Inquiry

Background: Part of our project is a small pavilion building with a plan dimension of 45\' x 55.5\' that will function as a small cafeteria/ banquet space as a supplement to two adjacent high-rise towers. This pavilion space has a total 6 pairs of exterior swing doors and one revolving door. The revolving door will function as the main entry into the pavilion. Visitors will be encouraged to use the main entrance - the revolving door - to enter the pavilion. The revolving door is 6\'-0" in diameter with a permanent walk-off installed within the diameter of the revolving door enclosure. Two of the six pairs of doors will also function as side entrances. Both of these pairs of doors will have 6\'-0" walk-off mats inside the pavilion. The four remaining pairs of doors are intended for natural ventilation only. The arrangement of loose furniture will discourage the use of these doors as entrances. These remaining pairs of doors will not have walk-off mats. Credit Interpretation Request: It is the design team\'s interpretation that the walk-off mats are required only at the main entrance (the revolving door) and at the two side entrances. The arrangement of loose furniture will discourage the use of these remaining four pairs of exterior doors as entrances and therefore walk-off mats are not required at these doors. It is also the design team\'s interpretation that since the revolving door is 6\'-0" in diameter, it would only be necessary to provide the walk-off mat within the diameter of revolving door enclosure. Please confirm that design team\'s interpretation is correct.
