You have bigger issues than travel distance to exits. Try working on your unit layouts first, they need some serious TLC.

students these days.... amiright?

Not sure of your question exactly;

I see building of this type all the time.  They are permitted as long as you can provide egress within the distance proscribed by the AHJ.

As to question 2;  what do you think?  I think there are questions like this on the ARE...

I cant see the units- nor am I inclined to put in the effort to see them...

Go to your library and read the codes on egress and dead end corridors for the Jurisdiction in which your project resides.

I don’t see but 2 dead ends, those are generally 20’ maximum in U.S, 50’ with fire sprinklers. Travel distances to stairs/exits are 200’ generally; depending on occupancy code, 250’ with sprinklers, I see lots of gaps in the plan just throw some more stairs in. Anytime a professor throws a code question at you just tell him you’re sprinklering the building, that usually shuts them up.

^this project is in India. Last I checked, their code was not on par with the US's.

just saying...

^So, its even easier to design a shitty building...

herein Exhibit 'A'

Corridors need to me minimized, the length is long and may be an exiting issue and a convenience issue for residents, but in the real world long corridors are wasteful, you can't rent those corridors but you have to maintain them so a client will require you to cut back on corridors. 

Over and OUT

Corridors are, like gutters, simply bad design.

Guess it matters how you design them.....
