Room 3.—Room 3 is a small dressing room for children being
prepared for examination by the Orthopædic Surgeon in Room 2
or by the Medical Officer in Room 4. It has doors opening into
both of these rooms.
Room 4.—The end room on the south side is the doctors'
consulting room, in which the School Medical Officers see
children referred for advice by Head Teachers at the request of
parents.
Room 5.—The end room on the north side of the corridor is
the dentist's operating room, which has a large bay window with
glass roof, giving exceptionally good natural lighting (north).
Room 6.—Opening out of the dentist's operating room is the
recovery room, fitted with ample mouth-washing facilities, a
water-closet, and a folding couch for any child requiring rest in
the recumbent position.
Room 7.—Room 7 is the treatment room, of the same size,
shape and lighting as the dental room. It also opens into the
recovery room, so that it could be adapted and equipped if
required as a second dental room.
Rooms 8 & 9.—Room 8 is the doctors' and dentist's retiring
room and Room 9 is the school nurses' room. Each of these has
a lavatory and water-closet.
All cupboard accommodation required is provided in the
dividing walls between rooms, thus reducing the need for movable
furniture, which restricts working space.
Equipment.—The equipment throughout has been designed
with a view to providing the most efficient, up-to-date and
economical service in all departments of the work.
Floors.—The flooring throughout is buff magnesite on
concrete, except in the orthopædic room, where cork is used for
warmth, softness and insulation.
Walls.—In the main hall and corridor there is a 4ft. 6in.
dado of blue magnesite. Elsewhere the plastered walls have
been left to dry out thoroughly before being painted.
