Example Building Schematic Design
731
INTENT
The building schematic design is intended to demonstrate the application
of the Prototype Design to the design of a complete hospital based on
current VA needs and space requirements expressed in an updated
master hospital plan (program) for Wood, Wisconsin.
For convenience, the existing Wood site and associated characteristics in
terms of access, topography, relation to existing facilities have also been
assumed for the purposes of the example. There is one exception, the
location of the site has been hypothetically changed from Wood,
Wisconsin to the San Francisco Bay area in order to facilitate the cost
studies discussed in Section 760.
It must be emphasized that the selection of the Wood, Wisconsin, site
does not imply any criticism of the existing VA facilities there which, in
many ways, are eminently satisfactory.
