Adult education facilities (serving clientele above the 12th grade) are classified in the Life Safety Code as “business occupancies”. Often owners and designers will assume that such facilities must comply with the “Educational Occupancy” chapters of the Life Safety Code, but this is incorrect. The Educational Occupancy chapters are applicable to schools serving students only through the 12th grade (through the end of high school) but not adult education facilities.
