The Philippine Information Agency (PIA) features WTA and the EQF Team for their efforts in donating and constructing two EQFs in the AFP Medical Center. 

 

PASIG CITY, April 23 (PIA) – The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) received two Emergency Quarantine Facilities (EQF) from a team of architects on Wednesday at the AFP Medical Center, V. Luna in Quezon City.

AFP Deputy Chief Engineer Colonel Arnfin Arce led the ceremonial turnover and blessing of the facilities situated inside the AFP Health Service Command.

According to the AFP, the EQF is a construction project designed and led by Architect William Ti, Jr. of WTA Architecture + Design Studio with other architects and industry experts. It is designed for hospitals and institutions that are at maximum capacity to provide additional space for patients who need to be quarantined.

Currently, the EQF Team is collectively pushing to build a total of 62 EQFs within and outside Metro Manila.

The two EQFs located at the V. Luna General Hospital were made possible through the funding of SM Foundation and Tayô, Táyo! Fundraiser (STCQC), with Mr. Wilfredo S. Pico and Peta Bena of Metalink Team leading the construction site.

WTA constructs EQF and makes designs available online by Round City

Emergency Quarantine Facility (EQF) at the Manila Naval Hospital, Quezon City

WTA Architecture + Design Studio has created emergency medical structures to aid hospitals in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Manila-based WTA Architecture + Design Studio has recently built emergency quarantine facilities to help hospitals in the Philippines deal with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The temporary structures are being built to house persons under investigation (PUIs) and prevent them from spreading the infection. WTA, which made the designs open source, is pushing to build 62 emergency structures. At the moment, it has completed 15, and another 32 are under construction.

The facilities are intended to increase capacities of hospitals and institutions in the Philippines, and feature simple designs that can be constructed within five days, assuming the materials are readily available.

Each structure is six by 26 metres and features 15 beds and two toilets. Patients and healthcare workers have separate entrances, while doctors have their own external testing box to check patients without having to enter the facility completely. According to the architects, airflow is directed from front to rear, with side vents that discharge air away from the beds to prevent re-circulation.

With 62 emergency quarantine facilities, WTA is providing 1,000 new beds. The studio has made the designs open source, and they are available online through this link.
