Officer's Quarters and Med Bay

I apologize if this has already been answered. Is there a diagram or blueprint of the STID Enterprise that shows where the officer's quarters and med bay are located?

Thanks!

We've seen a diagram showing the filming set layout, if I'm not mistaken, but I'm not aware of any deck plans or diagrams showing locations within the ship of those or any other compartments. Nothing official, anyway (though I'm sure some enterprising Trek fans have drawn up plans reflecting their own assumptions and conjecture.)
 
Neither of these are definitive/canon/whatever, but:

The old Experience the Enterprise holographic promotional site put officer and crew quarters on D deck (and gave the crew compliment as 1100), and the medical bay on G deck.

I haven't played the 2013 Star Trek videogame, but in that you get to run around inside the ship quite a bit. Perhaps youtube gameplay videos will be of help. IIRC, at the very start we see that Spock's quarters are on the same deck as the bridge (which on this Enterprise is deck 2, or B if they're using letters)

I believe they use letters, I've noted there's a letter-number combination on the doorframes, where it seems the letter roughly seems to correspond to a likely deck location:

The bridge has an "B" (deck 2), the medbay a "G" (deck 7) and the transporter room an "M" (deck 13); the letter for the airlock Kirk and McCoy use on Nibiru was a "W" (deck 23, which would probably be too high based its location in the secondary hull, the 725m size and a standard Trek deck configuration - but I suppose deck spacing and/or numbering could be different in the dorsal and engineering spaces [the numbering could follow Robert Comsol's deck plan numbering proposal, where the top of the dorasl is engineering deck 1]).
 
I just remembered "Doctor Puri was on deck six, he's dead!" from the '09 movie. It might be that the set designers and writers each had different ideas, though. I think both TOS (which officially used numbers) occasionally snuck a letter in, and the classic movies (which were supposed to use letters) did the opposite once or twice.

Things are a bit crazy in the engineering hull, with massive open areas instead of traditional deck spacings, but the saucer definitely has 16 decks in total, and there are five levels to the warp core section of engineering (aka the NIF target bay)
 
I know it's not cool to cross-post or bump threads, but if you're still out there talfe'anhar, here is my idea of the new Enterprise's layout.
 
Thanks so much King Daniel! That is what I was looking for. It doesn't show where the crew quarters are but it gives a great overall idea of scale and position of key places on the ship.
 
I'm glad it's a help!:) I'd guess the officers quarters were spread around the upper half of the saucer, on decks 3-6. Also, the medbay isn't one room, I see it as extending around the saucer on that deck (the same was supposedly true of the classic Enterprise, even though we only ever saw one ward and one office). You'd need a pretty big hospital to care for 1100 people.

Science labs would take up the lower saucer levels, around that machinery surrounding the dome at the bottom, which I guess are sensor arrays.
