S. Energy Research & Development Administration Nevada Operations Office P, O. Box 14100 Las Vegas, Nevada 89114 BIKINI DISPENSARY PLAN SUGGES TIONS Dear Mr. Ray: These suggestions are more or less general and I would direct them to D :nnis McBreen who requested any suggestions. . One of the main thoughts I had about the building plan would be the separation of the aide's quarters from the main building by a breezeway to minimize traffic inthe dispensary area. The hallway should be double wide to permit wheelchairs and also serve as a secondary waiting room. I thought Dutch doors would be reasonable to control traffic without stopping the breeze. Ramps in the building would be preferred to steps. I also feel that the wards could be at the far end of the building, away from the traffic. The visitors might then have an area where they could visit with thc patients from outside without coming through the building. There might be no office area as such. There should be at least one shower connected to the ward area as well as a bathroom. One examining room should have a bathroom and possibly another bathroom that opens into a hall and the outside toilet facilities for the public. A large storage area would be important, one for records x-rays, supplies near the door and entry. Ultimately, a portable x-ray unit would be in the building (very likely in the next few years). One laboratory facility could be part of that same room. Two refrigerators could be used in the dispensary. One in the work area, a small one, and then a larger one in the storage area where x-ray film, drugs, injectables could be stored. [ thought the sinks could be stainless steel. They should have a high swing spout and there should be one in each examining room and one in each toilet area. Pe Gd
