Trying the 3.1 Stair vignette. The stair is 4'8" wide and has 11" treads through out, but the riser height changes between the first flight and the 2 flights connecting to second floor. One question - the prompt says:
"The area of refuge shall be sized to accommodate one wheel-chair space of 30 inches by 48 inches for each 200 occupants, or portion thereof, based on the stairway occupant load".
I thought that would mean we have to provide 3 wheelchair spaces (30" x 48" each) since the occupant load for second floor is 440. However, I only provided one because that's what other solutions here have. Can someone explain the logic to me please? Is it always just one 30"x48" space regardless of the occupant load?
Thank you in advance for any other feedback!
