Small town boy a with something I haven't run into before. Help all you fire gurus.
B use group. Type II B construction, fully sprinklered (kinda read on please). 30,000 sq ft. foot print, 2 stories tall.
This office building will have a fire proof vault (similar to a bank vault) for paper record storage (historical value, not replacable items, one of a kind items). They do not want to sprinkler the vault, because water damage would render the records useless. Where can I read about exceptions and code worthy alternatives to this?
The design professional is working on his design etc., but want to read up for when it comes across my desk.
Thanks for your help, past, present and future, all of you.
