Steve,
I've done several of these. What I do is to find out what the
intended uses are from the owner or architect and design to that.,
with a note if necessary. For the most part, the intended use has
fallen into LH criteria, but you never know. It's difficult to
predict what brilliant idea someone will come up with in the future,
so find out what their intentions are and design for that and CYA.

What is the consensus for classifying the hazard level of multi-purpose
areas in churches? I seem to remember this being discussed before but
cannot find anything in the archives. I am looking at a 17,000 sqft church
with a large central sanctuary/gymnasium/multi-use area. I would think that
light hazard protection would be inadequate because of the probable use of
the space for bazaars, shows, exhibits, bake sales, etc. but I'm wondering
what the best approach is.
Have a good weekend and thanks in advance for any help.
