COMPONENT COSTS

STRUCTURE
Table 530-2 lists the costs of the major structural components at Miami
and Memphis. Neither of them use shear walls. Cost differences between
the tower and base floors below the tower are due to larger columns.
Reduced load capacity requirements account for the lower cost of roof
construction.

CEILINGS
Table 530-3 lists the costs of the major types of ceiling. The ceiling costs
in the support areas of the two hospitals averages somewhat less per
gross square feet of floor area than in the bed-care areas because there
are large areas of shop, storage and boiler room uses, which have merely
paint on the structure. Miami utilized a significant amount of cement
enamel in moist areas.
