Building 45: Cavell

Building 45, Cavell is part of the ‘Girls Village’ as a specialised dormitory building; along with Building 14, Norham, it was marked on architect’s plans as a ‘Troublesome Villa,’ in this case for female patients. It was built from 1958-62, and is a two-storey building with pitched roofs; it is rectangular in plan with a single-story pitched-roof wing projecting from its north-west elevation. The cavity walls are skinned in orange brick laid in stretcher courses, with slightly projecting foundation courses highlighted in darker purple brick. The upper story is finished in roughcast, with both gable ends elaborated with header brick decoration. Windows have simple brick surrounds with brick lintel courses laid as perpendicular stretchers and simple concrete sills; they were shuttered in light-permeable metal sheeting and some boarded with ply board, reducing levels of light in the building during building recording. The building shares its ground plan with Building 14, Norham. Some areas of the building, including the projecting wing, were not accessible during the building recording because of the presence of hazardous ACMs.

The south-east flank of the building contains the two large public rooms, the dining room and day room, with interconnecting double doors between them. The south-western flank of the building contains the kitchens complex. The north-east flank of the ground floor contains the clinical/duty room and a series of smaller rooms labelled ‘seclusion room’ and ‘BR’ on the historic ground plans.

The projecting pavilion wing houses sluice, store and occupational therapy rooms, as designated on the historic ground plans. These areas were not accessible during the building recording due to the presence of hazardous ACMs. The first floor houses the large dormitory rooms, bathrooms, single occupancy bedrooms, and historically, a ‘nurses’ station’.
