Here's some text from KORI Architecture Office:
G Clinic 7F
After G clinic 8F was open, a doctor expanded floor space to 7th floor only for male hair restoration medical treatment because number of male patients increased more than a doctor expected.

As for hair restoration medical treatment, the time doctor spends with a patient is short. So there are many patients who are waiting for consulting and accounting. The voids on MDF(t=15mm) panels are arranged as to control meeting of eyes of patients and staff.
