We are doing an addition to a classroom building on a college campus. A ~100 seat auditorium style classroom makes up about 25% of the regularly occupied space of the building. Has there been any precedent for auditoriums and/or classrooms being allowed to be excluded from calculations? The space will be used heavily for AV and distance learning presentations which will require specific lighting conditions.

Since its a classroom, it cannot be excluded. Also, even if it were an Auditorium by use, the Regularly Occupied Space Matrix dated October 2013 states that they must be considered regularly occupied.
