Sadly, there are multiple buildings under construction and already occupied in West Campus with windowless bedrooms. It should not be allowed for health and safety reasons unrelated to fire safety. There is a movement among local architects to get the City to make it illegal to build a bedroom without a window, but currently it is perfectly legal.

Interesting. I must have been thinking about houses regarding egress windows and assumed it applied to multi family also.
