    Calculate the total wall surface area of a square emergency room treatment cubicle that requires sanitization between patients, given the cubicle's side length, to determine cleaning time requirements and patient turnover rates. The calculation should exclude the floor and ceiling surfaces, as these require different cleaning protocols.
