In a recent Q&A on the FacilityCare website, consultant Brad Keyes answered a question about corridor projections.
Q: I understand that there may be a new code shortly that will change the maximum projection in a corridor from 6 inches to 4 inches. Would this new code allow for a personal protective equipment (PPE) cabinet to be recessed into the wall?
A: Yes, a PPE container that is recessed into the wall would be fine as long as the exposed portion does not project into the corridor more than is permitted.
