907.2.9.3 Group R-2 college and university buildings.

I was going to offer this link, but Frank beat me to it: http://www.iccsafe.org/cs/codes/Pages/archives.aspx

Buildings owned by colleges & universities usually have central monitoring of alarms. Off-campus buildings under private ownership would be far less likely to.

Thank you everyone, That is what I was looking for. I was hoping there was alittle more explanation. The IBC Handbook states that this is only for University or State owned dormitories which I would agree. We are having an influx of privately owned student housing projects around our campus currently. The Fire Marshal disagrees. I will hate to see all the calls that the fire department will have to respond to in the near future when a student burns some toast.

"2010 FCNYS 903.2.7 Group R. An automatic sprinkler system installed in accordance with Section 903.3 shall be provided through out all buildings with a group R fire area."

GPE, it applies currently everywhere in NY. All the local college beds are 'under water'.

I thought the concern was the smoke detection system that activates the occupant notification system, not the requirement for sprinklers.
