The hospital is the property of the University and is under the exclusive
control of its Medical Faculty. It was designed and is administered as a
teaching hospital, being so arranged that free use can be made of its clinical
material without in any way disturbing or violating the privacy of other
patients.

The buildings are arranged upon the pavilion system, consisting of a central
structure, four stories in height, to which have been added up to the
present time five additional units including a service building. The central
building is largely devoted to administrative purposes and general service
departments, but also contains an amphitheater and suite of private operating
rooms, sterilizing and anesthetizing rooms. The four pavilions are connected
with the main building by corridors on each floor. In these are located
the wards and suites of rooms for private patients. As at present constituted,
the hospital has a capacity of about 250 beds; of these, approximately
200 are available and used for clinical teaching.

The north pavilion contains, in addition to quarters for ward and private
patients, on the first floor, a specially designated series of laboratory rooms,
which have been equipped with new and modern furnishings and apparatus
throughout. The basement floor is devoted in large part to the Out-Patient
Department of the Hospital. Here separate waiting rooms for white and
colored patients are provided, examining rooms for medical cases, operating
rooms for minor surgery, specially equipped rooms for genito-urinary and
orthopedic surgery and for the treatment of diseases of the eye, ear, nose
and throat. On the same floor is the Roentgen Ray Department of the hospital.
The recently opened south pavilion, made possible through the
generosity of Paul Goodloe McIntire, houses the departments of obstetrics,
pediatrics and orthopedics.

Attention is particularly called to the fact that the hospital, with its associated
Out-Patient Department, constitutes a most valuable adjunct to the
teaching facilities of the Department of Medicine. The size of the clinic permits

the presentation of a wide variety of cases, and the organization of the
hospital as an integral part of the Medical Department affords exceptional
facilities for thorough study of the individual case.

The location of the University Hospital is a most favorable one, being
situated at the intersection of two great railway trunk lines near the geographical
center of the State. A large population outside of the city of
Charlottesville is available as a source of clinical material, both in the wards
and the Out-Patient Department. The hospital is thus enabled to serve
a large area of the State, and the transportation facilities are such that this
service includes a progressively increasing number of emergency cases and
cases of acute illness.
