In Plain Language

This clause specifically classifies arena-type buildings used occasionally for trade shows or similar exhibitions as Group A, Division 3 occupancy, the arena occupancy classification, rather than requiring a different classification for their exhibition use.

This is a plain-language summary of the 2012/2017 Ontario Building Code text above, for general understanding only and not a substitute for the Code. Always confirm current requirements against the 2024 edition (O.Reg. 163/24) or a qualified professional before construction.
