Crawley Hospital
The first part of the building was completed in 1961 - 1962. Extensions were built between 1966 and 1970 and in 1981.
Originally, a full range of services was provided: outpatient care, an Accident and Emergency department and a maternity unit. Funding cuts and the opening of a new hospital in nearby Haywards Heath affected the hospital's status, however, and for a period during the 1990s it was threatened with closure
The Hospital is a three- to four-storey reinforced concrete structure clad with dark steel, white tiles, red glazed bricks and large areas of glass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawley_Hospital

Crawley Hospital
Some services, such as A & E, have closed, transferred to Reigate and Redhill, but it has been refurbished and survives. The near entrance is for the 'Urgent Treatment Centre' - presumably for walking wounded.

If you think this is bad you should see the entrance
A view of the access road to/from Crawley Hospital. The observant amongst you will notice a certain conflict between the road markings and the road signs. Someone has decided to change the direction of traffic flow through the hospital grounds and this will be the exit. Not concealing the road markings until the day of the change seems penny-pinching until you consider the other end of the one-way system. That is now marked as the entry but it is still the exit so the new road markings are provoking a head-on collision.
Improved traffic flow may be the intention but, seeing as the one-way system has been in place for over ten years, most people will just drive in the way they 'know' is the entrance. Especially if they are a bit distracted which is not unheard in those going to a hospital (in a hurry). I think they should have erected enormous signs (at least the size of a car) which you would be less likely to miss.
