Desk Space Planning — Expert Answer
How do I plan for egress paths around office furniture?
IBC Section 1005 requires exit access corridors to be at minimum 36 in. wide for occupancies under 50 and 44 in. for 50+. Furniture cannot obstruct required egress paths. In open offices, plan your furniture layout so direct paths to all exit doors remain clear of chairs, desks, and file cabinets at all times.
