Depending on your chemical load the fire code can possibly help you. If MN has adopted the International Fire Code, then there are specific limits based on types of materials, number of control areas, which floor you are located on (basements and floors 3+ have pretty low limits) and fire suppression methods.

Greetings all,

Like most colleges and universities, my school needs more space - specifically offices and teaching classrooms. One suggestion was to move the chemical stockroom from the third floor (top floor) by all the chemistry labs to the sub-basement.

Can any of you help me keep the chemical stockroom on the third floor? Is there any building code or recommended teaching protocol or some other rule of thumb that would keep me near the labs that use the chemicals?

Heather
