I have a second floor mechanical space. the floor to floor height is 14'-8".
does the access stair need a landing because the vertical rise is greater than 12' per IBC 1011.8?
my interpretation is yes but a coworker thinks it doesn't because the stair is not serving an occupied space per IBC 1011.1
the mechanical room is approx. 2000 sf. the space is required to have 2 exits and the second exit is a ladder to the roof (IBC 1006.2.2.2)
Thank you for your thoughts.
