CERTIFICATION #: 74 EXPIRATION DATE: iE--31-90 Building/Fire/Access/Zoning Code Consulting February 24, 2000 North Andover Building Department 27 Charles Street North Andover, MA 01845 Att: Bob Nicetta, Building Commissioner Re: Merrimack College Amendment Dear Mr. Nicetta, Fire Protection Engineering F E B 28 2jbert ullivan Code Group SI45AK!AS C!A•TW. Sullivan, Inc. By: 302, Union Wharf Boston, Massachusetts 02109 (617) 523-8227 FAX 523-8016 www.rwsullivan.com The Sullivan Code Group has been asked by Will Gerstmyer of Sasaki Associates to describe the code compliance of a proposed amendment to their permit for the above -referenced project. The amendment would eliminate a glass wall and deluge sprinkler system on the second floor at the base of a supplementary stair connecting floors 2 and 3. This stair is also provided with an enclosure at the third floor landing, creating a fire separation from the occupied space on the third floor. It is our opinion that the design resulting from this proposed amendment will continue to meet the requirements of 780 CMR section 713.3, exception 2. This exception allows an unprotected floor opening that does not connect more than two stories, among other requirements. It is our interpretation that the enclosure at the top of the supplementary stair prevents the floor opening from being open to more than two stories. Because the enclosure will prevent the transfer of smoke and fire between the second and third floors the intention of this code exception is clearly met in this design. Please feel free to contact us if you have any question based on the above. Very truly yours, SULLIVAN DE GR44;7k- A.
