Part 3 Problem 04: Access points are listed as 1"x2.25" in the Design Guide, however, in our scaled-up version to real-life dimensions, an access point in internal hospital renderings is roughly 6ftx13.5ft. Do the access points from the structural requirements have to be maintained in the architectural rendering? For example: when completing the renderings and internal operation of the hospital, do we need to provide hallways/doorways to match the size and location of our access points (eg. 6ftx13.5ft) , or do hallways/doorways in the rendering need to match the location only of our access points?

Question

Accepted Answer

Your structural configuration should be taken into consideration when completing this part of the architectural deliverable. For example, you should consider where columns
and braces are located in the floor plan and where your access points are located. However, the dimensions of your access points in the real structure may be adjusted to accommodate the functionality and architectural interests of the hospital. Strict adherence to dimensions of your balsa wood structure is not required.
