St. Joseph Mercy Hospital Dining Areas
This $2 million project, completed in April, 1981, involved renovation of existing dining facilities at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital and construction of a one-story, 10.000-sq. ft. addition to provide a cafeteria seating area for 350 persons. It features extensive use of both exterior and interior brick. The design theme, according to Ray Moldenhauer, AIA, project designer for the architectural firm, "focused on the creation of a relaxed atmosphere. The use of brick walls adds to the warmth of the space and combines with other natural materials, potted greenery and dual-terraced skylights to reinforce a tranquil setting." The landscaped courtyard outside the new dining area also is walled in brick, while interior columns are clad in brick, laid up in soldier coursing. The renovated facility includes food serving and vending areas, a doctors' dining room seating 80 in a restaurant atmosphere, and a sisters' dining unit, accommodating 10, which was given a residential flavor. Jury comments: "... an excellent solution to the design problem... an extremely sensitive and well-founded use of masonry materials, particularly in interior spaces... pleasant decor and furnishings contribute to a warm, relaxed atmosphere."

Future Architects Learn Bricklaying
Centuries ago an architect was a master builder as well as a designer. It was mandatory that a craft be learned before certification as master builder and architect. To acquaint future architects with actual "hands on" experience in bricklaying, the Masonry Advisory Council-with the cooperation of Prof. Roger Whitmore, of the Architecture Department of the University of Illinois Chicago Circle Campus, and BAC Local #21, Chicago-two hands on experience sessions were recently held at the Bricklayers Apprentice Training School in Chicago. After a short period of instruction by Joe Skopic (center), apprentice foreman, and Colin Munro (left), executive director, Illinois Masonry Institute, the students were actually building brick and concrete block walls.
