A Seclusion Room provides for the sole confinement of a distressed or agitated person requiring separation for short periods at any hour of the day or night on an involuntary basis. The Seclusion Room will be observable from the Staff Station. An external outlook is desirable. All glazing (including external windows) must comply to relevant safety standard.
Acoustics: Sound attenuation level high; Acoustic privacy is required
Additional Design Considerations:
- An internal observation window is required
- A second room egress door is required
