To calculate the occupant load of a science lab in a high school, would you use the 20 net SF factor for classrooms, or 50 net SF for shops and other vocational room areas (2009 IBC)?
As someone stated wrap the entire room, and to me the preps would be part of the lab anywayLGreene said:Here's a follow-up question...if you have 2 science labs with a prep room in between, and the IBC requires a separation between the lab and the remainder of the building because it is an incidental accessory occupancy, would the prep room walls need to be fire barriers, or could the fire barrier go around the outside of both labs and the prep room as a suite?
