Description

Stay ahead of building code requirements with this practical, project-driven course focused on today’s most challenging commercial and development environments. From office and higher education campuses to lab renovations and data centers, this course breaks down how codes apply in real-world scenarios—whether you’re working on new construction or existing buildings.

Attendees will gain clear insight into means of egress, construction type, high-rise requirements, mass timber, and key changes introduced in the 10th edition of the MA Building Code, along with a look at what’s coming next. The program also dives into data center–specific issues, including occupancy classification, emergency power, sprinkler systems, and lithium-ion battery storage.

An in-depth accessibility segment will address compliance strategies for commercial environments, reinforcing best practices through applied case studies. Designed for architects, engineers, developers, owners, and construction professionals, this course blends technical guidance with practical examples to support safer, more efficient, and code-compliant project delivery.
