Description The Secondary Console room is a small, wooden-paneled compartment that is hard-coded into the Tardis' Block Matrix Equations as a Safe Room, containing only the essential systems needed to operate the Tardis and to preserve the lives of the crew and passengers. The room is linked to the Pedestrian Infrastructure between 2.4 and 4.8 miles from the Primary Console Room via a dimensional junction.

At the center of the Secondary Console Room is a small control console, also wooden, with the essential controls hidden behind four of the six door flaps. Underside flaps conceal the circuit breakers for the Tardis' main systems. A small storage locker is built into the console's plinth and contains a spare tool kit. Overhead is the collector that recycles unused Artron energy and can be used to irradiate a crew member undergoing regeneration.

A Scanner with wooden shutters occupies the center of one wall where it can be viewed by the operator at the Secondary Console Navigation panel. A food machine and a first aid kit is set in the wall opposite of the main entrance.

Side doors allow access to the service passageway surrounding the room, including ladders for the upper and lower mezzanine as well as additional storage lockers for rescue and repair.

Underneath the console in the lower mezzanine are six emergency power cells - these are used when the Artron energy has been depleted in order to maintain and control the Secondary Console Room should the situation require the compartment be ejected as a lifeboat. 

As the Tardis can grow internally to the size of a small city, it will create more Secondary Console Rooms to act as control relays, ensuring that a console is available to the flight crew every 2.4 to 4.8 miles. These rooms can be replaced or supplemented by archived primary console rooms.

The structure of the Secondary Console Room is a hexagonal prism mounted inside a hexagonal bi-frustum girded by three vertical rings offset at 60° and bisected by a single horizontal ring. If left on a surface of a planet with sufficient energy, the framework will eventually grow and can be shaped into a new Tardis in one to two hundred years.

hay there, i've just managed to upload a couple of my designs, 
in the  'my gallery' section of my account at: 

markysparkyboy101.deviantart.c…

feel free to take a look, and leeve some coments ideas etc 
i'll try to add more as soon as i finish them... takes a while in bitmap! 

i uploaded them in png format, so anyone can save them, modify them 
if they want, i found if you design in bitmap, save as png, it allows you 
to 'edit' the image after saving, in bitmap again... unlike jpeg 
which pixalates the image after you save it!

beautifully done design, 'are those shock absorbers on the sides?' 
i'd love love to see more designs like this one... 
maybe the 8th doctors consoleroom inside the proto sphere kind of thing! 

i'm still designing my peter-cushing secondary consoleroom re-design, in bitmap. 
so it only looks 2d like your cross-section, but it's looking good, 
once finished i'll try to post it here on deviantart. 

once again best pic i've seen since your proto sphere design

Thanks! Yes, shock absorbers on the sides of the internal room to brace it for impact should it be ejected as a life pod.

There's not enough layouts really, so I'm beginning to make them. And I do like the 8th Doctor's Console Room.

I hope to see your Peter Cushing console room soon!

The buffers surrounding the room make me think of the testing chambers in Portal. Not a bad thing, just an observation.

You're right! They do! But I thought this shape would be better than plain massive spring coils.
