Hi Anne,
When you write "CIRCULATION", I assume you mean Base Building Circulation (BBC), which is the main distinguishing feature of Method B.
Generally, BBC should only be applied to areas that could be a Tenant Area, or would be Floor Service Area under Method A. So in most cases, a ground floor corridor that provides egress, would be Building Service Area under Method B, not BBC.
Thanks,
David
