Visitor- Employe
Parking Garage
Gets Go Ahead
A bit of relief is in sight for frustrated
patients and visitors who can’t seem to
find a parking place when they come to
the Medical Center.
Plans have been announced for a 1,200
car parking garage, to be built on the site
of the present Visitors' Parking Lot,
which will include some spaces for
employe cars.
The 220,000 sq. ft. building,
constructed with traditional Hillsborough
stone and concrete, will have two levels
above the ground. The ground floor will
hold about 450 cars with about 380
places on each of the upper two levels.
Bo,th elevators and stairs will be provided
for users of the lot.
According to present plans, part or
possibly all of the top floor will be
available to certain Medical Center
personnel on a rental basis once the
garage is completed. Details about who
will be able to park in the garage and
what the cost will be have not yet been
decided.
The Nellb Teer Co., general contractor
for the $2 million structure, should begin-
work on the project in September. The
first phase will be completed in December
and the entire project should open next
spring, probably in Aprjl.
(See related story about parking on

Marshall Fowler, the Medical
Center fire marshal, announced last
week that fire drills may now be called
anywhere in the Hospital at any time
of the day or night.
Previously drills had been scheduled
for certain days of the week.
