Re: Smith College Conference Center, 51 College Lane, Northampton, MA: Conference
Center Deck Renovation Project and removal of one of three doors out of Dining Room.
Dear Louis,
I have been working with Keiter Builders and overseeing the reconstruction of the Smith College
Conference Center 14'x 32' deck. The Dining Room adjacent to the deck originally had a door
and a set of stairs leading out onto the deck. As part of the deck renovation project the door and
stairs were removed and the door was reframed for a new window. This door was not a required
means of egress. The Dining Room is approximately 1700 ft2 and has a Use Group of A-2.
Under Table 1004.1.1: Maximum Floor Area Allowances Per Occupant; Assembly— Standing
space is 5 ft2 per occupant giving a total of 340 dccupants possible. Under Table 1021.1:
Minimum Number of Exits For Occupant Load; ;for 1 — 500 occupants requires two (2) exits. The
Dining Room currently has two (2) exits. Attached is a plan originally prepared by Thomas
Douglas Architects where I have noted the existing exits and the location of the door that was
removed.
Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely, Jtk OF k4ss�cy
