28 THE LIBERAL, lucnmond Hill. Ontano. '1'nursaay, BY MARGARET LADE The 111111 annual meeting of York Cenmnal Hospital Auxiliary at Summth View Restaurant February 14 was one of the biggest and busiest in (the history of the auxiliary. The illustrated description of the Langstai‘f Wing now under construction which will more than triple the ca pacity of 11he hospital bringing it from 126 beds to more mhan 400, graphically demonstrated the revolutio- nary concept of hospital de- sign in the 1970's. Architects and interior designers of the Langstaff Wing of York Central Hospital, Richmond Hill, now nearing completion, are trying to get away from the “institutional” atmosphere one expects to find in hospitals with “color cod- ing” in corridors and patients rooms. Carpet colors â€" red, green, blue â€" will tell the visitor which wing he is in, while white and yellow walls and ceilings and multi-colored drapes will create a brighter atmosphere for the patients. Amhitect Jerzy (George) Malion and Ihas associate, In- terim -D e s i g n e r Sheilagh Fletcher. explained that they were attempting to prodruce an environment that is not institutional, mhat 'is pleasant and stimulating. - A left of time has gone into reseaohimg (the psychological needs and effects of environ- ment on mhe people who work in a hospital as well as on- |tvhe patients.

YOI'lt Central Hospital Addition To Open In Fall completed, [hopefully in Sepâ€" tember, the original building will also undergo a face-lift- ing. Colors will help in iden- tifying various parts of the building, witlh green centre carpet, red in the east wing and blue in the west wing which faces the exisan wing. Striped carpet in the main lobby will bind the three together. ‘ The children’ bedrooms in the east wing will have red' carpets, white walls, yellow ceilings, and colorful drarpes. The new pediatrics department will accommo- date 74 beds. There are now just 12 beds for children. There will also be accom- modatlon for '70 chronically ill patients who, said Malian, need more than clean sheets land a 'backrub, and this is Where the volunteers of the auxiliary can play an impor- tant role, taking mam for an occasional ride, 00 a movie, to play euchre, to give them somedfhing to look forward to other than death. PLAYROOMS In addition to other facili- ties, such as cafe¢eria. sup- ply rooms, laboramries, physiotherapy, emergency, outpatients, there will be vi- siltoms’ lounges, playrooms for the very young dhildtren, for older children, and two extra day-rooms 0r “pads” for adolescent patients. Aux11i-ary President Peggy Temple observed that the presentation showed how much thought has gone into the planning in addition to the original architectural concept which has not chang- ed since the day it was ap- proved, although six years have passed since the archi- tect come on the scene. Hospital Administrator James Hepburn added, “Now you can see why we need a lot more [help in this new rpmjed. boflh paid help and vdl-unrteers."

The size of the expectations of physical and financial de- mands made on the volun- teers of the auxiliary has comtim-ued [to expand. “As the demands increase, you Ihave to keep running, but there have been no groans in We face of these demand," Ms. Jackson said. .TREMEN-DOUS BUILDING From the outside the ad- dition may appear to be still in the early stages of conâ€" struction», she continued, but it is being finished from “the tap floor dvown. "It is a tremendous build- ing, and as the first excite- menm grew we had to face the question, ‘How are we going to fill it with love, staff and services between now and October?’.
