Appendix I
Physical Exam Wing
I-1
General
I.1.1 When authorized, medical spaces will be provided for physical exams,
treatment and professional medical training. The project documents will
define the authorized space and may provide additional information for the
designer.
I.1.2 Locate the medical wing adjacent to dedicated office space that can
be assigned to the medical unit. The medical wing will typically have its own
entrance, as well as an interior access to the remainder of the building. It
should be somewhat isolated from the rest of the building for reasons of
patient privacy. Planning concepts should allow for privacy of patients when
accessing dressing areas and toilets.
I.1.3 The medical wing layout and capabilities may vary to suit the Tenants'
training and operational requirements. The designer should work with the
Tenants to develop a functional layout.
I.1.4 The types of spaces that may be required are waiting rooms, dressing
rooms, medical exam rooms, dental exam rooms, supply rooms, lavatories
with male and female specimen toilet areas, laboratory, physical exam areas
for blood pressure, EKG, X-ray, audio meter, eye exam, and height and
weight measurement.
I.1.5 Special purpose training areas such as operating rooms, scrub rooms,
two bed wards, sterile supply rooms and pharmacy will be provided only
when justified.
