Trying to figure out the bathroom fixture count for a high school dining hall. Is it A2 or E? Using MA plumbing code.
Where did you get those very insightful occupancy assumptions? They make perfect sense. Don't remember seeing any of that in the CommentaryIt is an assembly use which has a lower fixture count than an educational. An "E" use is 6 or 7 hours per day whereas a school dining room is occupied for 30 to 60 minutes before a new group of students coming in and the existing group is heading back to the school.
I like the way you think!Observation and common sense. My grandkids attend a school in another state with a similar lunch room and when we visit we have lunch with them at the school. The lunch period is 35 minutes and the school has 4 lunch periods so the children do not even have time to use a restroom.
