Suratthani Hospital is one of the busiest public hospital in Surathani with 500 beds for in-patient and 500 for Daily Out-patient. In 2009 the hospital had overloaded the capacity 800 beds of in-patient and over 2000 Daily Out-patient. The hospital require urgent reorganization and require extra building. The challenging was the new building would have to be built without interfering the hospital the main function, therefore it require good understanding of the hospital functionality and circulation. The master plan were laid out to build new patient building around the existing busy Out Patient Department (OPD) where the open space is now. The layout had concerned the patient's open space for air circulation and view and most of all it concerned the connectivity of the in-out patient and hospital services by separate the access between type or patient and services in order to give better function for the emergency route which is the major function of the hospital.
