Need help: Fire Resistance Rating for On-Call Room Ceiling

[LeaguesBeneath]

Hey all,

I’m new around here and I’m currently working as a PM for construction in a hospital. I have zero construction background.

We’re building several on-call rooms for our resident doctors and an entire administrative wing (no patients will be seen here), and I’m curious as to what the fire rating should be for these spaces?

For patient rooms, I know we should have a 2-hr fire rating, but I can’t find anything for administrative space or on-call rooms. If someone can help me out, I’d appreciate it immensely. If someone could also reference the NFPA so I can read and educate myself, I’d appreciate that as well.

Thank you

Not enough information. We need to know at a minimum the size of the building and the type of construction, as well as the occupancy classification of the spaces you're asking about, and the occupancy classification of the story above the spaces you're asking about.

You mention NFPA 101, which I believe hospital commissions use as a standard, but why aren't you asking about building codes?

The fundamental question, though, is why you are asking us rather than your architect?

Whatever the architect drew on the plans....Maybe...
