door hardware ?

[BSSTG]

Greetings all,

Existing bldg being remodeled. Occ load 85. Use is a combined office and reception area that will also be used for social gatherings and the like. It's actually associated with a a large RV park. So I'm not sure if it's a Group B or A. I am assuming Group A being more restrictive.

My question is about door hardware. We have 2 exits both of which will be side swinging. In reading 1008.1.9 of the

'06 IBC, panic hardware is required on both doors. Am I correct?

thanks

Byron
