Modular interior wall systems offer flexible options in healthcare facilities, as well as support for infection control and privacy goals, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
They are manufactured off-site for assembly at a facility. Compared with traditional construction, off-site manufacturing is cleaner, safer, faster and greener, the article said.
The process also means less noise, dust and disruption for patients and staff.
Also, since modular walls are classified as furniture or personal property for tax purposes, they can be depreciated over five to seven years, versus nearly 40 years for traditional construction.
