Airports

Looking for the major occupancy type to an Airport, can find no direction in A-3.1.2.1.(1) Major Occupancy Classification in the NBCC 2015 or from searching online.

In IBC and LSC it's A, A3 in IBC - "Waiting areas in transportation terminals". (You didn't expect it to say airport, did you? )

Best I can tell from the National Building Code in Canada is Assembly Occupancy A2 for "Passenger stations and depots" which jives with your note above. cheers!

That's what I'd go with.

Off the top of my balding noggin, you might have areas that are impeded egress areas, or, conceivably, a contained use area. (Security detention).

I would class it as an A2 as well. The occupant density tracks with other uses listed there.

Interesting, I hadn't considered this. thanks.

We're all in this together.

(Or, unlike your average gubbermint committee, more people leads to a better chance of getting it right.)
