ON THE COVER The Honorable Ray Harrison, Judge, Des Moines Municipal Court, delivered the keynote speech during the 1969 Commencement exercises.

Fl AM. NAL

When most of us were very little, we learned a nursery rhyme that went ... "London Bridge is falling down, fallingdown . . ." We generally repeated the

words, but thought little of their meaning. Today, the buildings that house the complex called College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery are in a state not unlike the London Bridge. Recognizing this fact isn't difficult; acquiring new facilities is. Some of you may have read about our new idea for an urban medical complex in this publication or heard about it at a state convention. Just as osteopathic medicine is an ever-changing, ever-growing profession, so must our new facilities grow and change with the times. Basically, the building is a three story monolithic structure which contains a central interior garden court from which four wings radiate outward. The interior garden court contains a large circular structure half of which is an open auditorium (644 capacity). Three enclosed adjacent lecture rooms (143 capacity each) complete the circle (see figure A). The ceiling of the court stretches to the third floor, thus providing the building with an internal environment. The wings which radiate outward from the court neatly segregate the clinical sciences, the students and related services, the basic sciences, and the administration.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

NORTH WINGThe entire North Wing houses clinical departments and an out-patient diagnostic and treatment center. The area allocated to each clinical department includes both the departmental space and the patient care area appropriate to each department. The basement contains bulk storage areas, medical records storage, and the Department of Biomedical Communications. The departments of Surgery and Radiology, an emergency room, general clinic and reception area, pharmacy,

and laboratory make up the first floor. The general clinic will be used by all patients for first visits and for follow-up treatment by those who will be managed by the Family Care Clinic. Patients referred to the various specialty areas will return to the appropriate specialty area for future care. The second floor contains the departments of Internal Medicine and Osteopathic Practice and related areas; the third floor, the departments of Psychiatry, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics-Gynecology.
