German term

Funktionstrakt

German to English Tech/Engineering Architecture Hospital architecture
This term crops up a lot in my text, I believe "Trakt" can mean wing as in hospital wing, but I am not sure how to translate "Funktionstrakt".
"Der zweigeschossige, der Straße zugewandte Funktionstrakt enthält die OP-Säle und Notfalleinrichtungen mit der notwendigen Infrastruktur für Intensivmedizin, der dreigeschossige Bettentrakt liegt zum Park hinaus und ist durch kleine Lichthöfe verbunden."
Any help would be most appreciated.
Proposed translations (English)
2 surgical wing/block
2 dedicated wing

dedicated wing

is I think what they mean, i.e. wing dedicated to certain disciplines
Peer comment(s):
neutral Francis Lee (X) : one of the first options that occured to me, except: it could equally apply to the wards section; e.g. http://www.virtua.org/page.cfm?id=longterm_care_berlin_rehab

of course, was leaving the final interpretation up to the asker
