33. Provide additional means of egress for L-2 that is remote from the current means of egress.
NFPA 101, 2018, 4.5.3.1 requires "two means of egress, as a minimum". NFPA 101, 2018,
7.4.1.2 requires not less than 3 means of egress for occupant load more than 500 but not

(NFPA 101, 2018, 12.2.5.1.2). The maximum length for common path of travel is 6.1m where
common path serves more than 50 occupants and 23m for common path serving not more
than 50 occupants.
35. Maximum dead-end corridor length exceeds the length permitted for assembly occupancies

means of egress for L3. NFPA 101, 2018, 7.4.1.2 requires not less than 3 means of egress for
occupant load more than 500 but not more than 1000. Based on the area tabulation provided,
the total occupant load for L3 is 998 persons (restaurant: 996 persons; technical areas: 2
persons). Three means of egress must be remote to one another.
39. The spiral staircase cannot serve as a means of egress for assembly occupancies because it is
not specifically permitted in NFPA 101, 2018, Chapter 12.
40. The horizontal sliding doors at GL/E-16 cannot serve as means of egress for assembly
occupancies because it is not specifically permitted in NFPA 101, 2018, Chapter 12.

exit access open to the atrium, for a period equal to 1.5 times the calculated egress time or 20
minutes, whichever is greater.

station; capacity: 1127 persons). Cable car station excluded because there is no area
tabulation.
65. Provide engineering analysis per NFPA 101, 2018, 8.6.7(5). The cylinders at GL/D-7 and GL/D-
10 have unenclosed floor openings that create atriums in two cylinders. An atrium is also
created in the space outside the cylinders from L-2 to the slab of L2.
NFPA 101, 2018, 8.6.7(5) requires that for atriums an engineering analysis be performed that
demonstrates that the building is designed to keep the smoke layer interface above the

minutes, whichever is greater.
