Move to MN, no sprinkler in anything related to elevators. Now on to the humor - I've thought about calling rooms elevator office, elevator storage, etc. Pretty soon you have a fully sprinklered high-rise per the building code with no sprinkler heads in it.

Because the sprinklers are there, additional requirements from the elevator, plumbing and environmental sectors. We should just eliminate the requirement for sprinklers.
