Diagram 2.13 Refuge formed by compartmentation
Storey divided into two refuges by compartment wall (stairways not provided with wheelchair space).
Note: Persons occupying the left-hand compartment would not reach a refuge until they had entered the right-hand compartment. Two doorsets in the partition are necessary in case access to one of the doorsets is blocked by fire.
