Plan.
The Clinics and Juvenile Employment Bureau are planned
on a single floor with basement for heating purposes under the
caretaker's quarters on the first floor.
The Maternity Clinic rooms are grouped around a large
General Waiting Room which in turn gives access to the Dental
Clinic and School Clinic. This large General Waiting Room,
which has a 16ft. ceiling height giving clerestory lighting, is for
the use of the clinics generally, but each clinic is self-contained
and has its own separate waiting room and clerks' office.
A reinforced concrete pram shelter with lights over is
provided on the north-east fronts, and the pram park is paved
with 9 in. by 9 in. buff tiles, fin. joints being used.
All clinics open on to a paved area part of which can be
used for remedial exercises. A fish pond, with fountain, placed
at the intersection of the centre lines of the main exits opening
on to the area, provides a pleasant central feature.
The School Clinic has a large room which can be used at
alternate periods for the treatment of Minor Ailments or tor
Orthopaedic and Ophthalmic cases.
A Sunray Room is provided with easy access to both
Maternity and School Clinics.
The Juvenile Employment Bureau has accommodation
for clerks, and public space as required.
All clinics have ample lavatory and changing accommodation.
On the first floor the caretaker's quarters are provided with

to the tank room over is gained by means of a cat ladder from
the caretaker's store.
