These figures are based on the following assumptions:
1. The average hospital has .10 lineal feet of partition per OGSF (from
measurements of Miami, Memphis, and the Phase 2 Example).
2. The areas of the hospital with 10'-0" high ceilings will constitute no
more than 50% of the area, resulting in a 9'-6" high maximum average
height of partition (excluding slab-to-slab two-hour fire barriers).
3. The cost range of the partition finishes in the Prototype Design is lower
than that in typical VA hospital construction as reflected in the cost
base. The low end of the target cost range is based on the partition
finishes selected for the Building Schematic Design. The high end of
the range is the average cost of partition finishes in the hospitals
analyzed in the cost base. The reduction in the cost of finishes is
mainly attributable to the reduced quantities of vinyl wall covering
considered necessary. It includes heavy vinyl wall covering in
corridors and ceramic tile in areas requiring aseptic conditions or
resistance to moisture.
