2024/2025/2026 ICC CODE DEVELOPMENT SCHEDULE

Last update: September 30 2021

Safety and sustainability for any facility begins with an understanding of who shall occupy the built environment and what they will be doing in it.  Since we are guiding young people toward their goal of building things that are useful and beautiful we select the International Building Code as a starting point for an occupancy that requires a more elevated concern for safety than a typical classroom.

2021 International Building Code Section 307 High Hazard Group H

High-hazard occupancies in each of the International Code Council code development groups A, B and C; fetch back to these classifications.

Public input for the 2024 International Building Code will be received until January 8, 2024.

For the purpose of formulating our own proposals we begin with the developmental transcripts of the previous code cycle. Recommended search terms: “Section 307”, “Studio”, “Classroom” “University” will give you a sample of the ideas in play.  The complete monograph is linked below:
