The dry portion below the attic was laid out at max 15x15 spacing with the
lines at 15ft above the floor.  The way the rooms layout there are long
runs with 8ft ceilings so I was going to drop down once to feed all these
rooms with one line but I still need to size it.  This reviewer will still
make us calculate the residential build out portion.  I can get by with a
1 1/4" line calculating  4 heads.

If I'm understanding
The roof system is unchanged and your adding a lower supply to be rooms.

Use standard qr heads and same pipe sizes

The roof is still most demanding

NFPA 13 (07ed)

I have an existing 5th floor shell space that is installed as a light
hazard dry system that has pipe in the shell space and in the attic.  They
are turning this floor into a dormitory (R-2).
1)Can I use listed residential heads on return bends and only pick up 4
heads per 11.3.1.1 or will I need to pick up 1950SF?  What if there are
incidental areas such as a laundry room, ect. in the same areas as the
dorm rooms?
2)What would be the required trip time be per Table 7.2.3.6.1?  15sec for
residential or 60sec for light hazard?

Thanks,
