Perhaps the first thing one
thinks of is, how many beds are
there actually? Well, looking at
the pjans, the best way to find
out is to start right in at the
main entrance, opening into the
lobby and waiting room, and to
the left are the General offices,

Coming back to:where we
entered from the main lobby,
we go straight ahead down the
corridor, to what will be the
Maternity Section. ‘There is ‘&
floor kitchen here with “dumb

in the basement and a conveyor
for heated food trays. Continu-
ing, on the right, are two wards
of 2-beds each, a utility room
and two more 2-bed wards. Hav-
ing now come to the end of the
corridor, we find the. nursery,
with space for eight bassinets.
Then coming back down the cor-

;|vidor there is a work area, a

small nursery section with two
bassinets, the labour room and
formula room, and all the next
section is taken up with the
central sterilizing room, delivery
room, clean-up rooms and all

those mvsterious places that are

rooms. Between this corridor,
and the main office are the
Radiology and X-ray rooms and
the Laboratory and dark rooms,
Next to the General office is the
Administrater’s, Library and
Board room. We have now com-
pleted our tour of the main
floor, and going back to the
Medical and Surgical. corridor we
can go down the stairs te the
‘basement floor, There is no base-
ment under the Medical and
Surgical Corridor section, this is
strictly a one storey wing. Under

Boiler rooms and fuel storage
are also down stairs in this sec-

Coming back up to the first
floor, we found that there were

the -bassinets in the nursery sec-
tion. Some of the wards, for in-
stance the isolation wards, could
easily be to

for ‘storage until .needed.
While on the subject of
heating, it is-interesting to note
the plans and specifications call
for double glazing throughout.
This allows ventilation without
direct draft and also serves as
storm windows in the winter.
Heating will be of the type
where Neat is projected into the

date an extra bed if the need
arose,

Speaking on the need for
expansion at some later date, the
building has been designed and
is structurally planned to have a
second storey added when the
time comes. This is by far the
most economical meuns of ex-
panding, as the most costly part
of the building is the

rooms

around the room, rather than
having the hot air grilles placed
here and there. This should make
tor even heating throughout the
entire ward.

It is a pleasing thought that
all exposures of the building will
provide a fine view, and especi-
ally the portion of the building
in which the wards are situated.
