A central circulation spine organizes the hospital's shared functions between the small and large animal sides in the above hospital floor plan. Well-organized designs integrate the hospital and site plans into a cohesive overall design that promotes efficiency, safety, and bio-security. It may be difficult to predict what will work for your site and your Hospital Floor Plan, but it is often possible to see mistakes before they occur. Stop and rethink what you are doing if you see crossing circulation paths—spending time in the early stages to develop a great plan, as the right design lays the groundwork for a good and efficient hospital.
