What is the maximum common path of travel permitted in a sprinklered educational occupancy?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

According to NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, the maximum common path of travel in a sprinklered educational occupancy is 100 feet (30 meters). The common path of travel refers to the distance occupants must travel before having two separate means of egress. The code provides this limit to ensure that occupants have a reasonably short distance to safety, enhancing the likelihood of safe evacuation in an emergency.

200 ft seems way too long, right?

I feel like the answer is 75 ft, but I also recall a question where 100 ft was mentioned. I guess I need to double-check my notes!

I’m pretty confident it’s 200 ft, but I could be confusing it with the requirements for other buildings. I should have reviewed that section more.

I remember something about 100 ft being a common standard for educational occupancies, but I might be mixing it up with another type of occupancy.

I think the maximum common path of travel is 75 ft, but I'm not completely sure. It feels like I've seen that number before in practice questions.
