and student service offices. This includes study areas, lounge areas, mail distribution areas,
ancillary classrooms, and offices. A minor reworking of the sprinkler system is required to
accommodate the new cafe layout. Also, a minor reworking and expansion of the existing
addressable fire alarm system will also take place to provide proper notification coverage in the
areas in the scope of work, proper monitoring of the ansul system & interaction with the gas
solenoid valves serving equipment in the space. The design shall bring the cafe into compliance
with current codes and standards.
SECTION 1 —BUILDING DESCRIPTION
The area where work is to be performed is classified as a Use Group: Type B (Business). The
building is classified as a mixed Use Group: Type A3 (Assembly), A2 (Assembly), Sl (Storage),
and M (Merchantile). The Construction Type is II-B, Non combustible exterior walls with
Protected Combustible interior elements, as defined by the Massachusetts State Building Code.
The building footprint is approximately 20,000 square feet, and contains a total of three levels.
The total building square footage is approximately 54,200 square feet. The area of the building
