This is illustrating Nurture's casegoods by SteelCase. Having forgotten windows, elevations will change. This is just more of a rough feel of a patient room.

This is the first floor, with basic space planning. It shows the circulation as well as the zones: patient spaces, doctors, medical technicians, kitchen/dining, and general building facilities.

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.

2nd Floor Bubble Diagrams

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.

I am currently working on updating the layout of the book. The left image is the cover of last semester's book. The right is a working image of the new design. Note that the logo has changed in the image on the right. It is still evolving.

These are very simple relationship diagrams. These break up the spaces of the block diagrams into a few more specific spaces. The double line represents public access. A single line represents access by personnel, and the x represents no access or no necessary adjacency.

These are very simple block diagrams of both the first and second floor of the building. This just shows the very basic zones/sections of the building.
