THE STANFORD HOSPITAL A X IDEAL surgical hospital with l)etter facilities for advauce- inciit of science and for ai mmodation of the public is -% what is aimed at in the new Stanford Hospital, now nearing -L - completion. The hospital is being built l)y the University at a cost of half a million dollars. It becomes the hospital of the University, while old Lane Hospital will continue as a clinic. Bakewell Brown designed the new hospital, which forms a complete surgical unit, with operating rooms and their accessories and wards and private rooms. The Stanford Hospital is being erected by George Wagner, the San Francisco contractor. The new building, situated near the old Lane Hospital in San Francisco, has a T-shaped plan. This gives the greatest amount of air and light jjossible for the lot, and enables placing all service rooms and operating rooms on the north exposure, with wards and jirivate rooms for patients on the south, where they will get the maximum of sunlight. The ground and first floors are practically all devoted to other uses than tliose of patients. On the front wing of the ground floor are the staff ' s olhces and examination rooms. In the reai- of this floor are the X-ray photo- graphic, Zander special exer- cises, and elec- trical rooms for treatment of liaticnts. The internes of the Univer- sity and the su| erinten(l( ' nt have their head- (piarters on the first floor front wing. Here also is an overflow FRONT KLK ATH). UL.L) LANK Hu.sl ' l . ' AI.
