CAMBRIDGE – Four new public elevators should all be in service at Cambridge Memorial Hospital by the end of April, at a cost of $650,000.
Tuesday, a crane lowered the two new elevator cars into B-block near the in-hospital Tim Hortons coffee shop. They replaced 37-year-old units. Last fall, the hospital’s two original elevators in A-block were replaced, said hospital spokesperson Alan Clay. They were installed in 1953 and refurbished in the late 1980s.
The province is paying for the work, he said. The new elevators have easy-to-clean interior finishes to help control infections in the hospital, along with talking controls.
