Support
Functional Grouping
Figure I-3
SCI Support Facilities should be equally accessible from however many nursing units
are programmed. The movement of food and supplies between the main hospital and
the SCIC should be studied as to the need for a dedicated dock at the SCIC.
Also included in the category of Support are the following spaces:
Wheelchair & Special Bed Storage
Resident Clothing & Luggage Storage (Long Term Units only)
These spaces are less frequently accessed and can be in a remote (but accessible)
location.
Outdoor recreational space should be provided adjacent to the Recreation and Dining
Spaces. The functional possibilities of this outdoor area should be site and climate
specific with consideration given to at least the following:
Picnic/Grille (adjacent to Dining)
Basketball (half court)
Office of Facilities Management
