Waiting Area

The waiting area icon represents a designated space where patients or visitors wait for their appointment, treatment, or service. This icon is commonly used in healthcare settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and medical offices, to indicate areas where people wait for medical attention. The waiting area icon has become a recognizable symbol in healthcare environments.

In real-world applications, the waiting area icon appears in hospital directories, clinic websites, and medical office signage. It can also be found in wayfinding systems, helping patients and visitors navigate healthcare facilities.

From a UX perspective, the waiting area icon communicates a sense of anticipation and pause, helping users understand that they need to wait for a service or appointment. The icon's presence can also convey a sense of comfort and relaxation in the waiting space.

Waiting Area is one of 144 icons in Medical Icons, made by Samuel Frémondière and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 64 × 64 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds WaitingAreaIcon to components/icons/medical-icon-waiting-area.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed WaitingAreaIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Waiting Area icon, or any of 144 Medical Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 64 × 64 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Waiting Area", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. WaitingAreaIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <WaitingAreaIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Medical Icons, Samuel Frémondière and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are healthcare, office, space, hospital, clinic and waiting. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Waiting Area in another set.
