Building 31: The McCoull Clinic

The McCoull Clinic is a large building fronting on to the main hospital road. It was built in 1959, and named after the Dr George McCoull who served as the Hospital’s first Medical Superintendent. It is a two story building with a flat tarpaper roof. The cavity walls’ outer skin is composed of bricks laid in alternate header and stretcher courses; windows have simple brick surrounds and simple concrete sills. The building is tripartite in plan: the front block is parallel with the access road and is connected to a single-story central block at its south-east corner. This central block connects to an angled wing to the south-east. This angled block has a projecting wing and because of the sloping topography it appears as a single-story building at its north-west elevation and as two stories at its south-east elevation. The main doors in the front elevation are recessed into the building façade and sit beside an abstract mosaic decorative panel; both elements are sheltered beneath a flat-roofed porch supported by hollow metal columns. The building also has a basement which was not accessible during the building recording. Externally, the grassy area to the south-west of the building was used to re-site Colonel Swan’s fountain and the angled courtyard between the front and central blocks was asphalted and used as a carpark.

The rear angled block housed the dental surgery department, with an operating room, surgery and sterilisation unit with an associated office. A central internal corridor connects this unit with the rest of the building and to the projecting wing. This wing held staff rooms according to the historic ground plans. The front block contains storage, sluice, utility and clinical rooms, bathrooms fitting with specialised clinical ARJO baths, a kitchen, single bedrooms, a multiple-occupancy ward room and day room. The central block contained the pharmacy, a waiting room, X-ray and EEG room and a dark room.

The first floor originally contained two large laboratory rooms; these have been subdivided into two smaller rooms. The further small rooms are office and staff rooms. The head of the main stairs, towards the south-west end of the block, was originally designated as a waiting room but this area has been stripped out to form an empty hallway.
