Table with rotated headings on fixed height rows

Question

I am trying to create a 2 x 2 table with centered headings. The row headings need to be rotated as shown below (mocked-up in another program). The cells are supposed to be 1in tall and 1.4in wide.

What I get instead is the following. The height of the parbox seems to have been added to the cell height. I have tried correcting this with \raisebox and \strut and \rule to no avail:

My code currently looks like this:

\begin{supertabular}{c | p{1.4in} | p{1.4in} |}
    \multicolumn{1}{c}{} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\centering Full} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\centering Partial} \\
    \cline{2-3}
    \raisebox{-1in}[0in][0in]{\rotatebox{90}{\parbox[c]{1in}{\centering Shutdown}}} & {Pellentesque enim mi, ornare in blandit quis, dignissim ut velit. Etiam tempus tortor quam.} & {Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin a lorem sed dui aliquam feugiat eget at arcu.} \\[1in]
    \cline{2-3}
    \raisebox{-1in}[0in][0in]{\rotatebox{90}{\parbox[c]{1in}{\centering Active}}} & {Pellentesque convallis scelerisque libero, eu gravida metus porttitor nec. Nulla facilisi.} & {Sed auctor nibh at purus mattis porta. Nunc vitae ante lacus.} \\[1in]
    \cline{2-3}
\end{supertabular}

Answer 1

Thanks to Lionel's comment, and some extra digging, I found that the following works:

\newlength{\height}
\setlength{\height}{1in}
\newlength{\pointsevenbaselineskip}
\setlength{\pointsevenbaselineskip}{0.7\baselineskip}

\begin{supertabular}{c @{\rule[-\height+\pointsevenbaselineskip]{0pt}{\height}~} | p{1.4in} | p{1.4in} |}
    \multicolumn{1}{c}{} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\centering Full} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{\centering Partial} \\
    \cline{2-3}
    \raisebox{-\height+\pointsevenbaselineskip}[0in][0in]{\rotatebox{90}{\parbox[c]{\height}{\centering Shutdown}}} 
        & \small{Pellentesque enim mi, ornare in blandit quis, dignissim ut velit. Etiam tempus tortor quam.} 
        & \small{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin a lorem sed dui aliquam feugiat eget at arcu.} \\
    \cline{2-3}
    \raisebox{-\height+\pointsevenbaselineskip}[0in][0in]{\rotatebox{90}{\parbox[c]{\height}{\centering Active}}}
        & \small{Pellentesque convallis scelerisque libero, eu gravida metus porttitor nec. Nulla facilisi.} 
        & \small{Sed auctor nibh at purus mattis porta. Nunc vitae ante lacus.} \\
    \cline{2-3}
\end{supertabular}

I'm not sure why even with the calc package, -\height+\pointsevenbaselineskip works, but -\height+0.7\baselineskip does not.

This approach is non-ideal if the row height isn't fixed (mine isn't, despite the way I posed the question), but I can \setlength{\height}{...} on a per-row basis if necessary. If someone can offer a better solution, particularly if it provides a way to infer the cell height and center automatically, I'll be happy to accept it.
