Sleeping facilities that aren’t health care or detention facilities are classified as Residential occupancies. In building and fire codes, the key is the building’s primary use. Residential occupancies cover places where people sleep or live, such as hotels, motels, apartment houses, and dormitories used for living rather than for medical care or confinement. Health care occupancies include hospitals and other facilities where care is provided; detention and correctional occupancies are jails or prisons; educational occupancies cover places used for instruction, like schools. Since the scenario describes sleeping accommodations whose main purpose isn’t health care or confinement, it fits the residential category.
