History
Oakbank was originally a Poor Law hospital, commissioned by the Glasgow Parish Council. The facility, which was designed by Alex Cullen, opened as the Western District Hospital in September 1904.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948[2] and closed in 1965.[3] The buildings were subsequently used as a temporary facility for the Royal Hospital for Sick Children during reconstruction in the late 1960s and have since been demolished.[3]

gollark: Down with arbitrary limits! More flexibility!
gollark: You could possibly just go for some sort of genetic algorithm to optimize, say, efficiency with penalties for going over 0H/t.
gollark: I could make a reactor simulation library, that might be a fun project. And then use it to optimize reactors somehow.
