Enterprise 1701-Refit Briefing Room?

[Firebird]

Actually the corridors were given a royal red carpet for their TVH/Enterprise-A appearance. And the intermix chamber was given new green lighting. These can be seen on the Good Morning America set tour.

I kinda doubt the new carpet was for TVH - there were never any scenes written for the Enterprise sets in the movie, but for the bridge, even as early as the December, 1985 first draft. The production designer wouldn't have put money into redressing sets that weren't going to be used, simply not cost-effective. That green lighting in the engine core looks to just be a simple lighting effect without the swirling patterns from the vertical intermix chamber - it might've always looked that way, we just never saw the horizontal core lit by itself on screen.

EDIT: here's some shots of the Enterprise corridor from Roddenberry's intro for The Cage. As you can see, there are no carpets anywhere to be seen. I'm thinking those red carpets were put in for the set tour to minimize the sound of footfalls so they wouldn't have to go back and ADR the video piece.

I think you're right. You can definitely hear their footsteps when they step into the uncarpeted engineering at 2:25.

Examination Room (where Peter Preston dies in TWOK) - redressed as a portion of the Bird of Prey for the scene where Bones speaks to an unconscious Spock on the way to Vulcan.

Pretty sure it was actually McCoy's office that was used as the BOP sickbay, not the EOR.

I do believe you're right! Here's a shot of Gene standing in McCoy's office, with a patient bed where the CMO's desk should be: http://tos.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/0x01/thecgaeintro01_044.jpg

Yep, because you can see the side passageway with the "Andromeda Strain" pods in the background, which were visible from McCoy's office.

It's amazing how under-used some of those extended sickbay sets were in the Trek movies.

Well, the sets were built with a TV series in mind, not movies, so they often didn't have any function in the scripts.

Were those sickbay sets all the way back to the Phase 2 construction? I didn't know that.

All the basic Enterprise sets you saw in the first 3 movies were built for the TV show. Bridge, sickbay, transporter, cabin and Engineering.

It's a shame that, due to the format, we never got to see stuff like the little dining booth in the crew quarters. A huge amount of thought went into those sets (see: Enterprise Flight Manual created so actors would push the right buttons)
