FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS UPGRADE FOR PRINTS, DRAWINGS AND PHOTOGRAPHS GALLERY, DEPARTMENT, AND STORAGE ROOMS [THE DETROIT INSTITUTE OF ARTS (DIA) REQUESTS AN NEH SCHC GRANT OF $349,534 IN SUPPORT OF NEW FIRE SUPPRESSION AND EARLY WARNING DETECTION SYSTEMS FOR THE PRINTS, DRAWINGS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS (PDP) GALLERIES, DEPARTMENT, AND STORAGE ROOMS. THE HALON FIRE SUPPRESSION FOR PDP IS BOTH OUTDATED AND POSES AN ENVIRONMENTAL RISK. IN A WORLD WHERE SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS DRIVE DECISIONS, THE DIA IS ACTIVELY IMPLEMENTING GOALS AND STRATEGIES FOR REDUCING CARBON EMISSIONS, WHICH INCLUDES UPDATING OUTDATED EQUIPMENT. THE RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE TO THE CURRENT HALON SYSTEM IS A BLEND OF A (1) PREACTION SPRINKLER SYSTEM, AND (2) FK-5-1-12 GAS FIRE SUPPRESSION, COMBINED WITH A VESDA? AIR ASPIRATING SMOKE DETECTION. THESE COMBINED SYSTEMS ALONG WITH UPGRADED WET-PIPE SPRINKLERS OFFER THE MOST RELIABLE AND SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION FOR PDP. IT IS AN OPPORTUNE TIME TO?UPGRADE THE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM, WHILE THE GALLERIES ARE CLOSED FOR REPLACEMENT OF OTHER OUTDATED EQUIPMENT.]
