Design Criteria for Shipboard Medical Spaces, September 1975.

Abstract

The Design Criteria for Shipboard Medical Spaces, September 1975, present in drawings and text the functional design requirements of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery for the following types of shipboard medical spaces: (1) quiet room, (2) laundry, (3) bacteriological laboratory and pharmacy (combined), and (4) utility room. The technical report takes into account the existing equipment limitations and shipboard constraints. Using the present state-of-the-art as a baseline, an outline of an R and D program will be developed. Accomplishment of such a program is expected to reduce or to eliminate, in future ships, the effects of the existing equipment limitations and shipboard constraints. This R and D program will be developed as the design criteria are worked out and will be incorporated in the final report. Additionally, these design criteria are intended to assist the Naval Sea Systems Command in designing and building shipboard medical spaces which will most efficiently and economically accomplish their purpose.
