About 100 stalls at the Naval Academy.

At the United States Naval Academy, we installed approximately 100 toilet stalls: powder-coated steel, mounted from the ceiling.

Ceiling-hung toilet stalls

Our firsthand experience

An installation we know firsthand

Our work at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis included powder-coated steel toilet partitions in a ceiling-hung configuration.

We installed approximately 100 stalls. That scale and direct involvement are part of the practical installation experience our team brings to a project.

A separate installation in a presentation space

On another Naval Academy job, we installed a projector mount that lowered from the ceiling in a theater or presentation space. It was a separate installation from the restroom partitions and another example of our hands-on work at the Academy.

Material and mounting are separate decisions

Powder-coated steel describes the partition material and finish. Ceiling-hung describes how the partition system is supported. Both belong in a project specification; a material name by itself does not define the installation.

For your own project, confirm the selected system, supporting structure and manufacturer’s installation requirements with the project team. Use approved drawings to establish the layout and mounting details before ordering.

Planning guidance for a similar project

Coordinate a ceiling-hung system before the ceiling is closed.

Our Naval Academy installation combined a material choice—powder-coated steel—with a mounting choice—ceiling-hung. For a similar project, resolve the support and layout together before setting the installation date.

Identify who owns the overhead support

Ask the design team to confirm the supporting structure and attachment requirements for the selected system. Assign responsibility for providing and checking that support. Do not assume a finished ceiling provides the required structure. Coordinate access for the supporting work before the surrounding construction is closed.

Reconcile the drawing with finished conditions

Check the approved partition layout against the finished floor, walls, ceiling and fixture locations. Record the specified heights, attachment positions and door swings. Resolve discrepancies with the project team before drilling or ordering replacement components; a drawing from a different mounting style is not an interchangeable detail.

Keep the installation sequence realistic

Confirm when the support, finishes and work area will be ready, and how the crew and materials will reach it. For controlled facilities, arrange entry requirements with the site contact before scheduling the crew. Keep adjustment, inspection and protection of the completed partitions in the plan.

Questions before you order.

Is ceiling-hung the same as overhead-braced?

No. They are different mounting arrangements with different attachment details. Manufacturer manuals separate the mounting sections; choose the one that matches the order and approved drawings. Powder-coated steel describes the material and finish, not the mounting arrangement.

Can I select the anchors from this project story?

Use the selected manufacturer’s instructions and the project’s structural details. Anchor choice depends on that system and the supporting construction. This historical installation does not establish an anchor specification or load requirement for another building.

Planning references and next steps

Manufacturer references below are examples for planning a new project; they do not identify the products installed on the historical job. Use the documents for your selected system.
