Built in 1951, the three story tall Admissions Building is one of the newest building at the hospital. It currently sits almost exactly where the administration section of the Main Building once stood. When the foundation for the Admissions building was being dug, construction workers unearthed debris that had been buried fifty years earlier from the demolition of the Main Building. A hallway leading out from behind the building connects it to the front of the Solarium Building. While connecting the two building together was surely more convenient for patients and staff it effectively destroyed the unique features of the Solarium.
