Abstract
This thesis outlines the planning, design, and specifications for the development of the South Pittsburg City Hospital in Tennessee. South Pittsburg lacked a 24-hour hospital; the nearest was Tri-City Hospital in Bridgeport, Alabama. Local doctors operated a clinic in South Pittsburg and Tri-City Hospital, which was inefficient. A new hospital was planned in South Pittsburg due to its central location and accessibility. The hospital was designed with two floors: main floor (33 beds, clinic, dental office) and basement (kitchen, service). The project also included the separation of hospital operations from visitor areas, efficient circulation for ambulances, service trucks, and staff, outdoor sitting areas for patients and visitors, and the integration of landscape and architectural features
