This large dormitory was especially complex in nature with several large combustible attic spaces requiring protection with CC sprinkler fed from CPVC piping. The overall plan set was 32 sheets and required seismic bracing layout, calculations as well as seismic separations. The standpipe system also required hose connections to be added due to horizontal exit passageways to meet hose distance requirements. The plans also went through a 3rd party extensive review with minimal changes required for resubmittal.
