Doors, Egress, & Fire-Rated Construction Corrections

The project involves correcting critical life safety deficiencies at the Earle C. Clements Job Corps Center in Kentucky, focusing on door hardware, means of egress, and fire-rated construction assemblies. Current conditions include non-compliant doors lacking proper egress functionality, absence of panic hardware in required areas, a dead-end corridor that violates safety codes, and attic access panels installed within fire-rated assemblies that are not rated for fire resistance. The scope requires the installation of UL-listed, code-compliant panic hardware, rectification of egress pathways to eliminate hazardous conditions, and replacement of non-compliant attic access panels with certified fire-rated alternatives to restore full adherence to NFPA 101 life safety standards. All work must ensure the facility meets current fire and life safety requirements without compromising structural integrity or occupant safety.
