FAQ
Does bathroom / hallway space count? +
Usually no — only classroom and learning space. Bathrooms, kitchens, and circulation are separate code calculations.
What about outdoor learning? +
Some states allow regular outdoor instruction time to relax indoor requirements. Check your state DOE rules — Florida and Texas are notably flexible.
