    What openings in college football stadiums typically require

    General requirements for this building type under the codes and standards that commonly apply. They are not a list of the products supplied on this project; each opening follows the project's drawings, hardware schedule and code review.

    • Panic or fire exit hardware on egress doors serving spaces with 50 or more occupants, as assembly occupancies require under Florida Building Code Section 1010.2.9.
    • Accessible door clearances, hardware heights and operating forces under the 2010 ADA Standards at suites, clubs, restrooms and concessions.
    • Impact-rated or protected exterior assemblies tested to Florida Building Code wind-load requirements, since coastal Palm Beach County is a wind-borne debris region. The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone applies only to Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
    • Labeled fire-rated door assemblies at stairs, electrical rooms and other rated separations, installed and inspected per NFPA 80.
    • Access control and keyed hardware separating public, team and staff zones at locker rooms, medical and training areas and premium spaces.
