Free hospital and clinic CAD block pack

What's in the medical pack

The pack covers the clinical and front-of-house furniture a healthcare space repeats. Wards and bays: a patient bed drawn in plan and elevation for bed-bay and ward layouts. Treatment: a dental/examination chair for the surgery and clinic room. Front of house: reception and waiting furniture for the patient arrival and wait. Scale figures to test the clinical working space and the patient and staff access.

Because the patient bed ships an elevation and a top view, you can both lay out the bed bay in plan and set out the bed and over-bed services in elevation. The dental chair is drawn so you can position the operator and assistant zones around it. The reception and waiting blocks reuse the front-of-house furniture every clinic needs.

Healthcare dimensions to design around

Keep these ranges close. Patient bed: roughly 900–1050 mm wide and 2000–2300 mm long including the headboard; allow clinical access of about 1000–1100 mm on each side and at the foot for staff, equipment and a hoist — this all-round access is what governs the bed bay, not the bed alone. Bed-to-bed spacing in a multi-bed bay is set by that access plus any bedside furniture.

Examination/dental chair: allow the operator and, for dentistry, the assistant working positions around the patient's head, plus space for the cabinetry and the patient to get in and out. Reception and waiting: a counter face around 1100 mm with a staff worktop at 720–750 mm, and roughly 1.2–1.5 m² per waiting seat including access for patients who may use mobility aids. Drop the scaled blocks in and these clinical zones become things you draw.

How to use the set

In a ward or bay, place the patient bed against its headwall, then draw the clinical access zone — both sides and the foot — before you space the next bed. That access, plus the bedside furniture, sets the bay dimension. In a consulting or treatment room, place the couch or dental chair and draw the clinician (and assistant) working positions and the patient entry route around it.

For the front of house, set the reception counter on the arrival sightline with an accessible lowered section, and lay the waiting seating with generous access for mobility aids and a clear route to the consulting rooms. Use the scale figures to prove the clinical clearances and the patient access. Keep clinical furniture, support furniture, reception and waiting on separate layers so each room issues as a clean plan from one coordinated drawing.

Plan for clearances, elevation for services

Healthcare layouts are worked in plan: the bed bay, the clinical access zones, the consulting-room working space and the waiting capacity all read from above, and that is the view a room data sheet and a clearance check need. Array and mirror the beds and chairs in plan to set out a ward or a clinic suite.

Elevation matters more here than in most building types, because the services live on the wall: the patient bed elevation sets out the headboard, the over-bed light and the medical-gas and nurse-call positions; the dental chair elevation sets the operating light and delivery unit; the reception elevation sets the accessible counter. The bed ships an elevation view, so you can build the headwall services drawing from the same scaled block.

Per-item notes

Patient bed (elevation + top view) — the ward workhorse. Lay the bay in plan from the top view, drawing the all-round clinical access, then set out the headwall services from the elevation. Space beds by access plus bedside furniture, not by the bed width alone.

Dental/examination chair — position the operator and assistant zones around the patient's head and leave room for the cabinetry and patient entry. Check the chair reclines into a clear envelope.

Reception and waiting furniture — set the counter on the arrival sightline with a lowered accessible section, and lay waiting seats with extra access for mobility aids.

Human figure (plan) — place it beside the bed and at the chair to prove the clinical working space, and in the waiting area to confirm the access for a patient using an aid.

Who uses the medical pack

Healthcare and interior designers use it to lay out wards, surgeries and clinics to the clinical clearances that access and equipment demand. Architects use it to populate hospital and clinic plans with scaled, believable clinical furniture for feasibility and planning drawings. Medical planners and estates teams use it to test bed bays, consulting-room standards and waiting capacity against a real room area.

Because the blocks are free and licence-clear, the pack suits a single GP or dental surgery or a large hospital department. Pair it with the medical category for more clinical equipment, the office and furniture categories for admin and reception furniture, and the people category for the scale figures that prove the clinical clearances and patient access work at human size from one consistent library.
