. €d on the new CNIB, Some Facts Ahout New C.N.LB. Headquariers Since ground breaking day May 1st, 1954, more than 3,000 men have work- Record build- ing rates made the centre ready for occupation at the end of January. A special Building Fund appeal raised $3,160,000,00 for the erection of this all-purpose rehabilitation centre, Take a good look at the large flat roof of the building directly behind the Main Building. 'The roof was not laid by the regular method, but ac- tually raised'in large slabs by hydrau- lic jacks. By using the hydraulic method on this expansive roof area CNIB saved thousands of dollars. Visitors to the building are unpres- sed with the thought and planning that have gone into the centre. Livery detail from the serving stands in the dining rooms to the telephone calls you can make without going througn the switchboard has been considered from every possible point of view. The fire alarm system is designed to report the slightest flare up. Six different types'of heating are- used. In deciding on this system, manage- ment carefully chose the method most --comfortable and éconodmical for each building, and the number of people concerned. Keeping maintenance costs to the minimum was the keynote in the choice of all materials. No paint will be needed for the exterior. Aluminium window frames will re- tain their natural finish for a cen- tury. Vinyl and Terrazzo floors and glazed walls in pleasing. and varied colours provide a pleasant appearatice while requiring no more up-keep than occasional washing. = Carpeting oc- curs only in the corridors of the resi- dence to add a homelike touch. Lady Kemp, who furnished the Boardroom completely, include a rug as part of her gift. Two switchboards have been in- stalled to handle telephone calls. Bell " Telephone could have set up a one- man board to take care of the entire circuit, but a sightless operator could not easily reach over the board to her neighbour's panel to handle the cross- connections. Since CNIB prefers to create jobs to employ the blind where possible, the two-board system was introduced. It also provides training facilities on two different types of switchboards for placement of blind operators in outside employment. The clock in the wall over the main ent- rance is a replica of a Braille watch. The chimes were donated by the Jr. League. When you stand in this door- way and walk easterly as far as you can go to the end of the building, you will have covered a distance equal to the average length of two city blocks. If you start in the library at the south end and walk through to the recrea- tion wing at the north end, you will cover about one-and-a-half city blocks. When the. cafeteria and stands de- partment occupied a few small rooms at 194 Beverley, and a tobacco ware- house on King at Spadina, twenty-six persons made up the whole staff, To- day the staff numbers sixty-seven. They service 172 cafeterias and stands throughout Ontario. The bakery, now producing 1000 dozen 'small cakes a day, has tripled its service in six years' operations. Four trucks leaving the premises every day tran- sport the freshly cooked goodies to numerfus stands. Six large walk-in refrigerators, three in the lower kit- chen, three in the upper, will keep Loud cool and crisp for all three din- ing rooms in our new centre, and for the other cafeterias serviced through- out the province, A greatly enlarged and modernized library building is located at the south end of the Main Building, The in- crease in space--about 50% --means more and beter facilities for publish- ing, recording, and general shipping. The Library, covering 9,000 square feet, now handles up to 8,000 pounds of mail daily, . The recreation section at the north end of the Main Building containg a large auditorium and stage for use by clubs of the blind, theatre groups and general entertainment. Old hands and new enthusiasts will be able to spend many after-five hours in the hobby shop. The latest word is that new and different hobbies will pro- vide added skills for do-it yourself |. addicts. The new 140 bed residence is di- rectly connected to the north end of the dining arca. Along with the tra- ditional spirit built over many years at the old residence, the new quarters will retain the name Clarkewood. In- dividually decorated rooms, modern drapes and carpeted corridors offer the finest accommodation and comfort to the new residents. Clever design has eliminated most stairs and steps as well as sharp corners and turns. Various types of doorknobs, suggested by a blind person, will-help identify rooms. An automatic elevator en- sures easy 'movement from floor to floor. Sitting rooms and lounges of- fer privacy for personal visits as well as ample space for larger get-togeth- ers. Safety and confidence for both totally blind and partially seeing are ensured by a lighted and railed walk from the front entrance to the bus connections. An elaborate fire alarm system including fire exits from each wing on all floors will assure sleep undisturbed by thoughts of fire. Ba- thing and washing facilities are equipped with modern fixtures and skid-resistant mats. Nine staff mem- bers -and 28 volunteers are ready to help the residents at all times, Gentle- men residents may discuss personal needs with one of the male members of the volunteer committee.
