 DRIVEAWAY
• THE GLORY OF THE MAGNIFICENT
INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE WARMTH
OF THE AMBIENCE DISTINGUISH
ROCKLAND HOSPITAL FROM THE REST.
THE HOSPITAL ATRIUM SURROUNDED WITH
FOUNTAINS AND GREENERY ADDS A SOOTHING
AND HEALING TOUCH OF ITS OWN
 CAR PARKING

• PARKING BEING PROVIDED WITH IN THE SETBACKS OF THE HOSPITAL AREA

MOSTLY AT THE BACK.
• SOME CARS WERE PARKED IN FRONT OF THE HOSPITAL.
• LOCATION OF THE HOSPITAL SHOULD BE CONVENIENT IN RELATION TO THE
PEOPLE IT SERVES.
• EFFECTIVE ZONING IS REQUIRED.
• PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY ARE IMPORTANT , ESPECIALLY AT THE
RECEPTION DESK AND CLINICAL ROOMS DURING CONSULTATIONS AND
TREATMENTS.
 TYPES OF STRUCTURES :
THE THREE STRUCTURAL MATERIALS USED TODAY ARE CONCRETE, STEEL,
AND WOOD. EACH HAS ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES. EACH CAN BE
USED ALONE AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH EACH OTHER.
 MAIN ENTRANCE
• GENERAL TRAFFIC GOES ONLY TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE; FOR HYGIENE
REASONS (E.G. RISK OF INFECTION), SPECIAL ENTRANCES ARE TO BE
SHOWN SEPARATELY. THE ENTRANCE HALL, ON THE BASIS OF THE OPEN-
DOOR PRINCIPLE, SHOULD BE DESIGNED AS A WAITING ROOM FOR
VISITORS. TODAY’S LAYOUTS ARE MORE LIKE THAT OF A MODERN HOTEL
FOYER, HAVING MOVED AWAY FROM THE TYPICAL HOSPITAL CHARACTER.
THE SIZE OF THE HALL DEPENDS ON BED CAPACITY AND THE EXPECTED
NUMBER OF VISITORS. CIRCULATION ROUTES FOR VISITORS, PATIENTS AND
STAFF ARE SEPARATED FROM THE HALL ONWARDS. THE RECEPTION AND
TELEPHONE SWITCHBOARD (12M2) ARE FORMED USING COUNTERS,
ALLOWING STAFF TO SUPERVISE MORE EFFECTIVELY.
• TRANSPORTED ON TROLLEYS SHOULD HAVE A MINIMUM EFFECTIVE WIDTH
OF 2.25M.
• THE SUSPENDED CEILING IN CORRIDORS MAY BE INSTALLED UP TO 2.40 M.
• WIDOWS FOR LIGHTING AND VENTILATION SHOULD NOT BE FURTHER THAN
25M APART.
•
 DIMENSIONAL COORDINATION
• MODULES: MODULAR DIMENSIONAL CO-ORDINATION IS THE BEST STARTING POINT FOR
MEETING STRATEGIC DESIGN REQUIREMENTS. REFERENCE SYSTEMS, BASIC MODULES AND
MULTIPLE MODULES FOR CONSTRUCTION DETAILS, LAYOUT AND DIMENSIONS OF BUILDING
PARTS ARE ALL TO BE CONSIDERED. FOR HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTION THE PREFERRED
MODULE DIMENSIONS 12M ARE RECOMMENDED, OR 6M OR 3M IF THE INCREMENTS ARE
TOO NUMEROUS
 SERVICES YARD
• HOSPITAL LOGISTICS SHOULD BE CENTRED ONE PLACE. A SERVICE YARD, CONVENIENTLY
SITUATED IN A LOW-LEVEL SUPPLIES AND DISPOSAL AREA, MAKES THIS POSSIBLE. THE
SUPPLY AND DISPOSAL OF ALL HOSPITAL GOODS AND MATERIALS IS CONDUCTED VIA A
SEPARATE ROAD CONNECTION, SEGREGATED FROM THE MAIN AND EMERGENCYENTRANCES.
 RECOVERY ROOM RRQUIRMENTS
• THE RECOVERY ROOM MUST ACCOMMODATE THE POST OPERATIVE
PATIENTS FROM MORE THAN ONE OPERATING THEATRE. THE NUMBER OF
BEDS REQUIRED IS CALCULATED AS 1.5 TIMES THE NUMBER OF OPERATING
THEATRES. ADIOINING IS A SMALL SLUICE ROOM WITH DRAINAGE SINKS. A
NURSE’S MONITORING POSITION MUST BE PROVIDED FROM WHICH ALL THE
BEDS CAN BE . DESIGNS SHOULD ALLOW IN DAYLIGHT TO HELP T HE PATIENTS
TO ORIENTATE THEMSELVES
 EQUIPMENT ROOM
• ALTHOUGH DIRECT ACCESS TO THE OPERATING THEATRE IS PREFERABLE, IT
IS NOT ALWAYS FEASIBLE;WHERE DIRECT ACCESS CANNOT BE PROVIDED,
THE EQUIPMENT ROOM MUST BE LOCATED AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE
THEATRE IN ORDER TO REDUCE WAITING TIMES. A ROOM SIZE OF
APPROXIMATELY 20M SHOULD BE ALLOWED.
