In a recent Q&A on the FacilityCare website, consultant Brad Keyes answered a question about corridor projections.

Q:  I understand that there may be a new code shortly that will change the maximum projection in a corridor from 6 inches to 4 inches. Would this new code allow for a personal protective equipment (PPE) cabinet to be recessed into the wall?
