Briefing

Description

The Airlock, 6m2 is a transitional space, typically associated with an entry area or waiting/reception area, which provides wind/weather protection and supports efficient temperature regulation within the building. Final configuration of the airlock will be dependent on site, internal layout and access requirements.

Hours of Operation

Up to 24 hours (dependent on unit operating hours)

Occupancy

accessed intermittently;

Additional Considerations

~ The Airlock is intended to be used by a wide range of people including fully ambulant people, persons using a wide range of walking aids and persons in wheelchairs. ~ Additional area and a layout with a relatively straight path of travel is required if the movement of beds/trolleys is to be supported. ~ Additional area to accommodate door movement and circulation will be required if entry from multiple directions provided. ~ Extent of glazing to entry doors and airlock walls to be confirmed at project level to suit façade requirements and visual access from nearby reception or security areas. Wall materials shown are indicative and will be dependent on facade design and internal layout. ~ Motorisation of doors to be confirmed by project team to suit access requirements. ~ Access control may require the provision of swipe card readers, keypads, intercoms, push to open buttons (e.g. to exit after hours), door release buttons from nearby security or reception, etc. Provision of these items will depend on security requirements and operational policies (e.g. for after-hours access). Lockdown and emergency egress requirements must also be considered. A hold open function to the internal door will also typically be required for cleaning. ~ Flooring in the Airlock typically supports the capture of dirt and moisture at the building entry to reduce cleaning requirements. Floor finishes are to be specified/detailed to reduce the risk of trips, slips and falls, (e.g. minimise changes in finished height at transitions). Drainage requirements to floor matting must be considered. ~ Depending on layout and alignment of openings when the doors are open, an air curtain may be required to prevent the entry of draughts, insects, odours, etc. ~ At public/patient entries, the provision of culturally appropriate artwork (e.g. with film on glazing) may be considered to create a welcoming atmosphere. ~ Hand hygiene facilities, such as alcohol-based hand rub, should be provided nearby upon entry in line with local infection prevention and control (IPC) policies. It is not recommended that these items are provided within the airlock so the need for users to stop within the airlock is avoided and the path of travel is kept clear. ~ A small amount of concise signage may be required within the airlock. However, it is recommended that extensive wayfinding information is made readily accessible upon entry so the need for users to stop within the airlock is avoided and the path of travel is kept clear.
