My wife and I have been to that building several times in the last couple of years. It's always freezing cold in winter.
I think maybe building management has turned the heat off to the lobby to save money, because the building faces north, there's nothing blocking the wind, and people are going in and out all day, so the doors are always opening and closing.
It's inexcusable for the hospital to tolerate this situation! They need to put heat in that lobby immediately, in order to protect vulnerable patients such as old people, and infants and toddlers. It's frequently below freezing there inside the lobby in winter, and it's endangering the health of medical patients who have to go into that building for care. Hypothermia is a definite possibility!
