Consultants helping to build a new hospital in Leader, Saskatchewan, pulled out Lego blocks during meetings with local officials to get input about how the hospital should look, according to an article on the Sun News Network website.
The facility will combine healthcare services currently housed in four buildings.
"They broke out these big boxes of Legos and I thought, 'Man, this is just kind of silly, really very childish,'" Town Council member Jason Hodge said. But, he said, those feelings passed as people discussed what they wanted to see in the new center.
"The Legos really helped me see, and I could run through scenarios in my head and really see how everything was laid out and how it was going to work," Trina Ries, a special-care aide, said.
