jonwil Posted February 28, 2012 Here are some pictures of what I have built so far: http://www.cncmods.net/files/hospital1.JPG http://www.cncmods.net/files/hospital2.JPG http://www.cncmods.net/files/hospital3.JPG http://www.cncmods.net/files/hospital4.JPG Looking at the overview image, the ambulance bay is off to one side with the ambulance entrance just visible at the bottom of the picture (you can just see the red window frames) The small item at the bottom is the elevator Next to the elevator is the trauma room and on the other side in the small space will be something I haven't yet decided on (maybe shelves full of medical gear?) The space next to the trauma room is where the normal ER beds will go. In the space near the main doors will be the waiting area where people wait to be seen and facing the main doors and in front of the large support column will be the admin/admit desk. On the second floor will be a large OR for my Series 6 surgeons to perform operations in, a radiology room (CT scanner/X-Ray/etc), main ward and doctors lounge. On the third floor (which will only cover part of the structure) there will be a plant room (backup generator etc) and a med lab for doing testing with a helipad taking up the rest of the second floor roof. I will be using white for the walls and windows with a bunch of tan to be used because I dont have enough white for the job. Roof/floor colors will be whatever color I have enough parts in (first floor roof is already build and is part black and part light bley). Wish the 8 x 16 and 16 x 16 plates were easier to obtain :( I do plan to build an ambulance and most likely a helicopter to go with this hospital. Anyone with feedback on this, please feel free to let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted February 28, 2012 Not bad so far 'jonwil', your problem with the ceiling is quite simple.....white plates to fit between the walls and the next floor are plates on top of those ceiling ones. I look forward to your progress.....Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackJonespaw Posted February 28, 2012 Very nice! This is quite an expedition you are embarking on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted March 2, 2012 The structure is now pretty much finished, now I need to do all the detailing and interior. Some more photos: Drug locker (on the ground floor near the elevator) http://www.cncmods.net/files/hospital5.JPG http://www.cncmods.net/files/hospital6.JPG Second floor overview http://www.cncmods.net/files/hospital7.JPG CT scanner (portable x-ray machine will be present in the ER) http://www.cncmods.net/files/hopsital8.JPG Operating Room (with sink to scrub up before operations) http://www.cncmods.net/files/hospital9.JPG Remainder of second floor http://www.cncmods.net/files/hospital10.JPG The room next to the elevator is the office of the hospital administrator The 2 big areas are the main wards (some beds of which will be ICU beds) Top level http://www.cncmods.net/files/hospital11.JPG Top floor interior http://www.cncmods.net/files/hospital12.JPG The area at the bottom is the medical lab The small area is the medical stores The large area at the top is the plant room (which will feature the backup generator for the hospital and the hospital waste incinerator) Helipad http://www.cncmods.net/files/hospital13.JPG Any comments (or suggestions of what equipment/detailing/etc should go into the various rooms) would be appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted March 2, 2012 Looking good 'jonwil', I see though there is still a long way to go....so keep going and Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EM4CZ Posted March 2, 2012 At the heliport would be larger elevator, if there are going to the emergency room with a stretcher. In a standard elevator in the hospital must enter a hospital bed with a patient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) yeah I know the elevator should be larger but I ran out of room in the lower floors to make it any bigger :) Just pretend that its actually large enough to take the patient from the helipad to the ER :) Edited March 2, 2012 by jonwil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EM4CZ Posted March 2, 2012 second option is to relocate the helipad on the ground and build another room Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
medib Posted March 2, 2012 So far so good. In my opinion, either move the elevator over near the rest of the top floor (giving you more room for manouverabilty for those air ambulances) or move the helipad to the ground... or do both.... or do neither, its yours afterall.

gotoAndLego Posted March 2, 2012 Having walls around a helipad is a really bad idea. Put it on the roof.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EM4CZ Posted March 2, 2012 your helipad is too small for EMS Helicopter from australian regulations for hospitals http://www.capital.dhs.vic.gov.au/page.aspx?ID=340 the primary characteristics of hospital helipads. -------------------------------------------------- Landing and Lift-Off Area (LLA) Final Approach and Take-Off Area (FATO) The specific marking for helipads at hospital sites is a red H on a white background. emergency Helipad in USA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woolie Posted March 2, 2012 When my desk was at a different window, it looked out over the helipad of a major trauma hospital. The helicopters would come and go all day long. As in your design, the helipad is on the roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricecracker Posted March 2, 2012 your helipad is too small for EMS Helicopter There's no need to be rude. Constructive criticism is welcomed, but if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it. That applies to everything, not just this topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindicare Posted March 3, 2012 You certainly have a great start. It looks like you're going for realism and accuracy, you really should rethink the elevator. It looks great with all the rooms and everything, but the elevator is a vital part of the hospital. Nobody would be able to get to the OR if they can't get the gurney in there. Evrything else is looking really good. I look forward to seeing this monster in it's final beauty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted March 3, 2012 Thanks for all the great comments. The only reason I didn't make the elevator larger is that I didn't have the room to do it. And I wont be moving the elevator either because I dont have the room to do that either. As for the helipad, I intend to re-do that with a red H (smaller than the current yellow H) and white cross like in all the photos I see on Google. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickBox Posted March 3, 2012 I would be interested in an outside shot of the whole building. Will it be just plain walls or are you planning on doing some more 'elaborate' facade and exterior details? Looking forward to all the apparatus and furniture you'll come up with!
