Second Floor Schematics

t
This diagram shows a very basic space plan of the second floor. The nurses station is central to all the activity and various patient spaces. The thick red line is showing the main circulation. The green scribbles represent the inaccessible garden areas, while the various purple, orange, yellow, and green spaces represent the flower gardens or in-door gardens. These gardens are accessible to patients. The pale blue rectangles are possible sky light locations. The biggest problem is the location of the second set of stairs.

These are first floor Bubble diagrams, really concentrating on circulation through the building. After reading an article about the community needed in cancer care, I decided that radiation and chemo therapies should be on the second floor. This allows these spaces to be more integrated with the gardens and patient interaction spaces.

After reading an article and receiving good advice, I started playing with having patient rooms as close to the nurses station as possible, the chemo therapy and radiation therapy also as close to the nurses station as possible.
