CASE STUDY
Von Duprin – Exit Devices Support Egress and Code Compliance
Excerpt: While the design team gave precise attention to each architectural detail to shape a restorative, dignified and welcoming environment, code compliance was also a top consideration. Hospitals are high-stakes environments where patients may have limited mobility, sensory challenges or cognitive impairments, making safe evacuation during emergencies a complex task. Consequently, proper product specification and adherence with strict fire and life safety codes is a fundamental component of a health care facility’s life-safety strategy.
Von Duprin’s® 98/99 Series exit devices contribute to the comprehensive egress safety strategy at Altru’s new hospital facility. The high-performance, wide stile heavy-duty push pad hardware is mounted on the egress side of emergency doors at Altru in multiple locations, including the emergency department, to provide fast and intuitive egress for occupants by simplifying operation.
