• FOR THE IN-PATIENT WARDS, SEVERAL CRITERIA HAD TO BE SATISFIED : PROVISION OF
CROSS-VENTILATION IN EVERY ROOM.
• EVERY BED TO HAVE A VIEW OF THE OUTSIDE; A MINIMUM WALKING DISTANCE FROM
• THE NURSES STATION TO THE ROOMS AND ALSO ALLOWING A SENSE OF VISUAL CHECK.
• FLEXIBILITY FOR THE FUTURE SO THAT ANY FLOOR COULD BE CONVERTED FROM WARDS
TO ROOMS AND VICE-VERSA : AS THE FLOORS PROGRESS
• THE CONFIGURATION FOR THE HIERARCHY OF THE ROOMS TO GET ESTABLISHED.
