this area from the current phase of the project. The intended work for this area should be clearly shown and supporting documentation provided for review as required. See IBC Section 107.2.1. 2. It is understood per discussions with the project architect that multiple additional mezzanines are planned in the areas currently designated as storage. In addition, portions of the storage areas may be used for non-storage purposes (e.g., research/testing space, etc.). These tenant improvements will be submitted in future phases. The applicant should be aware that the occupant load is being determined based on the space allocation in the phase of work. Future phases will be required to verify that the design is adequate for the additional tenant improvements. Required modifications to the existing building, including the current tenant improvements, must be determined based on the increased occupant load or other factors associated with the subsequent phases (e.g., egress requirements, fire protection, etc.). See IEBC Section 504. Egress: 3. Sheet A0.1 shows exit signs located throughout the building. The building appears to require additional exit signs at multiple locations. Locations requiring signs include the exits at the corners of the building where the door is not visible by line-of-site, at doors and hallways leading into the office and lab spaces along Grid 2, and at intermediate doors and hallways through the tenant spaces on Grid 2. Direction arrows shall be provided where required to clarify the direction to the exits. Note that the location of several signs is not clear. The exact location shall be indicated. Where a sign is located above a door and can not be clearly seen by line-of-sight, an additional visible sign shall be provided. See IBC Section 1013.1. 4. The area between Grids E.3-F.6/2.9-4.6 requires egress through the fenced area to the east per Sheet A0.1. It is unclear if the doors at the south side are locked. If the doors are locked or not otherwise readily openable, the egress path shall be revised. See IBC Section 1010.1.9 Miscellaneous: 5. Sheet A2.4 indicates that the Second Floor will include blackout curtains. The Second Floor ceiling plan on Sheet A2.8 does not appear to include tracks for the curtains. Details coordinating the curtain installation with the other building systems should be included. See IBC Section 107.2.1.
