Critical Response Solutions developed Evacuation Maps for the State of Ohio Office Building, which is also known as the Lauche Building. This building consist of 458,000 square feet, and (14) floors, with approximately 1,350 people occupying the building.

To complete this project the following task took place in this order:
- Reviewed code and customer requirements with customer.
- Supplied sample Evacuation Maps for customer for review.
- It was decided (3) maps per floor would be developed.
- The customer supplied floor plan to CRS, in paper format.
- CRS converted the paper drawings to electronic CAD format.
- Drawings were converted to “true scale”.
- Data such as pull stations, fire extinguishers, safe zones was collected and identified by the
- Building Management Co. CRS also offers this as a service, however, to reduce cost they chose to conduct the field survey themselves.
- All data collected was imported into the CAD maps.
- All maps were printed on high resolution semi-gloss paper.
- Customer chose from the type of placards to house all EVAC maps.
- CRS inserted all maps into the placards and delivered to customer for installation.
Overall, the project had no issues and Critical Response Solution completed this project in only (3) weeks. There are several other State Office Buildings in the Building Management’s portfolio and CRS may also develop them too.
