§ 17265 School Building Code Application

• •School buildings must follow the same safety rules as other buildings.
• •These rules are about how the building is designed and built.
• •If there are special rules for school buildings, those come first.

A school wants to build a new classroom.

The school must follow the usual building safety rules, like having strong walls and safe exits. But if there’s a special rule for schools, like extra fire safety, they must follow that instead.
