Emergency Exits

We will have three emergency exits in total, one of which serves both basement and ground floor (the back entrance).

For the ground floor:

  • on the far West side: the short stair case, the door leading into 445
  • on the far East side: the back entrance
  • note that the main entrance will NOT function as emergency exit. The shutters will likely be closed most of the time.

For the basement:

  • on the far West side: the short stair case
  • on the far East side: the back entrance, via the stair case to the ground floor

Open Questions

Do we need to reinstate the firehose in the basement? Cf. http://www.lwf.co.uk/bulletin.php?id=132
