Healthcare facilities are utilizing modular constructions where elements like the patient restroom or headwall are built off-site and then shipped to the project where they are then installed. The modular assemblies are constructed under tight quality control and the manufacturers suggest savings in labor, shortened schedules, and improved architectural and acoustical performance. Modular patient restroom assemblies were used in the construction of a new major Colorado hospital with 360 private patient rooms. This includes the restrooms used in the labor and delivery areas of the hospital. Acoustical plus and minuses with the use of the modular patient restrooms will be discussed along with recommendations to maintain sound isolation between the spaces. This includes detailing during design and modifications needed to address issues in the field.
