Members of the Seaforth Local Advisory Committee heard from Chuck Meyer, manager of building services for the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance at a meeting Monday that the project will begin within the week. "The entire project should be done by May 1," he said. Meyer said the oldest section of the hospital, built in 1964, will have its brickwork covered by an exterior insula- tion system that will have a stucco -like appearance. "Right now, there's no vapour barrier and moisture gets behind the brick, freezes and blows the brick off the wall," he said. The new exterior will add two inches of insu- lation, giving the build- ing an R value (thermal resistance) of 15. The newest section of the hospital, the emer- gency ward -and the entrance of the building built in 1989, does not need the recladding, said Meyer. "The new part of the building is in good shape and it wasn't warranted," he said. Meyer said the Alliance is committed to maintaining the small- er hospital buildings and is "making signifi- cant capital invest- ments" on them. The recladding in Seaforth, which has been in the planning stages for four years, will be split over two fiscal years. LAC vice -chair Sheila Morton joked that the construction on the hos- pital could fuel the rumour mill. "I'm sure everyone will know we're repair- ing the building and not tearing it down," she said. "That'll be the rumour on the street," agreed Meyer. He said a simi- lar rumour that Clinton Public Hospital would close went through Clinton when the Alliance replaced a 1964 boiler sys- tem at CPH over the summer. "The rumour was 'I'm sure everyone will know we're repairing the building and not tearing it down,' -- Sheila Morton, of Seaforth LAC that we ripped out the heat- ing system and were closing the hospital," he said. A sig- nage project, which will update signs at the four ,% Alliance hos- pitals starting in Clinton next week, could also add to the rumour, said site administra- tor Mary Cardinal. "Construction equipment here and changing the signs - just image that rumour," she said. The new signs will use the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance's tree logo, along with each hospital's name and change the emergency department's signs to show a red background.
