400604 - AA is concerned that ducts are obstructed by structural beams.
400605 -
400606 - AA advised this shaft will contain two ducts and will require 2 hour
400607 - wall rating, per meeting notes. ref DIP 1 6047

400616 - establish the extent to which the 2 hour shaft can be eliminated.

400619 - size of the shaft.
400620 - ..
400621 - Solution to vent shaft at elevators 1 - 4 was to take duct along
400622 - underside of roof, then penetrate the roof west of column line B. From
400623 - there it would terminate in a louver above the roof near column line
400624 - B.
