2/9/06 Update
This week my main focus was to resolve any code questions or issues.
Wednesday, Jean Carter from the Louisiana Fire Marshal's Office visited with the Louisiana State University (LSU) Interior Design Seniors who have been working on Senior Capstone Projects. He answered all of our questions and concerns on code compliance. I have listed the information that I gained from this experience below.
Occupancy Loads
To tabulate the occupancy for each floor one must divide the square footage of a floor by the number given from code.
The Louisiana Harvest Grocery & Wine Bar mainly consists of a Mercantile Occupancy on floors 1-3.
A Secondary Occupancy would be Assembly Less Concentrated for the 4th Floor Wine Bar.
A tertiary Occupancy would be Industrial to account for the Kitchen spaces in the building.

- These spaces are given astrigent code restrictions because they are considered hazardous in a commercial environment.
Any other spaces such as storage are considered Incidental and are calculated along with the mercantile Spaces as far as occupant loads are concerned.
