Church requesting occupancy for daycare, pre-school and thru 12th grade school. Two story building with one small elevator to second story. No added bathroom facilities, as is. I haven't done one of these before. Daycare and pre-school on first floor; and, 3rd thru 12th grade second floor. Using small sunday school rooms for class rooms and daycare. Any pointers in the right direction will be greatly appreciated. Uncle Bob :(
 
Will you have any I-4?

Is it sprinkled?

Any fire alarm?

Does the state regulate day cares in anyway??

Sq ft total?
 
generally, elementary school class rooms require access directly to the exterior, but that may be a state requirement not an IBC requirement. Preschool usually means students over 2.5 years old, so it's an E occupancy.
