Is it just a “gym” or a multi-purpose building that will also be available for “community” uses? Gym mats are one thing, rummage sales, craft fairs, job and college recruiting expos, church and other assemblies, those are different things. I agree that an athletic/sports facility such as a high-school or college gym is light hazard in the main room, but the school or college district or municipality that will own and operate this building should provide you with an articulate owner’s certificate before it gets nailed down.

Assuming this is a standard gym (no foam rock walls or anything complicated), how would most of you classify a gym? Thanks! 🙌 ADAM LEVINE, P.E.
