There is another topic we would also like to discuss: Many of our supporters and other citizens would likP 'o preserve the historic central dining hall. For cost estimating and fundrdising purposes the Vet's Camp Board could like to know exactly what would be needed to make the Assembly or Dining hall hospitable. If you want to, we would he happy to meet }ou sometime either at your office or at the dining hall to discuss what's needed. We propose the following and are open to your suggestions and requirements. A. In order for this b• l ding to remain a type V-N non -rated structure we must stay with the group A-.' ccupancy. See UBC p.ige 11, table 5-C In order to stay within a group A-3 occupancy (Assembly room with ai occupant load of less than 300 people) the assembly room must have less than 4500 sq. ft. (300 people x 15 s.f. per person). See UBC page 41, table 5-A and UBC pege 582. table 33-A. In order to stay under 4500 s.f. we propose to wall off the existing library as shown on the enclosed plan. B. We would .oi cuurse, brink the building up to toddy's electrical code. C. As you can see from the enclosed p-an, the building has excellent door and window egress directly to the outside wnich would facilitate EXTREMELY easy and rapid evacuation in case of fire. We would provide smoke detectors, fire alarm, exit lights and emergency lighting systteee,s as well as lots of fire extinguishers. We would take all po •ible precoutions to prevent fire h if a major fire did occur lives would be safe even though the building would probably be lost. D. We would: 1. Sheetrock with 5/8' firerock the wails and ceiling In all storave. office and service arcas. 2. Remove the stairs to the projection room leaving only an attic access door. 3. Treat the wood walls and ceilings in the assembly area with fire retardant.
