This seminar is now closed.
This seminar will cover what architects need to know about the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) requirement for ICC 500 storm shelters. In order to design resilient communities, we need to be able to survive and bounce back from natural disasters such as tornadoes. Discover effective solutions for sheltering from tornadoes and high wind events while exploring case studies.
