Emergency　evacuations　during　fires　have　historically　been　identified　as　a　safely　concern　for　super　tall　buildings.　Stage　evacuations　and　evacuations　to　a　refuge　floor　were　implemented　as　solutions,　but　after　the　World　Trade　Center　tragedy,　surveys　showed　occupants　were　unwilling　to　stay　on　refuge　floors.　This　study　proposes　an　alternative　-　horizontal　evacuation　using　skybridges　between　towers　taller　than　200　m　(656　ft).　Skybridges　can　reduce　the　chances　of　normal　vertical　downward　evacuation　routes　being　blocked　and　increase　a　building＇s＇　evacuation　efficiency　without　increasing　the　number　of　stairs.　Linking　up　refuge　floors　in　building　clusters　using　skybridges　would　further　reduce　evacuation　times.　In　this　paper,　we　evaluate　the　skybridge　design　in　terms　of　evacuation　times　in　a　typical　200　m　(656　ft.)-tall　building.　Reductions　in　evacuation　times　are　justified　under　three　occupant　loads.　Empirical　equations　commonly　used　for　performance-based　design　projects　were　used　in　the　analysis,　and　the　results　were　justified　using　evacuation　software.
