COURSE DESCRIPTION: As passage of legalized marijuana sweeps across the country, inquiries for new and modifications to existing structures for such facilities have already begun. This fast-paced class has been created to discuss facilities – use, egress, electrical concerns, hazards (MAQs), mechanical (exhaust and ventilation), occupancies, plumbing issues, sprinklers, and waste disposal. Further discussion will address the potential impact of such legislation on the built environment, based on situations that have been encountered in other states that have previously passed similar legislation and what effect Washington’s law might have on local jurisdictions.
