CATHEDRAL OF THE ROCKIES - To install a new alarm system in an existing building in conjunction with a new addition and TI work. The alarm system will include a manual system, partial area smoke detection, duct detectors for smoke damper release and HVAC air handler shut down, elevator recall, monitoring of the fire sprinkler system, complete a/v alarm annunciation and offsite alarm monitoring. The Building permit (BLD00-03729) is to demolish the administration wing of an existing church (Southeast corner) and construct a 13,500 square foot basement, 17,000 square foot first floor, and 3,250 square foot 2nd floor in its place. Within existing adjacent areas a 1-hr stairway and 2,400 square foot second floor are being constructed. Work is to include concrete footings and foundations, concrete floors, 4-hr area separation walls, a fire sprinkler system, and a fire alarm system. Fire sprinklers are used to substitute for 1-hr fire resistive construction.

NOTE to Fire Inspector: No voice alarm system is required because the largest A2.1 occupancy load is 982 in the new A1 Sanctuary (non-fixed seating, load capacity is to be posted); the next largest A2.1 load is 795 in the existing A2 Sanctuary (fixed seating, posting not required).
