Hypobaric Chamber Toilet.
Locate a unisex handicapped accessible
toilet near the hypobaric chamber.
Hypobaric Chamber Mechanical Room. This space contains the vacuum
pump and both the shop and medical air compressors. The hypobaric pump
system is supplied with the trainer device.
Since equipment furnished by
both device contractor and construction contractor may be located in the same
space, determine interface points between the two. Provide adequate space
for operation, maintenance, and servicing of equipment including access to
both the interior and exterior of the building. Pump rooms may require high
ceilings to allow maintenance access with a permanent or temporary overhead
crane to assist in the maintenance and repair.
Isolate floors and acoustically treat walls and doors where the
source of vibration and sound can adversely affect adjacent spaces. Isolate
the noise transmitted through to the chamber area. Avoid locating pump rooms
on upper levels where sound can reverberate through structural systems.
Hypobaric Chamber Room. Provide exterior double doors for medical
emergency access and implosive venting. Comply with NFPA 99B, Hypobaric
Facilities. The need for utility trenches is rare, but must be assessed for
each project based on the equipment needs.

space for cleaning equipment and supplies, mop rack, and a deep sink or mop
receptor.
Library. This space provides information and resources. In
addition to books, the learning center may contain records, tapes and film.
Some facilities may need reading areas. Provide storage for Navy
publications and rate-training manuals. Acoustic controlling materials are
necessary to ensure a quiet environment. This room may also function as the
administrative conference room.
Lobby. While accommodating any memorabilia provided by the user,
utilize wall area for a bulletin board and building directory and avoid
oversizing corridors and entry areas for static teaching displays. An
entrance vestibule is recommended for energy conservation, including a
recessed scuff area for control of debris from foot traffic.
Locker Room. Provide 1 full height locker and clothes hook for
each military staff person and garment changing area with wall mounted number
8 finish stainless steel mirror. Provide permanent built-in curb mounted
lockers except where future flexibility is required. Minimize blind spots
and/or visual obstructions except as required for privacy.
