PARTITIONS
Table 530-4 lists the costs of the major partition components. Tables 530-
4a, 4b and 4c break down each of these components into specific types.
The types of partitions in the hospital support areas generally do not vary
from those in bed-care areas. Miami utilizes a larger proportionate
amount of masonry wall as against metal-stud partitions. In the support
areas of the building, both hospitals have a small amount of special
shielding partitions, but the overall partition cost is less because of large
areas with minimum finishes, such as shops, boiler rooms and storage
space.
