Travis, If I'm reading 8.14.4.4 (2002 ed) correctly, you do not need the closely spaced sprinklers if our adjacent floor areas are all fully sprinklered, the horizontal openings are at least 20', and your atrium area is greater than 1000 sf. From your posting, it sounds as if you meet all three determining factors.

The atrium is located in the middle of an open office area. There is no glass or anything around the atrium. There is a handrail around the perimeter of the atrium on the upper levels? I am getting conflicting information on if the closely spaced sprinklers are needed or not? Travis No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
