| | AND THE SIDE ENTRY DOOR 101-B. THIS BUILDING IS A |
| | HIGHRISE AND |
| | EACH FLOOR HAS ELEVATOR LOBBIES. THE PLAN IS SILENT AS |
| | TO WHICH WAY THE ELEVATOR HOISTWAY OPENING PROTECTION |
| | REQUIRED DOORS ARE PROTECTED, REQUIRED SINCE THIS |
| | BUILDING IS A HIGHRISE.2020 FBC-B 3006.2. IN SECTION |
| | 3006.3 HOISTWAY PROTECTION THERE ARE 4 DIFFERENT WAYS |
| | OF PROTECTING THE HOISTWAY OPENING. THE MOST COMMON IN |
| | OLDER BUILDINGS ARE WITH AN ENCLOSED ELEVATOR LOBBY AND |
| | FIRE RATED DOORS(FIRE PARTITION & 1/3RD HR. DOORS), THE |
| | OTHER WAY WE SEE IS TO PRESSURIIZE THE ELEVATOR |
| | HOISTWAY TO KEEP SMOKE FROM EVER GETTING INTO THE |
| | ELEVATOR HOISTWAY. THERE IS NO DOOR SCHEDULE TO |
| | INDICATE IF THE DOORS 101-A AND 101-B ARE TO BE 1/3RD |
