CASE 1: Side Acting with Complying Swing Egress Door(s)

Smoke Compartmentation

The compartmentation requirements in these case studies are unique to hospital occupancies and are driven, for the most part, by means of egress provisions.

In this case study we find it difficult to maintain continuity with compartmentation when passing through corridors or other open areas with smoke partition walls. With the wide-span capabilities of the McKEON door assembly there is no compromise between building functionality and code compliance.
