Yes a training room under 49 is a B. Training over 50 is an A. It really isn't that difficult.
Or is it a classroom....?

Too many designers do not go to the IEBC to work their way out of a problem IMO...
Does Cali use anything for existing and alterations? 101?
The 2015 IBC section 303.1.2 states that small assembly type spaces (say conference room or training rooms) with less than 50 occupants or smaller than 750SF can be classified as group B or the same as the primary occupancy which those spaces serve. Logic would derive that small assembly spaces with 50 or more people or larger than 750SF would not be classified as group B or the primary occupancy, and would have to be assigned to one of the assembly occupancy use groups.
I think I'm tracking you. Here is our office we understand there is a difference between the life safety occupant load which is for the egress of the greatest number of people possible and the occupancy type for construction.
Here’s how I would do it:Scenario:
In an Office TI you have a training room used for training call center new hires. The room is 1,671 SF. It is set up with tables and chairs for 50 students and one instructor. There are four (4) of these training rooms on a floor and this exceeds 10% of the floor area.
1. Is the Occupancy Load factor is 15 for Assembly unconcentrated with tables and chairs? 1,671/15=112 occupants.
2. Is the Occupancy Load factor is 20 for classroom? 1,671/20=84 occupants.
3. Is the Occupancy for B Concentrated is 51 actual seats? =51 occupants.
4. Is the space Occupancy Type considered A-3 (lecture Hall) and need to be separated from the rest of the B occupancy?
5. Is the space Occupancy Type considered B (training or concentrated) and not need to be separated from the rest of the B occupancy?
6. The space requires 2 exits from the room. When figuring out the total occupancy of the floor for exit width required from the floor do you use 112, 84, or 52 for this space? Does it matter that the people using the training room actually sit at a workstation on the same floor?
7. When figuring out the total occupancy of the floor for plumbing fixture count do you use 112, 84, or 52 for this space? Does it matter that the people using the training room actually sit at a workstation on the same floor?
