My experience has been that if it’s an accessory use room for a performing arts building (and I’m not referring to common areas like a restroom, office or lobby), then it can (and will!) be used for storage, set building, whatever. Film and TV studios may contain a wide range of combustibles and it’s probably safest to call it an OH. Whether it’s Group 1 or Group 2 probably isn’t a big cost impact, so we generally go OH2. But we’re not design/builders so we view that decision differently that an installing contractor might. Still, how big is the room and what’s the cost impact of adding a couple sprinklers (if that’s required) and doing a room design calculation on that space?

I'm trying to get more information, but meanwhile does anyone know the design occupancy for a standard film studio? The contractor wants to design this room to light hazard, but I'm not sure. Tony
