The materials used to construct the façade will match those of the existing structure to blend the new with the old. New features such as the new service entries reflect Civista’s updated look.

Building Envelope:
The exterior walls of the Civista Medical Center consist of four different systems. First, there is the field glazed, prefabricated aluminum curtain and window wall system. Either single span or multi-span, the curtain wall is supported at the structural slabs using dead load and wind load anchors. There is a thermal separation designed to achieve Condensation Resistance Factors (CRF) for the frame components as well as vertical mullions used to accommodate differential movement within the profile section. Windows are either 1” clear, low E coated insulate glass units or 1” spandrel glass assembly. The system is located at all exterior windows except for the CICU expansion, where there are fixed aluminum window systems. Second is the modular face, non load-bearing brick to match the existing building. This system is constructed over concrete block backup and over steel stud. The brick over concrete block backup is located along the ground floor masonry screen wall between the courtyard and service area. Its components include a 2” air space, a sprayed bituminous dampproofing, and 8” block. The brick over the steel stud system includes a 2” air space, 14 gauge hot-dipped galvanized brick ties, ½” silicone treated, glass faced sheathing, 6mil polyethylene vapor barrio, 6” galvanized steel studs @ 16” OC, 6” unfaced fiberglass batt insulation, and 5/8” gypsum board. Third, calcium silicate masonry units are located at various locations. They are 11-5/8” wide x 23-5/8” long x 3-5/8” wide. Its assembly is similar to the brick over the steel stud system. Fourth, the metal wall panel assembly is a system consisting of prefabricated, non-insulated, metal panels applied to the face of structural steel stud framing and secured to outside face of floor slab.
The roofing system is comprised of loose laid EPDM membrane with rock ballast over tapered insulation, all top of the level concrete deck. The EPDM system consists of tapered isocyanurate insulation, single-ply roofing membrane, prefabricated penetrant flashings and strip flashing, low-rise adhesive, retainer bars and fasteners, lap- and water-cut-off-sealants, and combination of rock and paver ballast.
