Hi folks, I have a question on a renovation of some locker rooms that serve an outdoor pool in an apartment building and there is an existing dead-end corridor condition that needs to be corrected.
-Arlington, VA (2015 Virginia Construction Code)
-Built around 1990 under BOCA, type I-B is the IBC equivalent. Fully sprinklered
-Updating locker rooms for ADA/FHA compliance
The attached file shows the configuration of doors. Currently D8 has no lock, just passage hardware. This allows people into the corridor where the locker room doors (D4, D6) are locked by single-cylinder deadbolts when the pool is closed. This creates an 85' dead end that is an issue. I was thinking that a solution would be to have a deadbolt on D8 with the signage "This door to remain unlocked when this space is occupied" per 10.10.1.9.3 exception 2.2, but I'm now seeing that this does not apply to our R-2 use group.
Does anyone see any options in the code that would allow us to close off access to the locker rooms and pool deck outside hours of operation? Electronic access control is an option but we would prefer to avoid it if possible. Thanks in advance!
