Occupancy B 1500 sqft with a 500 sqft addition to a commercial building

[Innate design]

I’m not seeing any related info about fire sprinklers to the occupancy. What is the next step to look at if I need to find out if fire sprinklers are needed? The type of construction?

[F] 903.2.2 Ambulatory care facilities.
An automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout the entire floor containing an ambulatory care facility where either of the following conditions exist at any time:

1. Four or more care recipients are incapable of self-preservation.

2. One or more care recipients that are incapable of self-preservation are located at other than the level of exit discharge serving such a facility.

In buildings where ambulatory care is provided on levels other than the level of exit discharge, an automatic sprinkler system shall be installed throughout the entire floor as well as all floors below where such care is provided, and all floors between the level of ambulatory care and the nearest level of exit discharge, the level of exit discharge, and all floors below the level of exit discharge.

As well in reference to allowable area IBC table 506.2 group b up to allowable sqft of 9000 sqft doesn’t need to be sprinklered.
