literature review and would help the architect in finalizing his plans. Hospitals are
a difficult planning subject as explained earlier. The maxim ‘Design follows
function’ must be kept in mind while allocating space details. The area
specifications may be taken as indicative as suitable alterations would have to be
made by the architect to conform to the grid matrix.
The total space area including the parking space, HVAC and water is 1,05,319 sq
ft which works out to be 1053.19 sq ft. This is in concurrence with modern
standards of constructing hospitals which provide for an area of 800-1200 sq ft
per bed.
Ground Floor:
Key Departments like OPD, Emergency, Radiology, Laboratory would be situated
on the ground floor. The Radiology dept. would be situated near the Emergency
dept.(According to a study nearly 40% of cases coming to Emergency require X
rays)
The administration department would be located on the 1st floor along with the
Blood bank and General and Paediatric wards.
The Labour room, Obstetric ward and NICU would be located on the 2nd floor
along with the semi-private ward.
The CSSD would also be located on the 2nd floor just below the operation theatre
with provision for dumb waiters between the CSSD and the OT.
The OT’s will not be located on the top floor to avoid the excess heating nor will
they be located near the major traffic areas.
The ICU’s and private wards will also be located on the 3rd floor.
The residential area will be located on the 4th floor just above the ICU’s and the
OT’s. So a doctor can easily attend to the patient when called.
30% of the area is kept for circulation.
