Conolly Building Construction Updates

When the rebuild began, it was necessary to separate off part of the inpatient facility (Pinel Unit) that adjoined the demolition area and building site.  To reduce the negative impact of the building activity on patients and staff, some inpatients were relocated to other parts of the hospital.  In typical Therapeutic Community fashion, patients joined staff to carry personal and lighter items, alongside hired professionals brought in to do the heavy lifting!  A shared morning tea and lunch also brought the Ashburn community together to share their experiences of the day.  We are confident that we will continue to provide a safe environment for people to address their mental health problems at Ashburn, and that the number of inpatient beds that we have available will remain largely unchanged.
