Screw the gypsum board directly to a suspended metal framework is the most likely method for attaching the ceiling to the structure when designing a multilevel series of ceiling planes finished with gypsum board in a large office building. This method allows for a level, flat surface and flexibility for future modifications or additions to the ceiling. Using lay-in acoustical tile or nailing gypsum board directly to a wood light-frame structure would not provide the same durability or aesthetic appeal for a large office building.
