Inquiry
The intent of this credit is to establish a connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces by providing views. We feel that by requiring windows in certain areas it compromises the functionality of the space. Therefore, we are proposing that certain areas, such as the field house and the competition gym, be excluded from the baseline calculations of regularly occupied spaces. Adding windows may jeopardize the performance and safety of the students involved in such activities as track, long jump, pole vault and shot put among others. We are proposing meeting the intent of the credit by setting the glazing at the upper portion of the required height and above. This will help to eliminate the glare and further ensure the safety of the students and faculty.
