Hi Everyone,
Based on NFPA 101 I have an AHJ telling me that an online learning center that we interpreted to be Business occupancy is actually Educational occupancy.
Since it's a bunch of offices and computer workstations for teachers working with high school students who are not in the building--no classrooms it's online--we find this difficult to see as educational b/c the actual activities of the space are exactly like any typical office.
I realize hearing "high school" is a typical trigger per 14.1.4.2, but wouldn't this apply only if the students were in-house?
This is the third floor a sprinkled existing building previously permitted as business occupancy.
thanks!
