I need to build some dividing walls, but per landlord requirements, these cannot reach the ceiling (must be 12" below the 100" high ceiling) to prevent re-working the existing sprinklers.
The floor is concrete & I can secure to side walls and floor.
The newly created space will need to have a door, so the walls need to support the door and minimal decor (pictures).
It seems to me that securing to the side walls and concrete floor should be sufficient, but I'd appreciate feedback or to bring-up concerns that I haven't considered.
Thanks!

I would simply ask if you can have two beams on each wall that hit the ceiling. These could span to the 1/3 mark on the walls and would keep it from flexing. Simple 4x4 would probably look the best and should still pass fire code.
