I wasn't sure whether to extend the first floor east corridor, to make the stair accessible from the interior--does this matter?
Any additional feedback appreciated.

Absolutely. The code requires it.

CR too far from MP.
MP doors to circulation must swing out.

Thanks coach, I re-read the code and found the note about stair access. As for the MP door swinging out to circulation--will that always (and only) be true in rooms requiring a second exit?

Yes. That's a basic code requirement.
