Ashland Community and Technical College Radiation Technology Renovation
Ashland, KY

This project is a renovation to an existing block of classroom offices in the northeast corner of the third floor that will introduce a Radiology Technology program to Ashland CTC’s curriculum. Interior walls will be demolished to open the space.  The new space will then be separated into two rooms with a plywood reinforced, 18-gauge metal stud, gypsum board wall with 1/32” lead sheathing on the side of the new Radiology Lab. To protect against radiation from the new equipment, the dividing wall, 4’ wide door, viewing window, and all penetrations through the wall will need to be protected with the equivalent of 1/32” continuous lead sheathing. New upper and lower cabinets to be installed on the plan south wall. The Observation room will inhabit the remainder of the space and have lower casework along the plan east wall for control stations and viewing of the radiology equipment on the protected side of any radiation. The metal panel in the corridor between column lines 6 and 7 will be demolished so that a new 4’-0” door can be placed in the existing wall. The spaces will receive new lay-in ceiling and flooring.

A new overhead structural system of Unistrut is to be installed in the Radiology Lab to support the Xray equipment. The patient table will be bolted through the floor and secured on the underside of the second floor. New electrical will be run through the spaces to serve the equipment and dedicated generator cabinet. All radiology equipment and control stations are to be moved, installed, and commissioned by a subcontractor to the owner and must be scheduled by the contractor.
