That sounds like something Sales would say Joseph, not an AHJ, TC
member, or PE.
It's only 3000 sf so you could quickly set-up the most economical
configurations for both LH and OHII, give it to Sales and ask them
which one they think you will be eventually be field checking and
stocklisting.

All true, but apples to oranges. A commercial woodshop is a step
above a school woodshop. We do an awful lot of schools work and you
would be amazed at what a modern high school woodshop looks like
Mark. Multi station dust collectors are the norm. It's definitely at
least an ordinary hazard. A commercial wood shop is Extra Hazard,
the debate there being whether it's Group 1 or Group 2.

Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Wood Shop Classroom Classification of Hazard
The one thing I would add to this is to compare the fire loading
between a commercial cabinet/wood shop and the classroom
environment. A typical commercial shop would have sheet goods and
lumber inventory for hundreds of cabinets, as well as hundreds of
boxed finished goods. A typical wood shop classroom environment
would have nothing close to that.

NFPA 13 speaks to the nature of the use, not just the label of a
particular building or compartment. If it has fire load, or
processes, or byproduct of those processes that make it more
hazardous, then it's more hazardous. Out here in California were
used to fire protecting vocational technology and science and shop
(auto, wood, metal) classrooms to the higher hazard classification
because they may contain pressurized natural gas, welding or
soldering, flammable liquids, open burners higher levels of dust, etc.
I agree with you - stay the course.

Subject: Wood Shop Classroom Classification of Hazard
I interpret the hazard classification of 3000sqft Wood Shop
Classroom (High/Middle School) as Ordinary II - Wood Machining/Wood
Product Assembly. I was told that I was incorrect in my
classification since it was a classroom and not a Woodshop Facility.
I can not find justification in the standards to down grade the
hazard classification to Light or Ordinary I just because the room
is a classroom. Am I missing something? NFPA 13, 2010ed and IBC 2012
