Existing Dormitory Corridor wall rating requirement

Existing Dormitory Corridor wall rating requirement

New postby shahin on Mon Sep 12, 2016 4:57 pm

I have an existing dormitory building for the University of Southern California. We are trying to upgrade the electrical system. The building is fully sprinklered. I have two questions.
1-How much upgrade I am required to do by code, by the only scope is to upgrade the electrical system.
2-Is the corridor wall required to be rated?
