Today we update our understanding of the literature for fire safety in one of the largest non-residential building construction markets in the United States -- i.e. "ours". While respecting the priority for safety we are also vigilant for excess, market-making by conformance interests and insurance companies. Because fire safety is an assured item in public budgets, many fire safety professionals are tasked with responsibilities for risk management unrelated to fire.

Today we break down the literature setting the standard of care for the safety and sustainability of instruction and research laboratories in the United States specifically; but also with sensitivity to similar enterprises in research universities elsewhere in the world. Impossible to overestimate the sensitivity of this topic.
The Science of Fire
How does combustion begin, spread or destroy? And what can we do about it when and where we do not want it? Join Guillermo Rein, Professor of Fire Science in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, as he gives his inaugural lecture
Quadrivium: Autumn
Educational settlements should be magical places. The stack informing the beauty of these "cities-within-cities" changes 100 to 1000 times per day globally. We monitor the action continuously to formulate response to public consultations. Topics appear on our CALENDAR and explored every day at 15:00 UTC.
Bulletin Board
Curated list of open consultations and calls for information from state, federal and global agencies.
Life Safety Code
NFPA 101 is the foundation for almost all building safety laws in the United States and is referenced in nearly every other title in the NFPA catalog. It is primarily a building egress document from a fire safety point of view. but other titles in the NFPA catalog reference its requirements for emergency illumination systems, among others. Public input on the 2030 Revision will be received until June 2, 2027.
Current Issues & Recent Research
We are tooling up for the NFPA 2029 National Electrical Code Technical Committee Meetings in September and the IEEE Industrial Applications Society Meetings in October.
Higher Education Laboratories
Safety and sustainability concepts for research cuts across many disciplines. We follow action in the International Fire Code, particularly Chapter 38 which sets the standard of care for an occupancy class that is the source of significant revenue for research universities. The 2027 revision of the IBC where the revised standard of care appears will be released for public use in early 2027.
