Contact Information: Joseph Corliss 12300 Twinbrook Parkway Suite 610 Rockville, MD 20852 (301) 443-4205 jcorliss@hqe.ihs.gov Activity: Architectural Keyword: Lockers / Break Area CSO No.:N/A – Planning Criteria Background: There are no staff locker / break areas in many of the large medical and dental departments at ANMC. Lessons Learned: In a large Health Center / Hospital, location of the staff lockers is important. A central staff locker / break area may be on the other side of the building, far away from the staff entrance to the department and may be impractical to access and use. This was the case for the Dental Department at the ANMC. Recommended Action: Make a practical analysis of the location and efficacy of central staff locker / break area rooms vs. locating the locker / break area within the department.
