Good evening,
My clients are renting an office space where with two office rooms. The clients want to turn these two rooms into religious classrooms for many people, but due to the size of both spaces (10'4" x 10'4" and 10'4" by 12'6"), there obviously cannot be a lot of people in these rooms. I suggested perhaps an assembly occupancy with just chairs, and we knock out the wall dividing the spaces. They didn't want to do that and suggested doing a 72" width double door on that wall. They are adamant that this will make it "one room." But, my question is does that truly make it one room? To me, it's just a double door dividing two spaces, that are still very much separate spaces. How much of an opening in the wall would I need to truly make these two spaces one and increase the occupancy load?
Thank you in advance.
