기존병원 중심의 리모델링과 새 병원중심의 리모델링 비교연구 - A 종합병원을 중심으로 -

This study is an analysis of the characteristics between the remodeling of an existing hospital and the remodeling of an existing hospital with the addition of a new annex. The comparison of the two remodeling methods focused on the difference of gross area, circulation system, improvement of hospital function, profitability of remodeling construction, and so on. The result of this study can be summed up as follows. The remodeling of an existing hospital with a new annex has the merit of enlarging new areas, promoting the function of the hospital, changing the inner circulation system, and facilitating the construction. However, it has the demerit of requiring too much money and expanded space for the construction. Therefore, it is possible to use the existing hospital remodeling method for small scale hospitals that do not have many patients, but it would be necessary for big scale hospitals with many patients to adopt the method of remodeling the existing hospital with the addition of an annex.
