Realizing I’m out in left field most of the time, bleachers are often group A plastics and when in the open position would, IMHO, be a significant obstruction to the floor space below them.
If not open, they would still be a significant fuel load. As Chris Cahill used to say, “How many fires have we had?”. I’m not aware of any. BUT, they are plastics and / or wood. Not even two cents worth I’m sure… Looking to get kicked around again, Scott From: Fpdcdesign <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 19, 2024 8:49 PM To: Discussion list on issues relating to automatic fire sprinklers <[email protected]> Subject: [Sprinklerforum] Re: Gym Hazard Classification “Articulate owner’s certificate”?

Gym mats are one thing, rummage sales, craft fairs, job and college recruiting expos, church and other assemblies, those are different things. Iagree 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.
