In general I agree with you however I can't see the plans like you can.  So let me ask a few questions.

(1)    Do the plans show tables and seating layout?
(2)    Would the DP be willing to require a sign limiting the # of occupants?
(3)    Is the available egress so close to max that changing it to 1 person/20 sqft would put it over the edge?

BTW, thanks for the DCA DEC statement updates,  While many don't affect me that last one requested by Joe Belcher will be useful.

  Subject: [Florida Code Talk] Occupant Loads (Educational) (FBCB Table1004.1.1)


  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.

  Rob Harrell
