[Florida Code Talk] Occupant Loads (Educational) (FBCB Table 1004.1.1)

Educational occupancy for K-5 with rooms designated as Computer Lab and
Art Room.
 
Design professional indicates that occupant loads for these rooms are
based on 50 square feet/person.  DP contends that they are the same as
"shop and other vocational areas" mentioned in Table 1004.1.1 of FBCB.
I believe that occupant loads should be calculated the same as other
classrooms...20 square feet/person...based on intended use and age of
children using the rooms.  (Really a stretch to call these rooms shops
or vocational areas.)  What say ye?
 
Any and all replies will be greatly appreciated.  I hope that you will
share your opinions with discussion group...but feel free to reply
directly to me.  Thanks.
