Wall Assembly Cross-Sections
Horizontal slices through wall types W1–W6. Layer colors are locked across all details for fast contractor coordination, and total thicknesses are dimensioned in purple.
W1 — North Concrete Wall
STC 65 · ~39 cm totalExisting 300 mm concrete (street behind — the ONLY concrete wall on the perimeter, S3-SITE-TRUTH §2) upgraded with RSIC-1 clips, hat channel cavity, 50 mm Rockwool, and two gypsum layers to control reflected energy into the rooms. Never through-fix to the concrete outside the clips.
W2 — West Diagonal: Existing Gypsum + NEW Independent Inner Leaf [AC]
STC ~60 class (est. 55–60) · ~13 cm new build-upThe existing west diagonal is a GYPSUM stud wall (S3-SITE-TRUTH §2, photo IMG_1291) — NOT concrete, so a clips-on-mass lining is void. Isolation is a free-standing independent inner stud leaf (BOQ PW-02): 70 mm studs set clear of the existing leaf with a ≥25 mm air gap and NO fixings into the existing wall, RWA45 cavity fill, and 2 × 12.5 mm SoundBloc with Green Glue. What is behind the existing wall is UNVERIFIED — ask before any penetration.
W3 — East Server Wall [AC]
STC 62 · ~26.5 cm totalDecoupled stud leaf against the existing GYPSUM leaf and its ~100 mm air gap to the B313 block wall (S3-SITE-TRUTH §2). B313 is a SERVER ROOM running 24/7 — the existing air gap is the decoupler: keep it UNFILLED and never bridge it. 70 mm studs + Rockwool, double 16 mm gypsum skins with Green Glue on both sides. Green Glue application is mandatory [AC].
W4 — South Rebuilt Wall [AC]
STC 50 · ~15 cm totalThe south wall is an existing GYPSUM interior partition (S3-SITE-TRUTH §2), lined/rebuilt to STC 50 class (BOQ PW-03): gypsum / Green Glue on both faces, 100 mm stud cavity, RW100 insulation. D1 + D5 are NEW FRAMED OPENINGS on structural steel subframes per the IAC doorset schedule (BOQ D-07) — NO concrete cutting, NO lintels; the subframes carry the ~75 kg leaves + slam loads.
W5 — Buffer Spine [AC]
STC 55 · ~15 cm totalNEW BUILD (BOQ W-07) — the site is an empty shell; no spine exists and there is nothing to demolish. Double-leaf x=213.6→228.6, full depth y=0→431, independent frames, isolated cavity, head sealed to slab, STC 55 class. It mirrors W4 but remains a dedicated service spine; no door, and the only penetrations are the sleeved, OFFSET SN-03 snake/conduit crossings. Keep framing true because it establishes the offset between the east and west room sets.
W6 — VO / Control Partition
STC 53 · ~12 cm totalNEW BUILD (BOQ W-10) at y=280 — no prior partition existed on site. Lightweight staggered-stud partition carrying the observation window opening. Maintain the stagger so the opposite gypsum faces are not hard-coupled through the studs. Seal the partition head to the slab (continuous plenum barrier).
