Model Answer
The given diagrams compare the layout of a medical centre in 2008 and 2010. It is manifest from the graph that a lot of changes were made to the medical centre in just two years time.
In 2008, the main entrance which was towards the south, opened into a waiting room. The waiting room opened into a corridor towards the north. There was a reception in the waiting room, behind which there was a staff room, which also opened into the corridor. Towards the right of the waiting room and the southeast corner of the whole building was the laboratory, which also had its access from the waiting room. The treatment room was on the northwest corner of the building, and there were three doctor’s offices along the northern wall of the medical centre, all of which had entrance through the corridor. There was vacant space on the northeast and southwest corner of the building.
In 2010, in the southwest corner a mother and child room, and an education room were made, whereas a store was constructed in the northeast corner. The doctor’s offices were made smaller and instead of three, there were four small doctor’s offices. A pharmacy was also opened just behind the laboratory. This pharmacy opened into the corridor. The laboratory was given another access through the corridor. The rest of the plan was the same as in 2008.
Overall, the medical centre witnessed many additions in a period of two years.
