    ANSI 117.1 (Interior Fit-Out) Clearances per "New/Addition" or "Existing Building"?

    Thank you so much. This clears it up in my mind.

    ANSI 117.1 (Interior Fit-Out) Clearances per "New/Addition" or "Existing Building"?

    Sorry, I wasn't clear in my question. I know that we need to comply with A117.1-2017 (we are clearly beyond any hardship threshold), but inside of A117.1-2017, they offer two sets of maneuvring clearances (See 404.2.3.2 "Swinging Doors and Gates", for example). For new buildings the clearances...

    ANSI 117.1 (Interior Fit-Out) Clearances per "New/Addition" or "Existing Building"?

    Thanks for your response. The fit out will consist of several stories within an existing high rise office building. It will need to be accessible. Works include: new interior partitions & doors, suspended ceilings, all MEP / FP / AV / IT services, interior finishes, systems furniture, and the likes.

    ANSI 117.1 (Interior Fit-Out) Clearances per "New/Addition" or "Existing Building"?

    By the way, the project is in New York City, and the building is under the 2014 NYC Building Code, which references the A117.1 for accessibility design... I'm wondering if the interpretation of Addition vs. Existing is under the scope of the NYC DOB to determine?

    ANSI 117.1 (Interior Fit-Out) Clearances per "New/Addition" or "Existing Building"?

    The update to ANSI 117.1 has different required accessible maneuvering clearances for "New Buildings vs. Additions" or "Existing Buildings." Which should a non-structural interior fit-out commercial office) follow? This does not seem to be clearly defined by the ANSI 117.1 definitions. a. Is...
