ventilated

The Wards are lighted and ventilated by windows placed in the opposite side of the Room and by large window at one end, the opposite end having a door communicating with the Verandah. The windows are in all cases shaded from the direct action of the sun by wide verandahs.

The Area and height of the Wards are such that a space of about 2000 cubic feet is provided for each Patient.

Access to every part of the Building is provided by the centre and by a large Corridor, which connects together the various parts of the building at each end, and by a smaller Staircase.

The Operating Theatre is made accessible from the Corridor on the Middle floor, but Students and other witnesses to operations can gain access to the seats on the Upper floor as well as the centre floor, with the use of the Staircase. There are Retiring Rooms and Lavatory, Provision is made for an ample supply of water.

It is proposed to construct the Building with Walls of Granite having Concrete foundations if necessary. It is considered that as the object of verandahs is to prevent the direct action of the sun upon the Walls of the Wards, it will be advisable to include the Verandah space in the main structure and by this means more effectually exclude the heat than by means of light metal verandahs outside of the main walls.

It is proposed that the floors of the building should be constructed of wrought iron rolled joists filled in with concrete; and the floors themselves can be finished with cement, asphalt, or wood as may be considered most desirable.

The walls of each Ward should be plain so as to admit of being painted.

The roof should be constructed as far as possible of wrought iron covered with stucco or slates.

It is proposed to leave a space between the ceiling of the Upper Wards and the Roof in order to secure a thorough current of air above, which tends to keep down the temperature.
