I'm working on a University classroom/office building. There are enlargements in the corridors that are labeled "Lounge". These spaces are not separated from the corridors by walls, but they are furnished with tables and chairs. Some even have work tables. Would these be considered multi-occupant? They seem awfully public for lighting controls.

Hi Anne,
Yes, I think that the lounge area would need to have some degree of lighting controls in order to meet the credit requirements. The corridor areas would not. Would task lights work for the students to use? Alternatively, just one main lighting switch I think would suffice for that area to have controllability.
I would make it clear in your narrative to the reviewer that the desks are used intermittently and that they are not to be considered workstations or else task lights would be required for each desk.
