Comment
Now, innovative relocatables falling under Type V are not permitted via the pre‑manufactured building program as SREF‑compliant for classroom use. But, incorporating fire sprinklers in a Type V relocatable provides greater life‑safety than that of a non‑sprinklered Type I, II or IV relocatable.
