The type of EL's being used in this plan set are typically used in corridors. The egress paths are generally 3' or 6' in width and per the spec sheet for this EL is 76 LF. 101:12.2.9, 101:7.9.2.1.1. I do not see EL's in the Vestibule 109N/Dry Storage 112N room. 101:12.2.9. No EL's on the exterior of the building where the exit doors are located. 101:7.9.2.1.2

Based on no FFE to determine seating the probable occupant load of 194 persons. (1357st net ÷ 7sf). 101:12.1.7, 101 Table 7.3.1.2
The LSP shows what appears to be a "u" shaped "Bar which could have seating around it. With no FFE plan to go by I measured the bar and found the following: Bar length 39' ÷ 2" = 468" ÷ 18" = 26 persons. 101:12.1.7, 101 Table 7.3.1.2
Total occupant load for the dining room is 220 persons.
