The 6,567sq ft. 30 bed inpatient isolation unit is located at 301 Mason Lord Drive, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center campus, 3.5 miles from Hampton House. This self-contained dormitory-like unit is staffed by nurses 24 hours a day and is ideally suited for conducting studies with college students and community volunteers. In addition to the examination room, nurses' station, and sleeping areas for volunteers, the unit contains a laboratory area including refrigerator/freezer and HEPA filtered biosafety cabinet, specimen collection and processing, a study recreation area, a lounge, a well-equipped kitchen, a large dining area, and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. Since the unit has a self-contained ventilation system with a HEPA filtered exhaust, the CIR can conduct studies with infectious agents, under conditions of strict isolation or quarantine. A study physician makes rounds daily and is on call 24 hours a day. If necessary, s/he spends the night on the unit to take care of volunteers who are ill. If needed, consultations or medical care are available at Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital. Here is a link to a map of the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center campus.
