Code design journal

The purpose of the Codes Design Journal is to give students an opportunity to observe use of building codes, standards, and guidelines in practice. Each week you will review building plans with a focus on the Code Specifications. Additionally, you will add information based on in-person observations along with photos. You will also add feedback from peers on your findings. For this week:

(1) Select one of the buildings listed under Files: Identify which building you selected.

(2) For the building you selected, find the restrooms on the plans. Select one of the restrooms, how many stalls are in the restroom? How many restrooms are accessible? Describe the wall and floor materials specified in the restroom. Is there a drain noted on the plans?

(3) For one existing building, describe and sketch the materials used in the restroom on the floor and wall. How many stalls are in the space, how many of the stalls are accessible. Is there a floor drain?
