WORK BEGUN
QUEEN MARY HOSPITAL ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS Work has now begun on the preliminary excavations for the additions to the Queen Mary Maternity Hospital for which the tender of the Love Construction Company was accepted by the Otago Hospital Hoard in October. The excavations for the foundations are being carried out between the Nurses’ Home and the existing Queen Mary building. Work nas been in progress for the past week. The completion of the additions to the maternity hospital is expected to take about two years. The north wing on the existing ground floor is to be remodelled to provide, among other things, a gynaecological department and a laboratory, consulting rooms, and examination rooms. The south wing will also be altered. Additional accommodation is to be provided on the first floor for 19 patients, and the nursery will be doubled to provide for 45 cots in the two rooms. On the second floor of. the north wing, staff quarters will be provided, and on the same floor of the south wing there will be equipment rooms and stairs giving access to a flat concrete roof which may be used by patients. This roof will overlook the bowling green.
