Enclosed cubicle to block out noise

[williamt]

Is there any possible way to enclose an office cubicle to block out noise that doesn't break any fire codes?
We do have fire sprinklers.

The roof could be wood, plexiglass, dense foam, canvas etc.

Drop an additional sprinkler.

What about light and ventilation?

Your cubicle or someone else’s?!

Lighting and ventilation is the easy part. Not too worried about that.

Mine and a couple other co-workers if possible.
I guess maybe I should contact Working walls and ask them about their "PARTITION TO CEILING ENCLOSURE". If you google it you will see what I mean.

My concern with some of the materials you mentioned

Is they may readily burn!!!

Other than that no problem

They could also obstruct sprinkler patterns.

My initial thought would be that you need to modify the sprinkler layout unless you have a sprinkler head in each cubicle with a floor to ceiling enclosure.

Location of fire alarm device....may need additional devices depending on how much sound you intended to block. That is if your friends do not say the fire alarm is going off get out....lol

May block view of exit signs.

Could also violate the means of egress route?

Aha....Did you get that MEMO on the TPS reports?
