• doorway would appear to be needed to exit the space. Please note that leaving an operable partition open would not satisfy this requirement as this would no longer be considered a classroom and be considered part of the circulation. Please revise plans as required. If accordion doors are to be the designated means of egress component,please provide additional information such that the provisions of IBC 1010.1.4.3 are satisfied. IBC 1006.2, 1010.1.2, 1010.1.4.3. Architect response:The exit door is already provided in the movable partition. We have added a note to provide "panic hardware and exit sign". See revised A0.2. 3. On Sheet A0.2,the addition of movable partitions appears to require validation of exit access doorways for multiple occupancy loads and configurations. For instance,the combined occupant load of Classroom 1 and 2 (and Classroom 3 is enclosed)or Classroom 2 and 3 (and Classroom 1 is enclosed)would have a combined occupant load of 76 and 78, respectively. Per IBC 1006.2.1,these occupant loads exceed 49 and would require another exit access doorway. Please update plans as required. Architect response: Each movable partition is already equipped with an exit door. We have made the doors a bit darker for clarification. See revised A0.2. 4. Please identify panic hardware on doors in the door schedule where occupant loads greater than or equal to 50 are passing through on Sheet A6.0 as this appears to be missing from the plans. IBC 1010.1.10. Architect response: We have complied. See revised A6.0. 5. On Sheet A2.0,Storage Room 129 and Cry Room 127 have a window between the (2)spaces. The Wall Type is indicated to be W2. Please clarify as it would appear that wall W2 is intended to be between these spaces. IBC 107.2.1. Architect response:The window between the (2) spaces have been eliminated. See revised A2.0 STRUCTURAL 1. It is unclear if the existing steel roof framing along Grid 2 is adequate with the removal of the posts near Grid C and D. Please verify with additional calculations as required. IBC 1604. Architect response:See Structural response.
