-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Todd Williams - work Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2007 11:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Racquetball court This may be a situation where sprinkler protection is not practical and the occupancy can't be modified to accommodate them. Perhaps an alternative protection approach would have to be taken such as fire-rate the walls, self-close the door and put in a beam or similar type detection system. The glass walls could be a problem (water curtain?). It sounds like you need an FPE to work with the Owner, Architect and AHJ to come up with a solution.
