About this file
This is a Design Guide for Wall Types that serves as Exhibit B Agency Requirements for RLP No. 6OH0315, a federal lease solicitation issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Facilities Management Division. The document provides technical specifications and architectural drawings for eight partition wall types required for District and Field Office construction and renovation projects.
The guide details specific wall construction requirements for different applications: Partition Type 1 (W-1) specifies a standard demising wall with 5/8" Type X gypsum wallboard, 3 5/8" metal studs at 24" on-center, and 3 1/2" sound batt insulation, achieving a minimum Noise Isolation Class (NIC) of 40 minimum; Partition Type 2 (W-2) is a similar construction without insulation and does not require NIC rating; Partition Type 3 (W-3) uses top track connection to the deck with no NIC requirement; Partition Type 4 (W-4) is an enhanced acoustic wall with QuietRock ES gypsum board inner layer, 20-gauge metal studs, acoustic sealant on top and bottom tracks, minimized penetrations, and acoustic liners on ducts, achieving NIC 45 minimum; Partition Type 5 (W-5) includes fire-rated plywood attached to back and side walls with intumescent paint for LAN room applications, achieving NIC 40 minimum; Partition Type 6 (W-6) utilizes moisture-resistant gypsum board for wet wall sides in restrooms with ceramic tile cove base and wainscot ceramic tile to 5'-0", achieving NIC 40 minimum; Partition Type 7 (W-7) incorporates stainless steel or high-impact vinyl wall protection to 48" above finished floor for mailroom applications with no NIC requirement; and Partition Type 8 (W-8) is a secure demising wall with 1/2" Level 3 ballistic sheathing, 9-11 security carbon steel mesh, 3/4" plywood sheathing, 20-gauge 3 5/8" metal studs at 16" on-center, achieving NIC 50 minimum. All partition types reference scheduled flooring, finished slab conditions, and 2x2 acoustical ceiling tile at 9'-0" minimum height. The guide was updated to Version 1.7 in July 2026.
