Fire Evacuation First Floor Fire Exit staircases wells are highlighted in red.

On the first floor there are three staircases which staff and visitors have access to.

Ground Floor Within Ordsall Hall there are 11 fire exits situated on the ground floor this enables staff and visitors to have adequate existing points to lead them to outdoor safety. Due to the amount of wood used within the building a large amount of exists is necessary. For exits are placed throughout the building so you do not need to cross floors to find another means of exit. Due to the large open overhead space in the great hall this could lead to a quick speed of fire onto other floors.

This exits are highlighted with red and blue arrows.

All staff and visitors are able to exit through all exits yet where i have highlighted the exits in blue show the accessible points for people in wheelchairs.This is something you will need to take into consideration when designing any event to be held within the hall.

The morning sun will cast shadows on the North west side of the building which could make this area shaded and cold for a short period in the summer but longer in the winter
