John I am assuming this is in Florida? If so, Florida Statute 553.895 will require this building to be sprinklered because it is NOT a stand alone garage. Pete

From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Irwin Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 11:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Partially sprinklered buildings Are there any provisions for partially sprinklered buildings anymore? I am looking at a parking garage that meets the requirements for not needing sprinklers. (over 50% open and over 20’ away from the building). However the 1st floor contains a munch of mechanical rooms for the main tower, as well as nearly 1/3 of the floor space being designated as “unit owner storage area”. I believe there is no way to avoid putting sprinklers in this building. But I want to be certain before I tell my client this. Anyone? John Irwin
