weekender november 22 1986 p13 construction crews were hard at work this week on site services for the markham stouffville hospital brent lowery hospital design s tried and true definite savings to be gained by adding during construction mr lowry said the hospitals design is well suited to the ex isting designs of buildings in the community and in a sense will be a village by itself the building will be made up of various pavillions designed to pick up the character of mar kham from the color of the bricks to the shape of the roof the whole style happens to work quite well with the horizontal design mr lowry is a specialist in in stitutional buildings hospitals in particular and said that because the markham hospital project has taken so long to get off the ground it will be a better facility for it its a very interesting situa tion he said by waiting theyre getting a better hospital weve looked over the credit val ley hospital and improved on the things that didnt work so well there it will be a complete state of the art hospital the planning as in production of actual blueprints is in the final stages completion of the 40 mil lion facility is currently set for late 1988 by edo van belkom markham residents eager to find out what their new hospital might look like can get an idea of things to come by travelling to mississauga and strolling the halls of the credit valley hos pital the fact that the markham stouffville hospital when com pleted will bear some similarity to credit valley is no coincidence the architect of both projects is henry lowry of the firm mathers and haldenby mr lowry says that the outside appearance of markham s new hospital will differ from credit valley but both spring from the same organizational concept in terms of appearance the two are fairly different but from an organizational and planning point of view theyre sisters said mr lowry who has been an architect for 13 years and has 14 hospital projects to his credit three of them from the ground up theyre very similar in con cept both have threestorey hori zontal design that allows many functions to be performed on one or two floors in addition the lobby and main enterance areas are large to be come more of an active part of the hospital where they used to be very ceremonial one aspect of the two hospitals that will differ according to mr lowry is their flexibility mar- khams design allows for several future expansions credit valley is a larger hos pital with 366 beds and has allo wances for one major expansion markham is designed to poten tially double its size through ex pansions of diagnostic and treat ment facilities he said the question of expansion might seem premature consider ing the site is still being turned over with bulldozers but a minis try of health announcement made earlier this month said york region is in need of approx imately 300 more hosptal beds to meet the present demand the markham stouffville hos pital board has suggested that an additional 70 beds could be easily accomodated and would complete the second and third floors of the nursing pod unit the first two pods have three floors each what began as a 200 bed facility in 1983 is presently slated for 244 beds and could have as many as 314 upon completion we are hoping to go to tender after christmas and hope to have approval for the new beds said glenn crosby a trustee of
