AMMRL: fire sprinklers in lab

Hello everyone,
This was touched on in a Lab Wishlist email back in December 2012 but I would like to revisit fire suppression options in an nmr facility. I just got an email they are about to start installing sprinklers in the building, and while I am assured they are aware of the magnets, the fact that I wasn't at least consulted has me skeptical. Am I missing anything in my considerations:

-Copper pipes is a must (no steel)
-Dry suppression would be ideal
-If not dry, then a double pre-action system

Any concern with head placement? Seems it wouldn't matter much once you reach the point of water in the room. What have I forgotten?

As always, thanks to all who respond.

David
