We have a 3-story classroom building for a community college. We originally designated a portion of the main mechanical room on the ground floor as the building recycling collection and storage area. The mechanical engineers are now claiming the entire mechanical room and are offering a trade for a mechanical space on the 3rd floor. The travel distance from the proposed recycling collection to the elevator is 62 feet (door to door). Once on the ground floor, the travel distance from the elevator to the exterior door is 60 feet. Is this option worth exploring, or will the reviewers flag us for "accessible location"? Thanks in advance.

Christina, there are no hard and fast rules around this. The key thing is what will really be workable for your specific project. Is this a usable space in terms of how recycling will be collected on this project?
