on the hospital since its ground-

has been steady, and Albert
Kahn Associated Architects and
Engineers, designers of the new
community institution, with Dr.
J. J. Golub as consultant, feel
that the facilities will be ready
for use early in 1953.
The hospital site, bordered by
Outer Drive, Whitcomb, Lauder
and McNichols Road, covers 34
acres.
The large tract made possible
the design of the hospital as a
"pavilion-type," rather than the
vertical, multiple story type, the
architects pointed out. The pa-
;carillon, or horizontal plan, was
Selected because it takes best
advantage Of the land, reduces
the number of elevators, an ex-
pensive element in the building,
and because it allows for seg-
regation of related functions
within the four wings making up
the present plan.
Under the leadership of Max
Osnos, president, the Jewish
Hospital Association, sponsor of
Sihai Hospital, has aimed to-
ward achieving an institution
that will embody the most re-
cent accepted techniques in hos-
pital care, -both in nursing and
administration. Sinai has been
designed as a general hospital
and will have beds for 200 pa-
tients.
Flexibility was a chief aim of
the architects and trustees. To
make sure that the capacity
may be enlarged economically,
central services, such as the
boiler room and kitchens, were
sized and placed so that they
will be as adequate for an addi-
tional 100 beds.
In the same way, the archi-
a
tects point out, the radiology,
diagnostic and therapy depart-
ments are located on the first
' floor of the center wing, where
they nay easily be utilized if an
outpatient clinic is some day
constructed.
Planned is a gallery In one of
the three delivery rooms for in-
struction and for viewing oper-
ations. A necropsy department
has been provided for on the
ground floor of one • of the
wings, and the present building
will also include a museum with
specimens and slides for train-.
ing purpose.
