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 three additional units of three stories each. 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 three 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 200 beds; of these, upwards of 160 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.

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.
