Floor Level

Renumbering

Older buildings which were constructed

�

with a staircase leading up a full flight

�

of stairs to the main level, typically had

this level designated a the first floor and

the level below labeled as the ground

�

floor or basement.

If ground level has level access from

�

grade, the designation of that level

should be 1.

Sloped site condition, where buildings

�

are connected with an enclosed

�

walkway or corridor, and the building

floor levels do not align, and the

transition from one building to the

�

next is NOT CLEAR and a person is

not aware they have entered another

building, then the buildings floor level

�

numbers need to be coordinated and

matched based upon the level that

serves as the main entrance.

��

Sloped site condition, where buildings are connected with an enclosed walkway

or corridor, and the building floor levels do not align, but the transition in walking

from one building to the next is VISUALLY VERY CLEAR, then the buildings can

retain their individual floor level numbers.
