N – BUILDING CODES AND STANDARDS
INTRODUCTIONThe Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) in Gulfport, Mississippi is a new high-rise retirement community containing approximately 620,000 gross square feet of space and support facilities to replace the facility damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
The current plan is to provide the overall building program in a single six- to seven-story high-rise building. The ground (1st Floor) level will be primarily an open parking garage with stairs and elevators to reach the upper floors.

There will be mechanical penthouse areas on the roof for mechanical and elevator machine rooms.
The building will have complete automatic fire protection sprinkler protection, a fire standpipe system, and an automatic and manual fire alarm and detection system.
JURISDICTIONThe Code Authority for this project is the U.S. General Services Administration – Atlanta Region (GSA). Although not required, the City of Gulfport, MS (Gulfport) may be utilized to provide certain permit and review functions as relating to site development, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, fire protection and life safety systems.
