SECTION 3 - FUNCTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION
A Functional Area (FA) is the grouping of rooms and spaces based on their function within a clinical service.
The organization of services in this Guide follows the categories established in VA Space Planning Criteria,
Chapter: 226 – Electroencephalography Laboratory.
This clinical service is organized in five Functional Areas:
FA 1:
FA 2:
FA 3:
FA 4:
FA 5:
Reception Area
Patient Area
Support Area: Patient Care
Staff and Administrative Area
Education Area
Electroencephalography Laboratory includes two key exam functions – one for electroencephalography (EEG)
testing and one for electromyogram (EMG) testing.
The Functional Diagram in this section and Guide Plates, Reflected Ceiling Plans and Room Data Sheets in
Section Four, show function, flow, organization, equipment, utilities and operational concepts. They should
not be interpreted as preconceived floor plans, as the diagrams do not correlate exactly to all the rooms and
functions available in Space Planning Criteria, nor to those which may be required or authorized for individual
projects.
