Description: We have a core and shell project where part of the leasable area will be a car dealership. This area that will belong to the car dealership will have two main areas: offices and a car workshop (the place where they check cars for maintenance).
It is really clear that the offices area inside the car dealership are considered regularly occupied.
However we would like to know if the car workshop is also a regularly occupied space. We really need to know this because our car workshop due to the fact that will have lots of cars inside it need a really big area and for safety reason it has almost no windows.

The Regularly Occupied Space Matrix dated October 2013 indicates that workshops are considered regularly occupied spaces. I have seen car workshops at dealers with windows. The bay garage doors are typically almost all glass, then a wall or two, usually at the ends of the bays has a bunch of windows. Those spaces will have to be included.
