production of special parts, a standard spacing was established for intersecting and parallel buildings. The bakery building, located adjacent to the galley wing of the mess hall, was connected to it by means of an all-aluminum covered passage to the galley. This covered passage was designed from standard building parts and provided a sheltered link between bakery and galley. One corner of the bakery was partitioned off from the baking area to serve as a lunch pantry. Lunches for men working at other sites were prepared here and picked up at deal windows by the workmen as they left the mess hall after the morning meal. Interior partitioning was in general accomplished by the use of aluminum partitions starting approximately 1 foot, 3 inches from the floor and extending to a height of 6 feet, 9 inches. The "standard" partition used consisted of square extruded aluminum posts and rectangular extruded aluminum rails arranged to form a supporting framework to receive corrugated aluminum filler panels. The open spaces above and below were to provide for air ciruclation throughout the building; but where greater privacy or complete separation of rooms was required, special filler sections were designed to close from the floor to the bottom rail of the partition and from the top rail to the underside of the roof. These filler sections were usually aluminum panels, but in some of the more complex buildings these were not the most suitable or the most practical method of closure. In these buildings, the closure was made with plywood panels on wood framing. This method was particularly adaptable where walls were lined with plywood or where ceilings had been installed and the transition from wood construction to aluminum presented difficulties. It was planned to install plumbing fixtures in most aluminum buildings on Parry Island and on other sites. Investigation of the standard aluminum partitions generally used indicated, however, that these partitions did not in themselves possess sufficient strength to support plumbing fixtures, and it became necessary to devise a suitable method of installing these fixtures. A support or rack was designed, its size dependent upon the number of fixtures. This support consisted of a system of separate posts and a flat aluminum plate, reinforced with aluminum angles, spanning between the posts. stability the floor ends were top rails fixtures, To provide lateral for these racks, the floor ends of the posts were bolted to in the same manner as standard partitions posts. The upper secured by aluminum clip angles or plates to wall girts or of partitions. By this system support was achieved for the and exposed plumbing was minimized. Small aluminum hoods were provided as standard for all exterior doors, but in particular instances where it was desirable or necessary to provide more protection from the sun or weather, canopies or covered walks were designed. In the design of these canopies, as at the infirmary, administration buildings and bakery, standard building parts were utilized. 5-108
