Facts: |

1. Section 18.2.5.2 of NFPA 101-2012 permits dead end corridors in Healthcare Occupancies up to 30' in length. (Enforced on the project by ISDH and CMS)
2. Similar variances have been granted in the past on other Healthcare facilities. (18-05-23, 19-02-20)

DEMONSTRATION OF UNDUE HARDSHIP OR HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURE: |

Facts: |
|
In order to create dead end corridors no more than 20' in length would require a re-design in portions of the hospital layout. The project is in final stages of design and a re-design for these areas would cause a delay in the project.
