Have a design challenge you'd like to propose? Send it to us at [email protected]. How would you design it? That's the topic this week with our first Design Challenge. Here's the project parameters for our theoretical setup: Codes: 2012 International Building and Fire Code Standard: NFPA 13 - 2010 Edition System Type: Wet Pipe System, Fully-Sprinklered Seismic: Occupancy II, Design Category B Construction Type: V-B (combustible) Structure: Solid Engineered Joists Pipe Type: CPVC or Black Steel Surroundings: Unit door runs to the common corridor; additional units reside on each side of these units  If these units connect directly to a common corridor, how would you layout the sprinkler & pipe, and any accessories (hangers, fittings, etc) in this area? Describe how you would approach it below in the comments section or submit your concept to enter the challenge. You'll get points towards the new design leaderboard just for entering, with top-voted designs highlighted on our site. Be sure to submit your concept by the end of this Friday. Voting Next Week We'll take top designs and post them next week for discussion and voting. These challenges could be a great way to think creatively and learn more about the design and review process. Future Challenges Have a scenario you'd like to propose for a future challenge?
