Today at the usual hour we refresh our understanding of the best practice literature for the occupancies and equipment needed to prepare young people for careers in the textile arts; a remarkably large industry in every nation.

First the safety standards:

International Building Code

NFPA 497 and 499 (See link at the bottom of this page)

ASHRAE 62.1 (Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality)

29 CFR 1910.1000 (Air Contaminants)

Trade association standards:

National Art Education Association

International Textile and Apparel Association

Council of Fashion Designers of America

UK Fashion and Textile Association

No single trade association exclusively represents fashion arts educators outside of textiles and apparel (e.g., for fashion illustration or design arts broadly), but organizations like Fashion Illustration, Design, and Arts offer resources for educators in niche areas like fashion illustration through awards, exhibitions, and educational programs.

  • Italian coffee is ritual. Espresso is served in tiny cups, sipped quickly, often at a bar counter. Variations include cappuccino (espresso with steamed milk and foam, typically a breakfast drink), macchiato (espresso “stained” with a dash of milk), and caffè latte (espresso with more steamed milk).
  • Italians favor single-origin or blended beans roasted to perfection, often medium to dark for rich, balanced flavors.
  • Coffee is a social act, enjoyed standing at bustling cafés or leisurely at home. Machines like the moka pot, a stovetop brewer, bring espresso-style coffee to households. Never order a milky coffee post-lunch—Italians consider it odd. This compact, flavorful tradition fuels Italy’s daily rhythm.

A rare find in best practice literature is a title that slices horizontally through a number of “silos” owned by US-based domain incumbents such as NFPA, ICC, IEEE and others.  Several occupancy classifications run interstitially and present challenging risk aggregations–similarly recognized in the EU–when 100,000 people must be put out of harms way in less than 60 seconds.  One such title is Code of Practice: BS 7827 Designing, specifying, maintaining and operating emergency sound systems for sports grounds, large public buildings, and venues.  From the project prospectus:

Maintenance, Emergency measures, Safety devices, Reports, Crowd safety, Certification (approval), Inspection, Audio systems, Forms (paper), Speech transmission systems, Reliability, Instructions for use, Personnel, Sound intensity, Approval testing, Training, Audio equipment, Performance, Stadia, Warning devices, Electric power systems, Alarm systems, Signal distortion, Sports facilities, Safety measures, Public-address systems, Audibility, Acoustic measurement, Reception, Sound reproduction, Buildings, Control panels

The current 2019 Edition was released October 2019 and is assumed to be stable.  You can tell by the list of normative references from European Union standards developers that event safety is an established discipline and one that requires continual attention despite the circumstances of the pandemic.

Michigan Stadium is the largest university-owned sports venue in the world. with nominal seating capacity of 110,000 and auxiliary enterprises that add another 20,000.

More information about how our colleagues may contribute to the development of future revisions to this titles should communicate directly with BSI Group Technical Committee EPL/100.  We collaborate with European Union electrotechnical professionals through the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee which meets online 4 times monthly in European and American time zones.

We maintain this title on the standing agenda of our Sport and Global colloquia.  See our CALENDAR for the next online meeting; open to everyone.

Chapman University Net Position 2024: $2.279B  | Orange County Building Codes and Regulations

Chapman University in Collaboration with the CA Dairy Innovation Center Presents:

Chapman University’s 90-acre campus in Orange, California, blends historic charm with modern innovation, reflecting a design philosophy of accessibility, beauty, and community. The campus, set in the historic Old Towne Orange district, features a mix of Classical Revival and contemporary architecture. Key historic buildings, originally part of Orange Union High School, include Wilkinson Hall (1905), Reeves Hall (1913), Smith Hall (1913), and Memorial Hall (1921), all listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These structures, designed by architects like C.B. Bradshaw and Frederick Eley, showcase symmetry and classical elements, with Memorial Hall’s 1,000-seat auditorium being a standout.

The Keck Center for Science and Engineering (2018), inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, spans 140,000 square feet with 45 labs and an outdoor amphitheater. The Sandi Simon Center for Dance (2023) and Musco Center for the Arts (2016), with acoustics by Yasuhisa Toyota, have earned architectural awards. Doti Hall (2013) integrates seamlessly with historic structures around Bert Williams Mall, enhancing the campus’s cohesive aesthetic.

Infrastructure supports a vibrant student life, with 175+ student organizations and a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio. The campus offers 24-hour security, modern dorms, and dining facilities, though weekend dining hours draw some criticism. Recent expansions, like the Fowler School of Engineering’s Swenson Family Hall, and planned updates to the Specific Plan, including increased enrollment and housing, ensure Chapman remains a dynamic, student-focused environment
