Question

Is it the intent of section 453.1 to apply to a private educational facility?

Answer Published 08/27/2025 at 11:32 AM

Section 305.3 states that public and private educational occupancies shall comply with Section 468. Section 305.4 makes the distinction that only public education facilities shall comply with 453. Therefore, a private educational facility does not need to comply with the FBC453
