ABSTRACT

Purpose: Clinical laboratory of hospital has been demanded to extension or relocation regardingwith the test number increase and analyzer development. Space area criteria per test numbers, labfunctions, hospital bed and lab staffs are needed for draft space programing. So, the purpose ofthis study is to provide the space area guideline of clinical laboratory for space calculation inplanning and design the spatial environment. Methods: Literature review has been used in checkingthe standards and guidelines. And questionnaire surveys to laboratory supervisors in hospitals havebeen conducted for the data collection. 60 answers have been analysed statistically by MS Excelprogram. Results: The result of this study can be summarized into three way calculations. The firstone shows that the basic standard workspace and distance is applied in lab design. The second oneshows that average space area criteria resulted from case studies is applied by 19㎡ per one staff,0.9~1.0㎡ per one bed, and lastly linear length calculation of workbenches and analyzers on thebench top and floor mount, is multiplying it by the sum of the counter depth plus aisle width. Implications: In updating the space area calculation guidelines, it is necessary to cooperate withmedical staffs and designers.
