Abstract

In planning hospitals, one of the important procedures is to assess the total floor area and to decide the proportion of space of various departments composing a hospital. For reference to architects, we have tried to analyze the use of space in recent hospital buildings. Twenty-six examples were chosen for this study. The total floor area per bed was found to vary from 50m^2 to 60m^2 in general hospitals. The relative amount of space occupied by each department of general hospital was as follows : (1) Ward : 30〜40% (2) Outpatient department : 10〜15% (3) Adjunct diagnostic and treatment facilities : 15〜25% 1 Laboratory 3.5〜5.0% 2 Physiological laboratory 1.0〜2.3% 3 X-ray dept. 3.0〜4.5% 4 Radiotherapy dept. 0.6〜1.2% 5 Nuclear medicine dept. 0.6〜1.8% 6 Operating dept. 2.6〜6.6% 7 Delivery suite 0.5〜1.0% 8 Rehabilitation dept. 1.0〜2.5% (4) Supply department : 15〜25% 1 Pharmacy 2.0〜3.0% 2 Central sterile and supply dept. 1.0〜1.7% 3 Kitchen 2.0〜4.0% 4 Laundry 0.2〜1.4% 5 Central storage about 1% 6 Mechanical and electrical plant 7.0〜11.0% (5) Administration department : 10〜15%
