How do I plan for emergency egress in a training room?

NFPA and IBC fire codes require at least two means of egress from any assembly space over 50 persons, with clear aisle widths of 28"–36" minimum (44" in higher-occupancy spaces). Training room rows should have aisle paths to exits at both ends, not a single long row with only one exit path. Place training tables to keep the main exit door aisle clear and unobstructed when chairs are pushed in. Consult your local building code and fire marshal for occupancy-specific requirements before finalizing a layout.
