There’s a Code for That? Hand Sanitizer Station Guidelines for Schools & Campuses
RLPS‘ Jim Mehaffey, AIA, shares insights on the differing opinions regarding best scenarios for getting back to class.
Did you know that hand sanitizers are addressed in the International Building Code and the International Fire Code for all school and campus buildings? According to the codes, hand sanitizer is not considered a hazardous material if dispensers are installed correctly and limited quantities of material are stored appropriately. However, incorrectly installed or stored supplies risk being flagged by code enforcement officials as hazardous material.
Several Parks Across Pennsylvania Are Getting Some Much-needed Improvements As Murphy & Dittenhafer Architects Works With The State’s Department Of Conservation And Natural Resources
If you find Architect Bruce Johnson working in the middle of the woods, without a building in sight, what could he possibly be doing there? It’s a good question, Johnson says, chuckling. While most people correlate Architecture with historic preservation or towering city structures, the design expertise of an Architect can also be of value when it comes to Pennsylvania State Parks.
“I think the key is that Architects have a vast knowledge in dealing with a wide range of disciplines,” Johnson says. “An Architect can design a beautiful building, but an Architect also orchestrates a lot of other elements to create a cohesive project.”
That range of expertise is giving Murphy & Dittenhafer Architects a chance to work with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) to make improvements to State Parks as far as Ryerson Station in Green County to Gifford Pinchot in M&D’s hometown of York County.
