Exceptions to the maximum of(6) occupants based on room area and intended use(i.e.wheelchair bound occupants)for dormitory rooms D222 and D223 and the three first floor accessible units have been noted in the "Occupant Loads" portion of the evaluation report. Diagrams for both the typical dormitory room and the ADA dormitory room have been provided. It should be noted that this evaluation was for the intended purpose of determining the allowable occupancy of each dormitory room and confirming that the existing means of egress system; exit, exit access, and exit discharge are adequate to necessitate the proposed maximum occupancy. As no work is being performed, no alterations are being made, and no changes are being proposed to the existing means of egress,the functionality, placement, and condition of: exit signs, handrails,guards, emergency egress lighting placement and illumination levels, panic and door hardware,elevator power supply and signaling devices,two-way communication systems, and any similarly required means of egress systems were not included as part of this review. It is assumed that these systems have been maintained by the owner and have been periodically inspected by the fire marshal.
