That may be true, but you can't design for a change of use unless you
know it. If it's designated as a racquetball court, then it needs to be
designed for that use. If the owner changes it, then it's incumbent on
him to get the local sprinkler contractor in and make any changes
necessary. The same with any building. That's why my previous post said
that the AHJ needs to get involved to discuss how to handle this, which
would include any incidental uses (Pilates classes, etc).
