We probably face some of the same problems as many colleges and universities in terms of the number of students
that can safely occupy a general chemistry laboratory.
Information from NFPA sets 50 sq. ft. "net" per occupant. I am thinking that "net" includes benchtop working space and excludes glassware and chemical storage cabinets.
Would anyone be able to tell me if my interpretation is correct?
Thanks for any help with this.
Jack
