Occupancy limits compliance

Arizona State University has facilities of various types, including those with different occupancies and constructions. Access and egress systems are required by local, state and federal regulations to be maintained free of obstruction and separated from other areas within the facility. The department, unit, or organization is responsible for ensuring that its operation does not obstruct exit systems or occupancy limits, thereby ensuring safe egress. Environmental Health and Safety identifies safety hazards related to maintaining the existing system to ensure safe access and egress.  The following guidelines have been prepared for all occupants of university facilities in accordance with applicable codes and standards, ASU's fire prevention and safety plan, and ASU policies and procedures.

In conjunction with maintaining the existing system, the Office of the Building Official establishes code maximum occupancy limits to ensure a safe environment. If you have questions related to the occupancy of your space, please contact the Office of the Building Official.
