Sprinkler (Continued from page 1) Harry Davis said the amount of people and no sprinklers creates a dangerous situation. “We (the city) require sprinklers in hotels and motels taller than one story, and a dormitory is no differ ent than a hotel or motel,” Davis said. But Harry Stiteler, director of Safety and Health at A&M, said the residence halls are safe as they are. “They were constructed according to code, and we feel like they meet all the requirements,” Stiteler said. “They’re very safe.” Buildings with more than 15,000 square feet or taller than three sto ries are required by College Station to have sprinkler systems, but state buildings are not required to comply. A&M’s residence halls do have one sprinkler in each building in the trash shoot. They also have fire alarms and water valves to hook up to firehoses on each floor. Some University buildings do have sprinkler systems, but they are mostly science buildings such as the new Chemistry Building and Bioche mistry and Biophysics Building. Stiteler said A&M would like sprinkler systems in all buildings on campus, but funding restrictions presently do not allow for it. Davis said sprinkler systems art about $1.25 per square foot for stallation, although cost also dt pends on whether the building new or already in place. The Fire marshall said the firede S artment continues to hold ia reath that a large fire doesn’t breal out in one of the residence halls. “We’ve never had a serious firea the dorms, but we’ve had some dost calls,” Davis said. “We’ve been re< lucky.” WELCOME BACK AGGIES Students depend on us as the source for books.
