No, but it makes sense to turn them off upon smoke detection so that they allow the smoke to collect and stay up near the roof away from the public. An air sampling smoke detection manufacturer claims their detector is built into BA fans for this purpose, but that seems like a bad idea for maintenance reasons. If it is a basketball gym then make sure the fans are structuraly decoupled from the basketball goals. That might be very hard to do. Gym roof are light. Otherwise you'll be getting a call from the owner about the hoops vibrating with the fans.
