Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital Fifth Floor Expansion

What openings in hospital inpatient floors 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.

• Corridor doors that resist the passage of smoke and latch positively, as NFPA 101 generally requires on health care occupancy patient floors.
• Cross-corridor smoke barrier doors, often pairs held open on magnetic hold-opens that release when the fire alarm activates.
• Patient room doors wide enough for bed movement, with accessible hardware under the 2010 ADA Standards.
• Coordination with the hospital's existing access control and fire alarm systems when a floor is built out inside an operating hospital.
