Question #1: Is it required to place an LED sign in every classroom, or will it depend on the number of students and staff?

Question #2: Is it allowed to repurpose existing wiring and warranty as new?
Answer #2: Yes, as long as the run distance and gage of wire meets or exceeds minimum Code requirements.
Question #3: Is it acceptable to do a one-for-one replacement on the FA and add the necessary coverage per design build?
