RE: BYUI Hart 2019 Aux Gym Remodel: comment review response
For Application Number: 19-00354
Dear Quinton Owens,
In response to comments on pages 1 and 2 of 3 for current building review status, please review the
following responses;
Description
Handrails and Guards meet the requirements of IBC Sections 1014 and 1015
Comments
Original comment: Handrails shall not project into the required clear space width per A117.1, 405.5 (see
ramp in classroom 141). It appears section 403.5.1 allowance for narrower landing with wider ramp run
on accessible route was intended.
New question: Are you okay with having the outer handrail stop with the extensions at the intermediate
landing if needed to obtain the 48” clearance at the turn?
Revision response
Yes, all handrails will be evaluated to ensure that proper radius is in compliance.
Description
Building complies with IECC (IBC 1301)
Comments
No energy report submitted on the new east entry. Please submit report or show compliance with
prescriptive requirements of IECC.
Revision response
The energy report will be attached with this document.
Description
Structural Steel designed by a licensed Engineer and meets the requirements of IBC Chp. 22
Comments
Original: No engineer’s stamp on structural plans. Stamped drawings were stamped for Utah and not
Idaho
New question: When new ones are submitted, can they have the correct building code and wind load
listed on plans?
| Terrie Larsen University Architect/ Interior Designer | Phone: (208) 496-2662 | larsent@byui.edu |
Revision response
Yes, new structural plans have been submitted as a part of this response letter. Engineer designed for
2015 IBC.
Description
Glass and Glazing meets the requirements of IBC Chapter 24
Comments
Original: Safety glazing is expected as standard in doors, on storefront assemblies and in door slide lites.
The window schedule on AE601 only shows 2 windows for a room 214 (?). The window schedule does
not identify other windows such as referenced on east entrance floor plan (need required safety glazing
shown).
New question: is there an exception for the windows adjacent to ramp in east entrance? Per IBC
2406.4.6 shows it requiring safety glazing. Please Verify.
Revision response
Safety glazing in the entry will be provided on both the north and south sides of the new entry. No
exception will be taken for the window near the ramp.
Thanks,
Terrie Larsen
