The attached study indicates a <br /> functional maximum of 36.5 students(on average)per classroom. The requested maximum occupant load of 37 students per classroom <br /> exceeds all of these numbers. Besides meeting code requirements for plumbing fixture counts,reducing the occupant load will <br /> increase safety in the classrooms,as it will make it easier to access the exits and will reduce the number of occupants exiting the space. <br /> LIST SUBSTANTIATING EVIDENCE(REPORTS,STUDIES,ETC)-ATTACH COPIES OF DOCUMENTATION '.. <br /> Please see attached Maximum Occupant Load study. <br /> I hereby reque t ap rovftlo use an alternate material(s)and/or method(s)from that required by code as described above. <br /> `— , �-j Date: 1/31/23 <br /> /Signed: y� <br /> C OFFICE USE ONLY <br /> 'Jpproved <br /> I Approved with conditions <br /> I Denied <br /> Signed: //q(t(0 Date: relp 7 I 7n73 <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> 4110 G:\FORMS\RLDG.R-3]Almmme Material or Method Request doc <br />
