Stair landings - when to include as MVP

Andrew Nixon

The standard states that when a stair landing is at a level of a floor and provides access to an adjacent Space Classification on that floor that it is not part of the MVP (as shown in illustration 13b). But illustrations 13a, 13d, 35b-35f, and 36b-36f all show this not to be the case. Is this condition only true on long stairwells where the landing breaks up the long run of a stairs? Or what specifically makes the landing not part of the MVP?

Thanks for your response.

Hi Andrew,

The intent is that this rule is only applicable to intermediate stair landings.

Thanks,
David
