Using Steel Studs In Commericial Building In PA

I have a job I landed in Trevose, PA. I was wondering what is code for steel studs. It looks like the original walls are 25 gauge. It is also a non-load bearing wall attached to a drop ceiling. I also need to know what kind of support I could use to attach it to the ceiling since this will be the first steel studded wall I will be working on. Thanks.

The best advice you can get would come from your local code enforcement officer. It's always good to check in with them; it's good PR time as well!
