In an effort to obtain adequate segregation of personnel with respect to level and function, two basic types of semi-permanent living quarters were developed. The larger of the two, designated the 36-man quarters, was designed to provide for a normal capacity of 36 persons, four men to each room. In some instances, these buildings, by the use of double tier bunks, would have to accommodate as many as 72 people. The toilet facilities, although possibly generous for a normal capacity of 36 people, were proportioned to provide the practical minimum for 72 persons, The smaller of the two basic semi-permanent living quarters was designed and intended for the use of scientists and other key personnel. The plan layout of these buildings was essentially the same as that of the larger quarters, but the buildings were planned for a normal capacity of 18 men per building, two men to each room. In some instances, it was assumed the rooms would be utilized as single rooms. These buildings presented no particular design problems, as the prefabricated building was well suited to this use. However, after the erection and occupancy of some of these and other buildings, it developed that the original conception of providing vented panels equal to two thirds of the total wall area was excessive and admitted driving rain into the buildings. To remedy this situation, later buildings were constructed with the lower panels stationary or the vented panels left normally closed. In addition, where required because of driving rain or spindrift, triangular filler panels were provided at the ends of each bank of vented shutters, and the spaces between individual shutters were closed with filler panels to form a continuous canopy with closed ends, The infirmary and male nurses! quarters were provided in two separate aluminum buildings arranged to form an L and connected by an aluminum canopy which ran the full length of the south wall of the infirmary wing. This building, which formed the stem of the L, was designed to provide facilities for X-ray, diathermy, and surgery, along with a doctor's office, treatment room, labs, kitchen, and small ward, The nurses! quarters provided living space for the doctors and nurses as well as a dentist's office. Both buildings were equipped with plastic inseet screens, The laboratory, kitchen, and surgery supply rooms of the infirmary were all aluminum equipped, except for counter tops and cabinets, which had baked enamel finish, After a lengthy investigation of the relative merits of wood, steel, and aluminum cabinets, baked enamel cabinets were chosen on the basis of economy, availability, and ease of cleaning. Post office and post exchange facilities were housed in a single standard aluminum building approximately 104 feet long. Its area was divided to include the post office, post exchange, barber shop, and a snack bar, Since the building was used without particular modification, planning of space and the design of the necessary case work were the main issues. Case work required extensive detailing, but because it 5-109
