MAIN ENTRANCE
General traffic goes only to the main entrance; for hygiene reasons (e.g. risk of infection), special entrances are to be shown separately. The entrance hall, on the basis of the open-door principle, should be designed as a waiting room for visitors. Today's layouts are more like that of a modern hotel foyer, having moved away from the typical hospital character. Circulation routes for visitors, patients and staff are separated from the hall onwards. The reception and help desks are formed using counters, allowing staff to supervise more effectively. However, it must be possible to prevent public access from reception to inner areas and main staff circulation routes.

CIRCULATION
Entrance and circulation within the building must consider wheelchair users, parents with small children and people with disabilities. CORRIDORS Corridors must be designed for the maximum expected circulation flow. Access corridors are used by the doctors, visitors as well as patients. Windows for lighting and ventilation failed to allow maximum lighting and ventilation to the corridor. Smoke doors are installed in ward corridors in accordance with local regulations wheelchair users, parents with small children and people with disabilities. Granite flooring is bacteria resistant which made it suitable for a hospital. 3m wide corridor made the movement of visitors and doctors at a time

STAIRS
For safety reasons stairs must be designed in such a way that if necessary they can accommodate all of the vertical circulation. The effective width of the stairs and landings in essential staircases must be a minimum of 1.50 m and should not exceed 2.50 m. Doors must not constrict the useful width of the landings and, in accordance with hospital regulations, doors to the staircases must open in the direction of escape. Staircases are provided with polished steel handrail on one side.

SERVICE YARD
Hospital logistics should be centred in one place. A service yard, conveniently situated in a low-level supplies and disposal area, makes this possible. The supply and disposal of all hospital goods and materials is conducted via ramp, segregated from the main and emergency entrances. In addition, service yard auxiliary rooms house emergency electricity generators, the sprinkler control room, the oxygen distribution system, and other services. All the services were placed in Basement I and Basement II.

DOORS
When designing doors the hygiene requirements should be considered. The surface coating must withstand the long-term action of cleaning agents and disinfectants, and they must be designed to prevent the transmission of sound, odours and draughts. Doors must meet the same standard of noise insulation as the walls surrounding them.
