It varies from place to place but, typically for a room in a single-family home to be considered a bedroom, it needs 2 egress points, the second usually being a window. I imagine similar codes are in place for multi-unit buildings.
This proposed building has 2 entrances for 4000 people. I cannot imagine it will pass fire code, or could effectively be evacuated in an emergency. Astounding that someone thought it was a good idea.
- thehappypm 5y ago2 entrances != 2 exits.
- slownews45 5y agoMulti unit buildings are REGULARLY build with ZERO window exits. This idea that a 60 floor skyscraper is going to do opening window "exits" over 300 foot drops is insanity and disgusting. Please look up condominium skyscrapers before talking about window exists being required from a housing code standpoint.
