Thanks John, A cursory read of the section produced a visceral response. After a little thought, I see where they are going and am not sure they went far enough. If suppression is to be removed from the machine room, the machine room should be in an easily accessible location and should be protected with a rating equivalent to the shaft without exception.

I'm on the road so don't have code in front, check also chapter 10 means of egress occupant evac and fire service elevators, there are similar prohibitions.

Is this the only section of the IBC where sprinkler are specifically prohibited from a location? Why would they do this? In my mind this just stirs the pot of the ol' sprinkler vs. elevator argument.
