I would appreciate some input here.

IBC Table 1604.5 Category III "structures that represent a substantial hazard to human life...but not limited:"

and then it lists various occupant loads. I have an occupant load of 128. As far as I am concerned, this is a substantial loss of human life and falls into the "but not limited to" category, therefore, falling into category III.

Any input?
