It can be a challenging assignment to design an NFPA-compliant laboratory in a high-rise building for a large university setting. General and sometimes competing requirements can be difficult to interpret and implement to accommodate a modern, ever-evolving, highly flexible laboratory design. NFPA 101, NFPA 30, and NFPA 45 each add to or complement the others with fire protection and life safety requirements, thus calling for a balance between the end-users and the design's code and building limitations. This session presents an overview and logical approach to applying major fire protection and life safety features and systems to a modern, flexibly designed university high-rise laboratory.
