The excavating alone, which is, contracted for by Snyder and Son of' Ann Arbor, will take from six weeks' to two months and will require the1 removal of 25,000 cubic yards of earth., Buildings To Be Connected 1 The hospital will consist of three connected buildings, the .administra- tion building in front, then the main hospital in the middle with a building devoted to sepcial purposes such as laboratories, operating rooms, etc., in the rear. The entire structure will be of re-enforced concrete construction, faced with brick.' Facing on Ann street, the hospital will cross Observatory street, shut- ting it off, and it is planned to have the entrance to the administrationj building face directly down Observa- tory street. The Administration building is toj be 150 feet long, the main hospital, which is a building with two wings, forming V's, at each end, 420 feet long and the rear building 256 feet.r Some comparative idea of the size may be obtained when it is realized that the rear building is 10 feet longer than the greatest length of the Nat- ural Science building. Accommodations for 600 The hospit 1 proper will be six stories in height, but it is so construct- ed that it will be possible to add to it, and it is hoped at some future time to double its size and capacity. Pres- ent plans call for a hospital which will accommodate 600 patients. The equipment will be complete and modern in every .detail. X-ray, diag- nosis and research work of every type will be special features. As yet. con- tracts have not been let for the con- crete . and brick work, but advertise- ments for bids will appear, in the near future.
