The building is heated by means of a low pressure central
heating system and hospital pattern radiators, with inset electric
fires for supplementary or emergency use, the latter being needed
only in very cold weather or if the central heating should fail
from any cause. Hot water is supplied to the hand basins from
a central boiler. Both boilers are in a stoke-hold below the entrance
hall and all pipes are hidden as far as practicable in ducts beneath
the floor.
All internal doors are of flush oak finish and polished and the
fittings are of bronze. All lighting fittings are of modern design,
dust proof and hygienic and at the same time technically efficient.
The cost of the building was £6,814, and of furnishings £487.
From this description it will be recognised that the cost of
cleaning the Centre and the subsequent maintenance costs have
been reduced to a minimum. In this respect an object lesson will
be provided for the mothers attending the Centre.
