It's probably safe to say that most university buildings are probably sprinkled -- although there may be some very old ones that have been "Grandfathered" under new codes.
Most, or at least many, private houses are not, and, to the best of my knowledge, not many jusisdictions have placed this requirement on privately owned property.
Isn't it tragic that it took an event like the dorm fire to bring this legislation?
Some of the places I lived in college were definite firetraps. I'll bet a lot of them are still there.
