The given map compares the modifications which were made at Queen Mary Hospital from 1960 to 2000.
Overall, in 4 decades, the hospital was extended to include many additional services such as cancer centre, pharmacy and nursing school.
In 1960, in the South of the main road, there were four blocks. One of them was the hospital at the top right. Besides that, there was a shopping centre to its left and a car park and a farmland were available below these two buildings. In next 20 years, the shopping centre was demolished and two new small buildings were constructed, a pharmacy attached with the hospital and a cancer centre. In addition, farmland was replaced with nursing school.
In 2000, the cancer centre was expanded to cover the entire nursing school. Furthermore, the area for the car park was reduced to its half to make room for the nursing school. The only place which remained unchanged during the whole time period was the main hospital building.
