This Fixed-it Friday solution is ok for a preschool since the average height of the occupants is 26 inches, right? WRONG!

You have to train them young!!
Fix that one with door hardware! LOL
Totally incorrect – who says the children are all under 26 inches and what about all adults in the same location? Headroom requirements for the stair are not within code – minimum 7 foot 6 inches required, however I do not see that here. I am unable to read the red sign on the door lever/emergency agrees bar, however what is with the perforated unit below the lever arm ? Sound annunciator or pushbutton actuator – hard to tell. The wee little ones can use this door if directed by adults – remember they can’t read yet !! As for the adults – they are gonna have to crawl through this door opening! Truly amazed as always that these things get built and accepted – go figure!
now THAT’s a drop ceiling!
Was that the editorial comment or the justification from the facility manager?
Guys…..That is an emergency rescue window that is used in day care centers and without exact measurements, I think it looks like it meets the minimum dimensions as outlined in the Life Safety Code, NFPA 101. The platform brings the bottom of the opening to a minimum of 44 inches above the floor…… I’m just saying!!
