PERFORMANCE
A. Basic Function
1. Provide physical separation between spaces included in the program, constructed to
achieve fire ratings required by code, appropriate security between adjacent spaces, and
visual, acoustical, olfactory, and atmospheric isolation as necessary to maintain desirable
conditions in each space.
2. Where partition elements also must function as elements defined within another element
group, meet requirements of both element groups.
3. Brand Names: Where brand names are listed, they represent the Basis of Design unless
those items are identified as approved proprietary items in project requirements.
B. Amenity and Comfort
1. Appearance
a. Provide partitions that are smooth in texture at all circulation routes (SC spaces).
b. Provide operable partitions that are compatible in appearance with fixed partitions in
the same space, employing similar materials, colors, and textures.
2. Health and Safety
a. Fire Resistance: Provide fire ratings as required by code.
b. Sanitation: At spaces used for food preparation, provide smooth, impervious, and
water-resistant partition surfaces and integral coved base that will allow chemical
cleaning and sterilization without damage.
3. Structure
a. Lintels: Constructed to span openings in partitions and support imposed loads with
maximum deflection vertically and horizontally of 1/360 of span.
b. Vertical Loads: Provide partitions with sufficient strength to withstand anticipated
Code prescribed vertical loads for wall-mounted handrails, equipment, and
furnishings without excessive deflection or structural damage.
c. Horizontal Loads: Provide partitions with sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand
anticipated Code prescribed horizontal loading conditions without excessive
deflection or structural damage.
PRODUCTS
A. Fixed Partitions
1. Construct all partitions in a manner consistent with Materials and Systems Standards and
all project requirements.
