Applicable code:2012 IBC Chapter 10, handrails.There is a proposal to have an open assembly area within a larger office area to have stadium seating. There is one access aisle on one side only with only hand rail. Normally a handrail is required on BOTH sides of a stairway but it is common that end aisles serving stadium seating for movie theaters will have one hand rail running along the half-high wall. In this scenario, we are missing the upholstered seats.Does anyone provide a definitive answer whether-or-not the handrails sketched in red-yellow would be needed?See attachment.Happy Holidays!ICC Certified Plan ReviewerNFPA Certified Fire Plan Examiner
