Corridors in Suites

Are there any TJC requirements for the width of corridors within a suite?

I'm not aware of any specific required width by TJC or the NFPA. Below is an excerpt from the attached TJC April 2007 EC News on suites.  "Most of these benefits are related to the fact that the circulating space within the suite receives special treatment under the suite provisions. While this space appears to be a normal 8-foot egress corridor (and would normally be considered as such), within a suite, it is treated as an 'intervening room' and therefore is not subject to the more stringent corridor requirements of the LSC."
