You will need to calculate the missing occupant loads for each area using the appropriate occupant load factor (write the OL in each space). Refer to the Table 1004.5 to help you answer the determine the occupant loads and the means of egress tables to answer the questions below. This plan is not drawn to scale; please use the dimensions provided as necessary. -30'-0" 40'-0" 20'-0" EXIT TO PUBLIC WAY 30'-0" MEETING ROOM 20'-0" STORAGE W ADMINISTRATION OFFICE M *30'-0" LIBRARY CENTRAL HALL OL-20 at tables A.
