They are open at the top. That to me qualifies as accessible.

Where the confusion in that? Hopefully they are non-accessible otherwise you'd have prisoners up in the attic, right? When you say shaft, what it the purpose of the shaft? How big is the shaft?

I have a detention facility with prisoner cells that have a vertical mech. shaft at the rear of each pair of cells. The entire building is non-combustible. The attic space above these shafts is non-combustible and not sprinklered. These shafts are open at the top. The attic space has no access for storage. Is it within the intent of 8.15.2 to install a sprinkler over each of these shafts? Really would appreciate some input on this.
