Many rooms are direct applied acoustic tile on gypsum plaster, and these are not going to be able to be matched with new products. Lay-in grid ceilings need to be handled with care and re-installed. Exhibit L Construction Documents and Plans details indicate ceilings to be clean cut as required for frame removal and new frame installation.
